What should I replace/beef up?
First post here and I’m looking for some help from more experienced members. So I have a 96 f250 with only 56k miles, I’m driving the truck everyday and also will be using it to plow(just a small parking lot for my business). That being said I was wondering what should I replace or beef up because i love this truck and I want it to last me for awhile. So far I’ve replaced the front leaf spring to help with the weight of the plow but I’m not sure what else should be done.

we need pics first
that really low miles and we demand a photo shoot
First, replace that orange boot of death on turbo if you have not
do you have AC? if yes then the brake system needs a fuse or it can catch fire, free recall still
get a fluid dampr Harmonic balancer, i bet yours will fail soon being that old and the dorman ones are not good from local parts places

Fluidfilm work pretty well? Bout to try it out on my E99 before I head down to the beach. Hoping it'll protect against the salt.

I'm by no means an expert but,
3" Down pipe? Does it have the factory flattened down pipe? What about the intake, is it the original factory intake? These are cheaper upgrades and will add some power by getting her to breathe better. I had to install a 3" down on mine. But the previous owner had done a s&b cold air intake on my truck. A lot of these guys install a easily acquired air filter that works very well. Maybe someone can chime in

My boy says it works well in UT. He did his Saturn wagon... yah plastic body panels but the structure is steel!
It is his travel for work ride.It is very messy going on. We did it a few months back when he was off and I flew to AZ to build his truck's AC and do a shift kit.
