I bought my 93 w-250 in oct.09. It had propane inj. The truck came with only stock gages.I do not tow heavy loads, 90% empty. Propane is set for mild power inc. Feels like small "passing gear when kicked in". I am fighting health probs but will soon install gages.

I installed propane on my 7.3. It was neat, but not worth the trouble or expense.

I did some research on it last night, and it seems to give you 2-3 mpgs extra, which means that what you save in fuel goes directly to the propane, doesnt sound worth it to me
