Did you have a lift to get the truck in the air?

No, no need for a lift. Just used a rolling floor jack to get the back end up a few inches for sliding the old one out and the new one in. The rest of the work was done with all 4 tires on the ground...

Does anyone have a picture of the transfer case skid plate for the 2017 6.2. I am not sure if mine was removed on the first oil change and not put back on or even if it was ever put on at the factory . I am not sure what it exactly looks like and its exact position. thanks

2017 F350 dually was ordered with skid plates. I only tow my fifth wheel on roads, and never go off road. Do I need the skid plates? Is it worth weight savings to remove them?

With the new fuel tank, did you lose any functionality with DTE or etc? Is shipping included in price?

Yes, shipping is free. I changed my tank size with Forscan so the DTE is still accurate... or at least as accurate as it was with the 34 gallon tank... Dealers can change the size with their IDS computer but many don't know how so they say they can't.
