If you want to see the service/repair records that Ford has done, ask your dealer for an Oasis Report. Give them the VIN and they can get it for you. No charge in most cases. Oh and

Hello AlexG21 and Welcome to SSD.com. I have a F-350 06 and I am still in love with it.
Only 45.000 wow, that's like a new truck. Post a picture or two of the truck, and
come back often.

Welcome
With low miles get a coolant filter on ASAP http://www.dieselsite.com/2003-200760lcoolantfiltrationsystem-preservethelifeofyourwaterpump.aspx
to remove the casting sand before it screws up the oil cooler, get some gauges like the Edge Insight CTS to check ECT-EOT then if it looks good max is 15* difference do a coolant flush ditch the Ford Gold coolant and install a ELC coolant Cat EC-1 Rated and get a fuel pressure gauge because pressure under 45lbs at WOT will kill injectors if low install the new reg kit from Ford and only use Ford filters and a good Syn oil 5w40 and max on the oil is 5000 miles because of the shear of the oil by the injectors.

Here is the only picture i have of the truck so far. but i will get more.
So far I'm in love with this truck. I know there are some known issues to take care of. My girls dad has the same truck so I've heard of some of the things to look for. First thing on my to do list is definitely the Edge tuning chip for performance and gauges. After that the sky is the limit
