Welcome to FTE. Take time to read the Tech Folder. When you get ready for A LOT more information, post an email address at the end of the thread at the link below:

You will wonder where all your spare time went .....

Welcome to FTE!

Take some time and read through the 6.0 Tech Folder sticky thread at the top of this forum. There's a whole lot of great info in there. After you've posted 25 times you can make a signature line with your name (if you choose) and info about your truck. This helps us help you if/when you have questions.

How many miles are on your truck? Do you tow? Is it 4x4? We need information!

Dang Mark... you're one fast typist!

Welcome ED. Ditto to what the other posters have said.

In addition, take time to read the owner's manual, especially the service interval section. Stay on top of your maintenance and perform maintenance when the manual indicates (if not sooner). Take care of your 6.0 and it will take care of you. Ignore your 6.0 and ....... Well we don't want to go there.

Haven't heard that saying much except in Louis L'Amour stories.

Welcome to the forum and I'm sure pretty soon you'll realize that not only is this site additive, but once you start get going accessorizing the ole girl you'll find that not only addictive, but costly as well because you'll be doing so much of it. You don't think so now(neither did I), but trust me once the bug gets you that's all she wrote.
