First new truck, what now?

Pulled the trigger on a new 2011 250 diesel 4x4 short bed. I already have a spray liner lined up, and am trying to get my hands on a factory remote start kit, but is there anything else anyone would advise to do with a brand new truck, or more specifically a new diesel 250?

Thanks a ton in advance.

Among many others, window tint is a good early mod.

P.s. Congrats on the new rig! And welcome to FTE!

Thanks for the advice thus far, and the welcome. Hell, I'd used this forum as a guest multiple times for my other rig (05 f150), awesome place with some awesome info, so it's about time i registered!

Fluid film the underside of the truck, frame...radius arms....body....everything. Keep it 100% rust free for less than $100

new to me

I just bought my first diesel. It's an 08 F250 XLT 4x4 with the 6.4L. Like all the advise. Is the remote start aftermarket or dealer.

Dealer can do it.

If you're getting the Ford remote start, go for bi-directional unit.
