Time to Split the SD Forum?
I keep looking for info on 2008 and 2009 Super Duty but keep finding tons on the earlier models. Is there anyway we could separate/split the different generations of Super Dutys on this forum?

Well try this https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum169/ if you don't see something start a thread. Are you having issues or wanting to ask something about a gas motor issue?

well considering the 2008 is still the minority here, it makes sense that the pre-08's have more content. The way it's broken down by Superduty here..then by engine below, makes a LOT of sense...esp since a lot of pre 08 and 2008/2009 body and chassis issues are similar.

I don't know the platforms that well-I've never owned one. But that's kind of what I had in mind....

1999.5 was when the truck changed body styles from the old squared up Heavy Duties to the real SD platform that we have now. A LOT of stuff changed, like the frame, axles, body, etc. It was basically a brand new platform. I think the 7.3 IDI was the biggest holdover. The 6.9L IDI was gone by then right?
In 2008, mainly the styling changed with the engine. The 350/450 had some changes on the front axle, but it was in essence the same truck that was there in 2007. Kind of like the 04-05 changes on the front end cosmetics.
Engines change pretty quick though, like the two valve to three valve 5.4s and 6.8s, and the 7.3 IDI to 7.3 turbo to 6.0 to 6.4.
