New Superduty Owner

And I very happy one. I just picked up my truck on 5/8 and I'm loving it. Here are the details:

2004 F-350
4x4
Long Bed
Extended Cab
V10
XLT Sport, True Blue
Captin's chairs
Deluxe Aluminum wheels
Advaced Security group
stabilizer package
power drivers seat.

I'm really loving this truck, but is there anything I should do right off the bat to help her age gracefully? I've been reading these forums for a little while and I know I should re-torque the spark plugs, and will do that this weekend. Is there a CD ROM of the factory manual for the 2004's yet? I guess the bigest thing I need to keep an eye on is the front wheel bearings, but it seems there is an aftermarket part that is indestructable. When they do go, I will be replacing them with the aftermarket ones. Anyway, you all should see a lot of me from now on. Thanks in advance for any sugguestions!

Congrats on the truck! Get some pics up. As for the cd manual, I think the 2004 version is available. Check e-bay

Congrats on the new SD! I bet it's a beauty. I love the XLT Sports--I considered true blue, but went w/black instead.

Get some pics up soon, I'd love to see your new ride!

Thanks for the positive comments. I'll be checking e-bay for the manual at lunch today. I took a boat load of pics already, but I just need to get them hosted. They're all on my home computer. They'll be coming soon!

Congrats on what sounds like a beautiful truck! Wouldn't mind seeing some pix of the "Cobra" also, if indeed you have one.

Sorry, I don't really have a Cobra R. The only reason I have that screen name is because Cobra was taken, so I tried CobraR and it worked. I usually use Cobra as my screen name because I'm building a replica S/C Cobra.
