it is so nice .. not to read a long list of problems...

just the Life changing issues .. like oil and time or miles... brand of brakes...

even the "E" locker final needing LSD fluid

NOT.

It's a great testament to the engine when folks are bored to a point of talking about other things like fluids and maintenance items.

This engine is one of the best to come out of Ford, period. It just gets over-shadowed by the power-lust craven crowds seeking it's big brother.

I guess instead of stressing over oil coolers and FICM voltages I can stress over things like;

Should I buy a new 2.5” draw bar or just use the adapter?

Should I get a diamond plate tool box or a black one?

Should I get a seat cover for the dog?

Should I put a reminder sticker on the gas cap so I don’t fill it with diesel?

Should I take out a personal loan to fill the 48 gallon tank?

Etc, etc....... This is gonna be fun!

And don't forget the great OEM vs aftermarket wheel well liner fitment controversies...

I think we should get a group buy on tailpipe whistles so we can sound like some of the diesels that have been turned up and whistles going down the road, we have two of them in the rv park we are in

very annoying.

Ha! Cost me 92bucks to fill up last time but for how much I drive it should last me almost a month. And I bought a 2.5" shank for our camper hitch. The rest I use the adapter.

And why do these people always have to let their diesels idle for an hour before they leave, especially if they are pulling out at 5 am?
