Congrats!
How much did you have to give for that truck? If you don't mind my asking.

Looks really nice, congratulations. Syn oil really helps on cold start ups. I like that grill, can you get more pics?

Beutiful truck dude! and beautiful weather too! The PSD's will take a little longer to start than the old mechanical fuel injected 7.3 simiply because they have to build up oil pressure in the high pressure oil system to fire the injectors. So if its taking 2-3 seconds to start. . . thats pretty normal.

You are gonna love your new truck.
Because of suggestions here I changed to Rotella 5-40 synthetic last week, the difference is amazing. My truck would start at 0 degrees F., I just don't like to hear electrical and other parts working that hard. The syn made cold starts almost like warm starts.
