New Truck!

Hello All,
With the help of some useful advice from you guys I pulled the trigger on a new rig!

Here she is:



06 F350 6.0 Powerstroke
Lariat FX4 with 140K
100% stock, no motor work or anything.

The guy I bought it from was a mechanic at a Ford dealership and took really good care of it.

I had the truck for a week now, but haven't driven it more than about 20 miles (still not registered )

Any advice on what to be looking at this early?

Congrats, nice truck!
Hers a link to some info in the tech folder. Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums - View Single Post - Just bought 06 F350 FX4 6.0!! Lots of other good info in there.

If everything's going well under the hood I'd get an OBDII monitor to keep an eye on it and then get some of the 2008 and up mirrors on there. I'm not sure if they have any left but Super Suty Service (FTE member) had a good deal on a pair. Manual fold and extend but electric adjust and heated. Plug and play. They would look great on that truck!

Very nice truck get a Dashboss or it's equivalent and watch your ect's vs eot's.
Many other features to review data and determine future possible issues.
Enjoy.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

I finally got it registered on Saturday and can't stop driving it! It is really a great truck. The motor is super smooth and the power is amazing. The previous owner really took good care of it and it shows.
