1st Xmas with the 250

No regrets buying my first diesel. I now have a year on her with no issues, lots of off road driving and long distance travel. I decided to spend some money on her this Xmas. Changed all the fluids over to Amsoil, Mag-Hytec front diff cover, new steering stabilizer setup and fresh 37x13.50x22 Grapplers sent from Nitto. 4 Wheel Parts looked over the entire suspension system and replaced the front driver side Fabtech suspension coil, new pitman arm bushing, new track bar, added front bump stops and new end links. I bought this truck used and the suspension system had some issues (death wobble, driver side lean, etc..), 4 Wheel Parts misdiagnosed the problem and offered to do everything for free plus a free alignment if I bought the parts. Good group pf guys at the 1960 location in Houston. I did a walk around video after I spent half the day cleaning her.

There's a reason you see Ford Diesels everywhere you go! They're the best!

Merry Christmas Ford People!

Yes sir they are the best. My 3rd Christmas with my old girl (f250), this is pretty much the longest I've kept one vehicle, so I guess that says a lot! Think I might even keep her past warrenty

Have great christmas

Great looking truck! Haha I went through my first Christmas with my 350 this year too and LOVE IT! I can't wait to get half the upgrades you have to yours. I am saving up for the DPF delete kit first though.

Thanks guys, you can hear the infamous 6.7L ticking after a fresh oil change, but like I said, no issues at all! I might eventually swap out the composite oil pan for the 2013 metal version. Seems to have a bit of leaking around that area.
