new to me truck

[tenpack]

hey guys,

just bought a 2000 f-350 standard cab 6 speed 4x4 srw truck to replace my just sold 97 cc long box 7.3l.Before i even had the truck in my possession i had a 4'' SS magnaflow turbo back exhaust and a afe stage 2 intake.

i got a couple questions:

Anyone kow what size bolts hold down the bed?

Are the HPX and regulated returns worth purchasing for smoothing the engine out?

Last, at what temp does the air intake heater(not glow plugs) begin to work?

THanks, pics coming soon

Bed bolts are T45 or T48, I forget which.

what size: legnth and thread and pitch? The reason im asking is it got sold to be as a cab and chassis. It was used for hauling dynamite and the previous owner took the HD lockbox off to put on his new truck.

if you go to the stealership they will know and you can get them there.

Bed bolt are T-55. Don't know the thread, they go into special clips you get from the dealer. You're not going to be able to bolt on a normal bed without some modifications...

the clips are still there just got some crap in em so i wanted to chase them out.

Found a box today just gotta pick it up from the seller and bring it to the body shop.

The clips are blank... no threads in them. The bolts are self tapping.
