First Trip in New to Me F350
I recently picked up a 2006 F350 long bed crew cab diesel to replace my '04 Expedition. I can't get over how much better this is for towing! I just set the cruise at 65 and tick along all day long. ...

Love my 06 F350 also, pulls our 12600 lb fiver like its not even there. Make sure you purchase some type of gauge to monitor your engine coolant temp and engine oil temp. Should not be more than 15 degrees apart driving at highway speed unloaded. I have the Scan Gauge II and really like it. In time you may end up having to replace items like your oil and egr cooler, fan clutch, turbo hoses and possible brake rotors. Just did all of this over the last couple of months and now have a great truck, unfortunately had to spent nearly $3500 to get there. Love my truck and now look forward to years of towing. Good luck, travel on.
Don't need any gauges to inform you have a ECT/EOT temperature problem. The "wrench" light will turn off if the temp delta exceeds 15F.
No light ever came on and my delta was 44°. If I did not have my San Gauge I would hate to see what kind of catastrophic damage I would have caused my engine. $120.00 to possibly save $10000 is a great investment in my opinion.
Is your truck a 05-07 with the latest flash? I know the 03-04 doesn't have this feature.
