I have a mechanic who works for a big trucking company who will spend a few hours looking it over and driving it. It has 66,000 miles and is a 400hp Cummins.

It would be safe to say that you will get about 7.5-8.5 with the Cummins and probably 6.0-7.0 with the Ford.
A lot will depend on your right foot. Take it easy and stay at 60 mph or under and you can achieve those figures.
Good luck!
MM.
