Hello all. I recently bought a 2011 f350 xlt 4x4. I opted for the extended warranty through ford. Not sure if that was a good idea or not but being an early build it’s a good piece of mind. Truck has 31000 miles on it. Previous owner just hauled their camper. Older couple had it. Has a goose neck hide away hitch and I plan to haul with the truck. Firewood and my 7.3 to the drag strips and truck pulls. These trucks pull wayyyyyyy better than a chipped 7.3. Unbelievable difference.
Someone fill me in on the 6.7 I’ve always had 7.3’s and the 6.7 is a different animal. What is important to keep an eye on, what mods should be done (besides tune and delet because of warranty even though it’s killing me not to del ete this thing).
Fuel filters, how many miles does everyone go on them and how often should the water seperator be drained?
Oil is nice from the old 7.3’s via computer keeps track of that but I plan to run motorcraft oil till warranty is out then Id like to switch to rotella. Personal preference.
Transmission, how many miles should the fluid and filters be replaced on these?
And finally. I would like to level the truck. Anyone know of the best kit to level these? Seen some on eBay for 70$. Just a spacer block on top of the coil. Recently lifted my friends 11 with a 2.5 block in the front and I’m unsure of what we put for the rear lift of block size.
Thanks!
