Back in the saddle!!

Its been over a year since ive had my own diesel to play with...Im finally back in!!! Wrapped my fingers on an '04 F-350 XLT CC LWB 124k. Its actually going to get here next week, but was to excited not to post! Anyway Im curious on what I should do, maintenence wise, once it gets here. Other than change out all the fluids, what else should I do? Also, I dont know what kind of oil its been getting. Should I start now with Syn's?? Or stick with dynos? Any perticular weights/brands for these miles? What about Syn's for other fluids??

TIA

Ill get pics up once it gets here...BIG red truck...small lift, nice wheels.

Anticipation....man it would drive my wife nuts if I had to wait for the delivery! Congrats...yes, you know we wanna see pictures!

I use plain old Motorcraft oil in mine. It's inexpensive and since we're changing oil every 5K it's the logical choice. Don't forget filters!
