So what do you guts to to keep them running like new?

Oil Change. Synthetic or Motorcraft?
Trans Fluid. Keep it for life or swap every 10k?
Diff Fluid. Never touch or swap every 10k?
Air filer. Keep it stock or go after market?
EGR. Keep it or dump it?

Sorry for the silly questions, I'm a noob to this truck but I want to make sure shes running right.

I switched over to Syn oil. Runs much quieter and smoother. I have to keep all of the smog stuff. Keep the stock air filter, it is good for 500 HP. There is a schedule for the fluids in your truck. Don't worry about silly questions, you need to know.

I change my oil & filter every 5k and fuel filter every 15k. Everything else by schedule in owners manual as well. I do my own oil & filter and fuel filter changes to insure that it is done properly. I also use Walmart TCW3 in with my fuel to help lubricate thru the fuel.
