New to a machine this new, for sure! And I've not done much work on Fords. For years I have been driving and working on Mercedes OM616 and OM617, GM 6.2, and various gasoline powered cars
The truck has a 7.3 with a 6 speed manual, 4WD with locking hubs, PTO for the bucket boom. Starts and runs good, so for now I'm just trying to get up to speed on a machine that is 1.5 decades newer than what I'm used to!
The coolant is green. Should I be worried?
How do I determine what rear axle I have? The B-pillar sticker is starting to peal and that part is not very legible. I can read the springs are XN.
I can see no markings on the hubs to line up to the dot. Is "locked" always the same direction? CW or CCW?
I did not see a fill/level check plug on the side of the transmission. How is the level checked?
The HVAC is stuck on defrost. The electric vacuum pump seems to be creating vacuum. Is there a writeup or diagram on HVAC troubleshooting?
What's the best oil to use? (hehe I had to ask that one!)
I see "OBS" on posts. What does that mean?
