Hi again,
First of all, thanks to everyone for helping us decide on a truck. We just bought our new '06 F-350 Lariat Crew Cab with the 4.30 differential. Only drove it 40 miles home yesterday but the wife already loves it. Big relief!!!
OK, in reading the manual it looks like service is required every 7,500 miles and the dealer is, like everyone, trying to intimidate us into every 3,000. Now I've always had service done, on our previous motorhomes and cars, every 5,000 miles and never had any problems at all.
I understand that the regular service is going to be much more expensive on the diesel. I don't want to seem cheap, but money is money. We have the Ford extended, 100,000 mile warranty and I also need to make sure that I don't invalidate that by not doing proper maintenance.
My qestion is, what interval do you think is proper for this truck?
Thanks in advance,
Rich
