Replaced engine with a remanufactured engine have a little over 3,500 on it now and only getting 10 to 11 MPG used to get over 16 have replaced all sensors and pick up units looked for vacuum leaks, fuel leaks and any thing like that. I have been told that I just have to wait until the engine breaks in any information will be helpful.
Thanks

Actually, if it is the 4.7L you should be getting 15 to 16 MPG. A new engine does need a period of time to break in, however, 3500 miles should do it. Make sure the catylatic converter isn't starting to plug.

Also, is the engine running good?
