Hello all. I am so aware of the information forums like this provide. What a source of info. I have Traded in my faithfull friend, my 2003 F-150 Supercrew lariat FX-4. I put 38,790 miles on it and maintained it flawlessly thru the dealer. Superb truck. I now have a 2003 F-350 Lariat King Ranch 4X4 with the 6.0 diesel. It was a Ford buy back. I am truly impressed with the performance and comfort of what is my dream truck. I always wanted this truck, and now I have it. I have ordered the Blackstone oil analysis kit and will have an analysis done to it. Having knowledge of diesels from my time in the Navy, you can tell alot about your ride from an oil analysis ( fuel dilution, thickening ect.). I look forward to learning more from you all, and adding what I can. Happy New year!

Welcome, Master Chief, and congratulations.
Great truck!
After years of F-150 size trucks, I, too, also made the change to a Super Duty PSD. I love the ride, the size, the power, etc. I'm sure you will, also.
