2005 f250 fx4

[rebelman20]

i just bought a 2005 6.0l, reluctantly but i got a good deal. it has 44,000 miles so i ran the vin on oasis and it hasnt been in for any warranty work. i did all the research i could and most owners say the 05s and up are good. what do you guys think and any recommendations on maintanence. i am keeping it stock until the warranty runs out.

Hi,

Change your oil every 4,000 miles and your fuel filters every 10,000 miles. More often if you travel in an area that is sandy or dusty.

Thanks,
Vivian

I agree, take good care of it and it will take care of you!!

[rebelman20]

i will make sure to do that im also thinking of getting the fs2500 oil bypass and when its out of warranty ill do an egr delete. from what ive read thats a good thing to do, i was wondering if anyone knew how much it would be to get arp headstuds installed. thanks this is very helpful.

Welcome to the ORG! Congrats on your new truck! It sounds like you are on the right track.

[rebelman20]

another question, which fuel filter the little one on top of the engine or both of them?

[Evil Eye]

Both get changed at the same time.

les head gasket problems but they still have egr issues occasionally

[rebelman20]

oh,ok. that's fine.

If you don't program it... don't worry about the headgaskets. If they do go... then the dealer should have ZERO issues fixing them.
