Tranny flush at dealer. 67K miles. Took it home and dropped tranny pan and replaced internal filter also. Pan was reasonably clean. I don't think it was serviced by the last owner. Internal filter had a few metal particles but I'm taking that as what doesn't get cleaned out during manufacturing. Next tranny flush will do it again at 100K. I've had it 14months. External filter was black as coal. I will be replacing that at 15K intervals. Probably flush power steering reservoir this weekend and install magna filter. That'll be the third fluid swap for the power steering in as many months.

I changed out the factory LSD with a Detroit True Track and also installed an 08 aluminum diff cover. No more 'one tire fire' for me!

Thanks! I'm pretty excited about trying it out... If it doesn't rain soon (so the roads will be slick), I need to find some dirt to play in.

Did a complete brake job on the front. Rotors, calipers, hardware, and pads. Got to by a new jack to do it. (had 1 of them aluminum race car jacks........it didn't care for the super duty diesel.)

Maybe you had a better unit than me... I could never get them both to spin. If it was raining and the light turned green, I'd have to baby it through the light to go at all; otherwise I'd have one tire just spinning up a storm and the truck would sit in place.
