08 F550 common problems

Hey all, my name is Willie and I just found your forum. I'm a tree guy in Southern Oregon and just bought an F550 with a 6.4L, auto tranny and 4x4. I'm upgrading from an 01 Cummins and haven't dealt with Powerstroke since their early days. Anyway, I hope you folks can tell me about common problems or preventative fixes. Maybe threads I should search out. I am sure many gremlins are common to other F series. Any input would be much appreciated. Just bought the truck from the state so I would imagine everything is stock.

#1 in your search is the 6.4 tech folder:

Follow the severe maintaince duty schedule.

Probably you will do service intervals by hours as well.
