Here I am! - FL

I'm a retired RV full timer who pulls a 14,000# fifth wheel around these United States of America. My wife and I have a 2005 Ford F350 6.0 Diesel Lariat. We've also had Ford cars - and loved them. Take care of them, they take care of you. I'm looking forward to learning a lot, here, about the first used truck I've ever bought. At one point several years ago, I was an 18 wheel driver. During those years I only had to drive - the owners maintained them unless something happened on the road, which was very rare, and limited to flat tires, frozen fuel lines and bad exhaust. All are easy fixes, if inconvenient. Now I'm the owner, and learning big time.

Here's a place to get all the info you'll ever need on the 6.0 and it's simple but very important maintenance procedures, and anything else you would like to know:
