Just got my first 6.0
Just got a 2003 250 yesterday, what should I do tO make sure it's not gonna explode on me. It's got 150,xxx miles on it and sOunds like a dream. What should I look for as indicators something is wrong? I did replace the air filter today. The guy I bought it from was the only owner and said he's babies it. Where should I start with the maintanance chEcks?

Re: Just got my first 6.0
just got back from the shop, mech. says ball joints need replacing, and Im gonna havem put new fuel filters in and give it an oil change just so i have a start point for my maint. records. At least theres nothing too bad to report.
I am looking for a good programmer to give me better milage and a little more power. Any suggestions?

I personally recommend our tuning with an SCT device

SCT hands down. Lots of different people to do the tuning, Patrick being one.
Patrick, do you do the tuning personally?
