My first Diesel

Well I bit the bullet and traded in my 05 F-150 Lariat CC for a 06 F-350 XLT, LB,CC,6.0! What a truck, makes you feel like a tough guy just driving it. Love the looks and power. My group of friends and relatives drive Fords with diesels, now I'm one of the boy's! Plan on doing all maintenace myself. Need to do some more reading on here for sure. Any tips you'd like to give me for starters? My first mods are going to be cosmetic. I'm looking at seat covers from Super Hides, or Wet Okle. Also need husky mud flaps and floor mats. Bug visor and bedlining installed (line-x). I have a great wife I must admit!!

Actually, that would be P*C*Bs... polychlorinated biphenyls.

Be careful before you rag on someone else's typo.
