Hello, I am new to your forums, and have found tons of great reading these last couple of nights-very nice.

Truck: 2003, F350 crewcab 4x4,auto, with 44,030 miles on it.
From label on the FICM (learned about that here), DG 042 RE, 6108895, 23 June 03, AKZ2AH14.

Had a small oil drip, which the dealer fixed with a $50 oil drain plug gasket ( I think). Anyway its really the wifes truck, but with charges like that I have decided to do some of the PM's for this thing myself.

I have not wrenched on it yet, but I did drop in some Redline 'fuel catalyst', at last fill. And it looks like our mileage went from 16-17 MPG's to nearly 21MPG ?

The truck is not paid for yet, so not too much planned for aftermarket add-ons, but I am checking out the 'oilguard' thing and various threads on synthetic oils.

Anyway great site.
