I hit my exhaust sensors with a big ole can of "dammit, they fell off" last week.

Never seize is a good idea though in case of a need for a roadside change.

Anything else? Or maybe we have a "do this first" thread in this section?[/QUOTE]

I think I remember a good write up on the switches somewhere in here. Just search for it. They are accessible under the drivers side dash and in the engine compartment. I think the write up even details the wire colors for each switch.

I upgraded from F150 to F350 6.7 this year. I miss the cup holders but that's about it. I giggle every time I drive mine because I feel lucky. LOL Know what I mean??? In my area which is a lot of farm country many fuel network locations have both road and farm diesel. I am a police officer and regular road/street cops have nothing to test the fuel in your tank. It really doesn't even cross our minds unless we get specific info on a specific offender. Even with that I do not have anything to test it anyway. We do have a lot of commercial vehicle officers and other specialty officers that do. It is very tempting to want to use the cheaper stuff but I would not. I have no idea if the red stuff is the same as the ultra low suplhur bla bla bla is or not. Not worth it for me, my truck or career. If there was a problem I'm sure FORD would not cover it under warranty with all the red dye. Oh yeah one more thing, NICE TRUCK!

Cool truck. I like that truck. I don't see King Ranch emblems though, clearly an option you missed.

Nice truck Ginther I didnt want the roof lights or the sun roof but the local dealer found one somewhere close by. Didn't really like the grills on the next model and 0% got me to sign on that line pretty quick.

It came with the bed extensions which I thought was a waste of $250 but I think those things are pretty handy. For me they are worth having.

Thanks everyone for all the advise/debate etc.
