Post 1st Year Report

I've now had my 2003 F-250 for alittle over a year. I bought it 9-13-03. My truck is an F-250 Lariat 4x4 with the 6.0 diesel. Build date for my engine is March 28-03 and the truck build date is April 03. The only problem i've had is my truck stalled alittle over 1000 miles. It started right up so I went on. It did this to me 4 times in all before 5000 miles. It hasn't stalled since about the 4500 mile mark. I've never takin it to a shop in fear of losing my pilot injection. During my first oil change I noticed the notorious drip under the bell housing. I just cleaned it off and it hasn't been back since(Thank God). Overall I love my truck and wouldn't trade it for anything. It has awsome power, smooth tranny, and gets decent fuel mileage. The single biggest complaint I have is that it takes so long to fill the fuel tank. That last few gallons takes forever. I recently put pics of my truck in my gallary. Next September I'll post my 2 year report. Until then, truck on.
