Bought a 99...
99 F350 PSD
2wd Dually
Tan interior, power everything
Had it for a little over a week and love it.
Looking for info like stock turbo size, capacities, other specs like that....
Also, what are some common problems with these trucks/engines? and what parts should i keep on hand, just in case, heh. I've heard i should be keeping a serpentine belt behind the seat.
Thanks

Hey Mr_Gus, welcome to FTE! 
Welcome to the best place on the net for fords!
awesome looking truck, that is really nice.
some things to keep on hand are a spare CPS (search a little) and a 10mm socket to change it. also like you said a serpentine belt.
i would run a good fuel additive, i run Powerservice white for winter, and grey for summer. the white bottle has anti-gel additive so you won't have gelled fuel in cold climates. you have a 2wd so im guessing you live in the south and dont see cold temps.
change oil to a good synthetic, and i see its an automatic and you will also want to change the tranny fluid (flush it) with synthetic and run a in-line filter. i assume you pull trailers with that rig, so i would also recommend a shift kit and a fat tranny cooler.
stock turbo is a Garrett GTP38.
engine oil capacity with filter change is 15 quarts.
the transmission holds about 17 quarts with a fluid flush.
if you need anything else, just ask, the guys are great around here.

Not looking forward to spending that much, but it looks amazing when done lol.
