Well, here is. My first diesel truck. Thank you for all the advice and info given; but is not over yet.
Now,I understand and i like to stay with the motorcraft brand for oil and fuel filters. What about oil? Rotella? Syn or conventional? (there are no oil leaks so far on this engine).
Repair manuals, haynes manuals? What about a book for the engine?
About the CPS and the 10mm wrench; thanks a bunch. I found one of those sensors behind the rear seat, now i need to carry the wrench.
I am still personalizing the truck, you know, the kid with the new toy.

Do yourself a favor and buy an original Ford CPS and a cheap 10MM wrench and put it in your glove box. You will thank me latter. :B

What engine in that 2-ton, lightning driver? A 7.3 PSD? I'm confused due to the V8 badge on the fender. It can't be the little 5.4L triton can it?
Beautiful rig btw
In the "early 99" model year (the Ford Super Duty trucks built in 1998), the 7.3L PSD badge was fender mounted. Notice how there is no 7.3L Powerstroke badge on the door? That is one way to distinguish an early 99 from a 99.5 7.3L Powerstroke... fender badge versus door badge.
