50000 mile ??

First thing things first. I have to say that this forum is great.Have found lots of good info. Not only am I new to it but to PSD. I got my first PSD in Aug 03. Love it. It is a 01 f350 crewcab DRW. The truck did not have a manual with it. Any ideas were to get one??
Truck just turned 50000 miles and was wondering what kind of maintence I should do? With out a manual it is kind of hard. So far all I have done to the truck was change oil,filter. It will be needing a oil change in a week or so. What else should I do. I really want this truck to last a long time. Thanks for any help. Don

Other than the oil and oil filter here are the other things I would look at.

Change the fuel filter
Drain the water separator
Change air filter
Flush and change the coolant
Change the tranny fluid. (and filter if auto)
Change the differential fluid.
Check the U joints
Check the steering joints
Repack front bearings


Those are just a few things I would do if buying a used truck. Hope that helps

add diesel additive to every tank of fuel,standyne ,diesel kleen,etc etc, increase in fuel milage and protects your injectors aswell as the fuel pump, it pays for itself in milage gains
