Maintenance

He guys, I am kind of new to this group. I have a 2000 F250 7.3 2 wheel drive with 125k miles on it. What are some of the things that I should be doing as far as maintenance goes. I am new to the Diesel world so your help is greatly appreciated. I have changed the fuel and air filter, is there other things I should be checking on.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Thanks<o></o>

chiz501, Welcome to the show! If it's new to you, change the oil because you really have no idea what they might have used.

Welcome Chriz501

It has all been covered at least three times here on the forum before, please do not let that discourage you from asking questions. That is whats great about this forum, friendly people that will share information with you just cause they like to talk about their trucks.
