I bought my first Diesel!

So I have been wanting a 4x4 diesel for a long time but kept making half steps in that direction.....finally 2 days ago I picked this up:

2000 F350 4x4 CC with an auto and 7.3L Turbo Diesel dubbed "Double-ought"



I have never owned a diesel before so I am at the beginning of the learning curve now.....so be certain I will be picking your brains often!

I want to level the front end but Im worried that it will make my rims look really small! I have some 35 inch Nittos on some 20 inch rims on my 91 F350, but Id need adapters and I dont know how I feel about killing my fuel mileage.....but it would look awesome!

Just Another Truck is my forum leader in the Mi. chapter and he was telling me what a great forum this was, even before he knew I had this truck. He told me you guys have a road support network? I will be driving from Southern CA to Michigan in about a week so I may need some help along the way!

I'm suspecting the PO carried some heavy loads, he probably installed some F-350 blocks or something. Nice looking truck and good luck with it, were here at your disposal..

PMS? Parts Madness Syndrome? Powerstroke Madness Syndrome?
