gas or diesel?
Diesel. If I could have gotten a V10 gasser, 4.30 gears and a 6spd manual tranny, I would have likely done that.
You are going to love the 6.7 and the tranny it is mated to. I find myself using the manual gear selector all the time in the hills. You do get to select which out of the 6 to use vs D, 1. 2. 3
On DEF when the light says under half full it will take almost a full cube to top it off. I go through about 2 in a normal year more if we are taking 2-3 thousand mile trips
at about 9000 miles you get a check coolant light. it wants you to use a test strip to check on the anti corrosion additive. You can reset the remider to another 9000 in the settings selection on the dash. You can also buy refresher from the net (motorcraft) for $19 that will give you another 30,000 miles out of your coolant once you get to the point that the test strips indicate the anti corrosion additive is weak.
