General Maintenance & Care

New to the forum and a new owner of a '02 F-250 7.3L. This being my first diesel, I'm looking for a manual/documentation for the general care and maintenance of a 7.3L diesel. All advise, links, thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...CHIP

Welcome to FTE!! And to the 7.3 world... You're going to love your truck, and the folks here will help you out with any issues you might have. If you need manuals and such, go here:
http://www.genuineservice.com/genuin...e&nav=glovebox

Contrary to what you might hear from some folks, these trucks are easy & not that expensive to maintain. Guzzle's page is invaluable, and another site that is currently down is also excellent. It's supposed to be back up soon, so keep watching:

Can't offer any better links or info than anything that the other guys have posted up for you but I would like to say welcome to FTE and especially the 7.3 Mighty Diesel forum. Glad to have you as part of the group.
