96 PSD newb questions...
Some of you might have seen my previous post that I'm picking up my 96 F-350 4x4 this weekend. Have a few questions that I couldn't find answers to:
-Can I fit a 15" rim on the truck without interferance?
-The truck has dual fuel tanks....wondering what size each tank is?
-The truck is equipped with auto locking hubs....I will be changing out to manual shortly...any advice with brands or install tips?
-Any "free mods" that can be done to the truck?
-Advice on a service manual....chiltons, hanes??
Think that's about it for now. I'm going to be troubleshooting a soft brake pedal this weekend, so I'll probably be posting up about that on monday. Thanks!!

on my 97, the front tank is roughly 19 gal and the rear roughly 16.
I still have the original factory auto hubs and have never had a problem. If you need to, or are just set on changing them, most people go with Warn and they reportedly supply Ford to begin with.
Free mods - shim the fuel pressure regulator up to about 70 psi; CCV reroute to exhaust (not sure this is needed on an OBS but the ones with ICs do it); heater mod (reduce hot water running when vent or ac is on thus making colder); that is about all I can think of that wont cost much but there are sure to be others.
give www.thedwilsons.com a read.

15" rims? They came with 16s. They offer a higher load rating
My long bed has a front 19 gal and rear 18 gal tank. Never run them empty!
I switched my auto hubs to manuals when the truck was new. The dealer replaced them with ford hubs.
Not many "free mods" but there are a lot of cheap ones. I would recomend a Napa 6637 air filter to replace your entire stock intake setup. Then a new 3" down pipe, you can gut the cat for free and the muffler is not restrictive, that helps free up the exhaust. This site has a lot of info to keep you busy.
Good luck with your truck
