A little off-shoot from the "What did you do to your 6.0 today?" mega thread.
Very simple idea here, show what you bought for your 6.0 today.

Today was an expensive one for me:
-Upper and lower balljoints, both sides
-Center links
-NUC Oil by-pass filter kit
-Couple bottles of Archoil

Looking forward to posting install photos in the "What did you do to your 6.0 today?" thread.

LV? No SP? I know you can use either.

What gear lube did you get? I used Mobil 1 LS 75w-140. LS for Limited Slip. Friction modifiers included.

I went with red line. That's what my parts house had. Should be good. I only did the rear for now. I may end up dumping it again soon though. It looked really dirty inside and the magnet on the plug had a literal puck stuck to it. My pinion seal is also starting to leak so I wonder if it was getting low. Good news is the gears looked really good. No adverse wear patterns at all.

Gotcha. I have to do the front yet as well.

I did both diffs recently and both were pretty easy. I did upgrade to the newer cover with stainless hardware on the rear, and used Valvoline 75-140 for LS and have had no issues in the past 1K miles. In the front I just used regular Lucas 80-90 and repainted the cover.
What's the new cover? Where did you guys get it?

It's from the 08 model. Aluminum with slight fins. It's a worthwhile mod. Check out sunrise ford parts

For my 2wd 04 I got a DJM 3/5 drop kit, used. And a new set of Toyo ST2 305/45/22 tires. Will b nice to finally get this one sitting low and level. And for my 03 I got a hpop. Gonna see if I can get it running before I swap it for a 7.3 and a 6spd manual.

Picked up new wiper blades. Thought they seemed a little small, so I grabbed the 22" instead of OEM spec 20" blades. Turns out I already had 22" blades and should have got 24" blades. Ohwell.

All my wiper blades are at least 2" longer than the book calls for.

Yes I am. The guy I got it from said he didn't get them back when he went back to stock. Going to get it aligned this morning and see if someone in town has something that will work. It definitely needs it. I'll throw some pics up once it's light outside in the "what did u do today" thread.
And that dually is tucking some tire. I wanted to go all the way down but would need a c notch since it was on the bump stops.
