I just bought my first ford. Its a 05 f250 with auto trans. and 6.0, I has a banks air intake and banks exhaust on it. What are the first mods you would recommend? I pull a travel trailer and horse trailer regularly. Thanks

I would also replace all the fluids and filters.. Coolant flush every 50K will keep your oil cooler from clogging.. 6.0's require a good quailty oil at all times.. Low fuel pressure is also an injector killer.. An upgraded FPR kit from Ford ($72.00) will help your injectors last..

What is an fpr kit?

Fuel pressure regulator kit.. The kit has a stiffer spring that will keep fuel in the low to mid 60's at idle and mid 50's wide open throttle.. There are three things that kill 6.0 injectors.

1.) Water
2.) Low fuel pressure
3.) poor oil quality and long change intervals

Upgrade the FPR kit, change your oil every 5K, and drain your water seperator at every oil change.. Also use Motorcraft filters.. I replace my fuel filters every other oil change..
