Boy that was a surprise, how different it behaves over our F150 which we traded in. Doing a U-turn was a learning experience in it itself. It's a F350 SRW 6.7L Lariat FWD. It's also odd looking down on other pickups...heh. I notice that the death wish teenie car drivers get very nervous seeing the bottom of the radiator in the rear view. The start peddling a lot faster....heh.

If anyone is using the Motorcraft PM22a where are you getting it, other than the Ford dealer. I spent a looong time waiting in the parts shop before being told that they were out. Amazon doesn't seem to have it, nor any of the auto parts places that I checked on line.

Incidentally they did not have me sign that Ford diesel bulletin. We got the Ford installed tonneau cover and it turns out to be a Truxedo with a 5 year warranty.

I need to get Tweetys to send me a B&W Companion OEM next week.

Congrats on the new truck...someone wrote somewhere that the PM22A is available at dieselfiltersonline...but not in gallons... funny thing...dealers are selling out of the additive...too bad Ford will not just eliminate the need for it...

I thought the additive was to compensate for lousy fuel? Hope you like your new truck. Have a build going on myself now for a F450 CC should be here by end of month.

Congrats on your new truck. Ford dealer in Ocala told me they sell the PM22A in a gallon size. Not sure of the cost yet, but should save some money.
