Tune up /maintanance

Besides changing the oil & fuel filter at the recommended intervals, tire rotation,& checking fluids, what other tune up items are needed to keep pur 7.3 PSD running strong?? This is my 1st diesel . I have ordered extra CPS's to keep handy just in case.


Thanks,

Osk

Air filter is important also, and running a diesel fuel additive is a good move also in my opinion

Not sure how many miles you have, but you could change out the tranny(i think every 30k), transfer case(if equipped) differentials, brake fluid(every 3 yrs?) Could do a DIY intake (not sure what you have) or check the air filter every 10k or 15k. +1 on a good fuel additive.

If you have over 100k miles, you need to look into your Diesel fuel filter and also draining your water/diesel separator bowl.
