Don't get any drops on your driveway. It's a pain to clean up.I changed the oil in my first diesel 1 time 14 years ago 15 qts of oil. That was enough for me I was only saving $20.00 and stuck with all that oil. I have the Ford dealer change mine it helps with warranty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Glad you guys are having good luck with the 6.7. I'm looking for a new 450 in driveway around February. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Glad you guys are having good luck with the 6.7. I'm looking for a new 450 in driveway around February.You will love the power from the 6.7 over the 6.0 and now the 6.7 has 40 h.p. more then mine. If the rumors on the net are true I will be trading mine in in 2016 for the Ford version of the megacab. Do you really need a 450 to pull your toy hauler? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 No, I don't need a 450, but I do like the decreased turning radius. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helmsey......Todd 134 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 No, I don't need a 450, but I do like the decreased turning radius. That is one of the things I LOVE about mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LONE-STAR 370 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Now that the 450 has 19.5 wheels again I would consider one. Its what I really needed to pull our old toy hauler. But our new toy hauler is a lot lighter then our old one. And our f-350 srw does just fine with our current trailer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But our new toy hauler is a lot lighter then our old one. And our f-350 srw does just fine with our current trailer. I'm wondering if the new 19.5's will fit the 450's (like mine) that have the 17" wheels on them. I will be looking into that at some point soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 My 99 450 has 10 lug 19.5's. I'm pretty sure the new ones are 10 lug too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
