Good evening Ford Fans.
I have the Van back together, now watching the radiator for problems.

Good morning. Well have been doing a few inexpensive upgrades to my new to me 2015 F-250. Added bed Matt, utility box, PIAA bulbs for the fog lights, next will be the headlights. When it rains, night driving hard to see real well for me here in the mountains. Used to the desert.

Question - the truck does not have whelk well liners, was wondering if good use of money The truck is going to be my travel trailer workhorse.

It has 6.2L, 4x4 with lockers on both axels, crew cab with long bed, and heavy duty tow package along with 5th wheel setup

Ford stopped putting rear wheel well liners on around 2004-2005. On mine I just cleaned everything up as much as I could and sprayed on a good layer of bedliner. The plastic liners can accumulate dirt and moisture around the edges and cause rust issues, anyways. Same reason I don’t like hard plastic bed liners.

How do you like the 6.2? I’ve always loved diesels, but the extra costs and maintenance are a pain sometimes. What kind of gas mileage are you seeing?
