Ok, Here's another one.......I have an F450. At the rear of the truck, on ht e drivers side, attached to the frame there is a ig roun "Thing" in a steel frame. Thos round "Thing" sort of seems to be a sort of Harmonic Dampener??? Any clues?? It has not wires, hoses, belts or anything else, it just seems to semi rotate back and forth...???? What is it????

That was the scientific term.
Ford did a really smart thing by putting the oil filter onto of the engine next to the fuel filter. This came from the 6.0L. No more removing the oil filter underneath the vehicle and getting soaked by hot oil.

Actually the 7.3 and 6.0 have the same type of filter under the driveside frame as well. You usually end up wearing all the diesel fuel when you change them. The 6.4 has a nice valve you can open to "Nicely" drain the fuel.
I can hardly wait for my truck to show up so I can check out the new stuff.
