Questions about my new 2008 F350 4X4CREW/CS
I just bought a black almost fully loaded 2008 F350 4X4CREW/CS with the 6.4l. Sticker was $55,800 and I got it for $650 over invoice. I didn't have a way to get the X plan. It was the only black one with navigation I could find in Orange and LA County CA. I love the truck. I get soo many people doing the double take and talking to me that it's shocking. I set the cruise control on and drove 50 freeway miles at 70mph and it averaged 16.3mph.
Here's the questions:
Mine didn't come with the Traction Control option. Can my truck be upgraded with it?
Mine didn't come with the rear step. Can the step be added without replacing the entire tailgate?
Has anyone tried replacing the stock headlight bulbs with 35 or 50w HID's? and did the beam pattern look good or was it too full of Hots spots? How about HID's for low and high beams?
Has anyone found a way(mods are ok) to feed a backup camera signal to the Nav unit?
Where is the sub? and has anyone found a spot to install one or two 12" subs that won't hog up cabin space?
Thanks.

It sounds like me and you have the same (or almost same) truck except i dont have navigation bc i already have a panasonic touchscreen 7" that im going to install w a reverse camera. but every other question you were asking i want to know as well... including the tailgate step, the 12" subs and headlights... if you find out any info please pm me and let me know.... or if anyone else has any info it would be appreciated. thanks

I just removed the handle for the step and Line-X'd my bed/tailgate. If you remove the access panel on the tail gate you will see where the handle mounts. If you remove the black molding on the tailgate edge, there should be a hole for the step. You are going to have to purchase the handle assembly, the plastic tailgate liner, and the special torx bolts with a collar, to hold the cover on. In addition, you need to buy the step assembly and hardware. It is probably cheaper to find a complete 08 tailgate. Somebody on here got one for $350 from a service body company. I paid $87 for the access cover and $2.30 (8x) for the standard torx bolts. FYI the traction control turns itself off in four wheel drive.
