New To Fords and Diesels - Need Tips!

[jkmola]

Hoss - thanks! Those are some of the neat "little" things that are common knowledge to many of you, but I could never come up with in a million years. We do not about the CPS, and one is going in the glove box very soon.

I had no idea about the SCA; appreciate the tip and that will now be put on the "short list" as well.

Fuel filter change at between 15 to 30K - got it.

Drain separator every other oil change - check.

We're pickin out gauges now - soon to be ordered. Looks like an AFe intake is gonna be on the same list. Meanwhile, we will be tackling all the little freebies that we found on this site. Thanks again to all - really appreciate it.

So what are the thoughts about the Juice box by the Edge? It has guages built in. Would that not be a good place to start if you kept the mapping reasonable???

I'm just looking to so minor mods for abit more juice - I don't want to get complicated at all.

Something that needs to be mentioned, is that the SCA only applies if your truck has green coolant. If you have the gold coolant, it is maintianence free, and never needs the SCA additive.

There is also a way to convert from green to gold.

Hmmmmmm, that's interesting. I don't honestly know what's in there right now. Will have to give a look-see. So if it is green - just what might you have to do to convert to the gold? Is it more than just a flush-n-fill? (as I scramble for the search button!)
