Welcome aboard, Roost! And congratulations on the new truck.

I'd strongly recommend sticking around the 7.3L forums for a few days and just read all you can - you'll gleam a lot in a short period of time. Also, check out the link in my sig, "Common Mods and Maintenance" - lots of great info packed in there.

(thread moved to 7.3L PSD section )

Welcome ROOST, we'll have you infected with PMS (Powerstroke Mod Syndrome), in no time.

By the way no ? is stupid,dum, or too easy, we all started somewhere.

As Ryan said check out that link and it will give you a great headstart( and also answer the question about the water seperator o-rings)

Once again Welcome

Yep, welcome roost. You can find out just about anything you need here, except how to get the wife off your back about the time you spend here. I have seen some creative ideas here though. I choose the ignore it or wave-off method. If this doesn't apply, then you can really dig in. Congrats on the truck.
