Well I finally got tired of putting a ton of miles on my 05 6.0 4x4 Excursion and found a 1990 2wd 7.3 extra cab with 200k on it. The main reason that I purchased it was to be able to works on it and save the Ex for trips.
I am looking for fluids and amounts to use and any information on what to look for. It has been sitting for a good 8 months but started and drove home.
Now I need to do a full service on it to set me at ease on the road. I drive an average 20 miles each way to work.

For the transmission you will need a Mercron spec. ATFfluid, the axles will need 80w90 gear oil or similar. If you have a LSD diff you will need the additive as well.
For the cooling system make sure you add a anti-cavitation additive.
