Need advice before buying
#1
#2
I had done a lot of research before buying my 08, things i found to consider with the 08:
1. What job is it, you can do a search on here to see what the differences in JOBs and how to tell which job you have. so once you see what job you have see which updates are done by having any ford dealership pull the oasis report.
2. DPF filter, has it been removed yet? if so its defiantly some thing you will want to remove.
3. Egr coolers are known to clog and damage the motor, so either replacement upgraded erg cooler or my route erg cooler and erg valve delete.

NP, Jobs simply refer to which run of the 2008 youre truck is:
early production 2008 were job 1, later job 2 last were job 3. With each run improvments were made and if its an earlier job you will wanyt some of the updates.
Job 1
Build dates 01-07 thru 06-07
First builds of the 08's. Lower valence in front on front bumper much shorter than later job builds.
Radiators would leak, most should be replaced under warranty by now. Also there was a recal for a venturi T to be added to keep the radiators from splitting.
TCM, early on it was thought that the transmission control module was a hold up for transmission life, but has sense been fixed by more refined trans tuning
Transmissions,Job 1 was the only model to have an external filter as well as the internal in the pan. some hard part differences like overdrive planetarys but i dont know all the details so hopefully someone can step in a clarify the changes.
Injectors had a recall for hanging open and filling the crankcase full of fuel, VIN specific recall
Job 2
Build dates 07-07 thru 12-07
Second build batches of the 08 model year
Got a bigger valence on the front bumper, said to improve mileage by 1-2 mpg.
TCM part numbers changed. Other small changes were made hopefully more can chime in with more info
Job 3 pretty much anything built in 08 was a job 3
not familiar with all the changes
2009
2009 Job 2 added SYNC.
Last year of 3.73 gears as an option
2010s
3.55s were the highest gear ration selection
