hi everyone

just purchased a f350 2005 crew cab diesel from Texas
has 191,000 miles
paid 16,000

truck is loaded and is very clean....

first thing i did was get it rust checked ... we use Krown in Canada
with a texas truck the body is in great shape...like new under neath


I installed an S&B air filter kit from the power shop

I changed the front and rear diff fliud
I changed the oil and filter
I changed both fuel filters


Tomorrow i am changing the tranny fliud and both filters


i am really happy with the truck and currently getting 15.8 miles per gallon

 

welcome to diesel bombers the#1 site around hope you enjoy the new rig

 

welcome to DB and i'm gonna tell ya 2 words about your 6 litre HEAD STUDS

 

are they that bad?

When do they go (head studs) ?

do they go because of the chip kits?

Too hard on the head?

I do not plan to do any more engine mods other than the SB air kit i installed...

I installed the air kit to keep dirt out and inprove air flow ..lowering the egt

 

I've seen completely stock trucks blow head gaskets at 25,000 miles while a suped up 6.0 didn't blow till 100,000 miles.

I blew mine at 60,000 towing a trailer with no tuner.

 

i changed the transmision remote filter...it was very dirty

i changed the pan filter and gasket from nappa

i put in 8 liters of mercon sp

i bought 9 litres , kept one for a spare

there was some dirt on the drain magnet....

I am glad i changed both filters and oil with 191,000 miles

Now i have changed all the fliuds except for power steering and coolant...

The rad was changed last year and the coolant looks clean (green)

 

good job! Our trucks appreciate being taken care of like that!

 

The only tuner I would run on a 6.0 is a SCT.
