new ford owner
good morning folks
i am new to ford and diesel trucks so im quite stupid about somethings
i bought a 2005 f250 with 120000 miles on it.i hope i didnt go wrong lol
it seems perfect and the oasis and carfax were both clean
i owned a nissan titan for the past 2 yrs and towed a 34' travel trailer weighing 8500 emty.the titan pulled it fine for the most part except the long steep hills near me but the 7 mpg killed me
when i first start my truck in the am it seems louder to me and takes a couple miles to quiet down.normal?
is it just the turbo not opening up till warm?
how bad is that in the winter?
thanks for any help
Robert

when i first start my truck in the am it seems louder to me and takes a couple miles to quiet down.normal? Normal
is it just the turbo not opening up till warm? I do not know
how bad is that in the winter? I live in Michigan, warm the glow plugs a couple of times and start her up and won't quiet as soon
thanks for any help You are welcome
