10,000mi and all is well

Just hit the 10K mark and haven't had a single issue with my truck. Still getting 13mpg around town. No worse then my 06 F-150 which also got 13mpg but weighed half as much as the F-250. Going to the dealer for oil&filters next week and I don't have anything to bitch to them about.

Congrats Nipperdog. The attitude of your remarks sounds like you are pretty happy with your 08. I just passed the 14,000 mile mark and have not had any troubles either. I am seeing 15.8 - 16.2 on my miles per gallon, which I am not elated about but appears to be getting better as mileage increases.
Will take the ole girl in next week also for diesel filters and overall check up.

How much do you expect to pay for the 10,000 mile service at the dealer?

Nearly at 10K myself- had the dealer change the oil at 4K (first one free) and I just did it with the new Mobil 1 Delvac 5-40 myself. Very easy with so much ground clearance! No issues either- very happy with the beast!

37,000 on mine, only issues so far is the rear fender marker lights keep popping out. The radiator came apart, and i'm leaking oil from the gearotor (sp). Besides those minor issues, it's kicking *** all over the place
