Just picked it up

I made my first post earlier and never did introduce myself. My name is Mike and I live a little north of Canton Ohio. I am new to the diesel scene and I just picked up this 2010 F250. Here is a picture of the truck. It is all stock but I still love it.

They are fine..they armor alled then I'd say.

The issue with dirty pipes are a potential bad DPF or an over fueling condition. So that is why I asked.

Just occasionally look at them along with your other preventative maintance items.

Great looking truck though! Be meticulous with maintenance and she'll return the favor ten fold.

It is just the angle. The truck is Ford Certified so tires would not be allowed to be low on tread. I would say they are about 70%.

Sennix, you need to borrow his tailpipe picture to use when you show people what they should look like. Your's has two pounds of mud on it.

I'm sure the mud got on there doing good honest truck stuff. My 2WD DRW truck can get stuck on a wet highway, no way I'm getting it in the mud.
