1st oil/fuel filter change

well gang, Just completed my 1st oil change and fuel filter change in the 7.3.... it went pretty well, I even installed the fumoto quik valve.... for quicker changes.... used the napa gold filters, only have to say is I like the napa gold fuel filter b/c of the integrated cap and two new gaskets it comes with but man you have to watch out not to cross-thread since it fits so tight, good thing i had a spare sitting up on the shelf....

Also managed to install new speakers in the truck too, nothing special just 6x8 3-ways... so much better than the stock crap-tastic ones.

So the trucks coming along pretty good since its been in my care, now just to get that tune in.... only if time and money were infinite!!

Gotta love the rattle. Real trucks don't have spark plugs.

Gotta say my favorite Ford engines are:

1. 7.3 Powerstroke
2. 300 Straight Six
3. 390 FE

Out of everything I've owned those are my favorites. I am looking forward to rebuilding my 7.3 IDI though. SHould be fun.
