I plan on doing my own oil changes and fuel filter changes. I'm one to do it ahead of schedule and never go over suggested mileage. What oil are you folks using? I've seen alot suggest the Motorcraft 10-30 diesel. I'm debating this and Rotella T6 5-40 synthetic.

Ran both. I like the full syn. Seems like it takes more miles before for the engine temps to get over 210.

Wally world has the (2) 5 gallon 10w-30 Motorcraft at 17 bucks per gallon (3) more quarts at 3.75 and the FL-2051s motorcraft filter for like 11 bucks use ONLY motorcraft for diesel...they do NOT recommend running anything but the 10w-30 unless u are in some extreme temps

I've seen alot suggest the Motorcraft 10-30 diesel. I'm debating this and Rotella T6 5-40 synthetic. I've been running Amsoil heavy duty 5-40, I've been changing somewhere every 10-25k miles depending on how much I abuse it. If you're running synthetic you should be safe for about 8-10k miles if you aren't maxing out on towing all the time. As far as the pump goes I wouldn't be too worried with it. I have yet to know anyone personally who has had an issue. I have 88k miles on my truck and never had an issue with the pump and I did the deletes on mine so it's pushing more power. Only thing I've struggled with was the lower fuel filter housing. Dumb@$$ at the dealership didn't lube the seal. Ended up having to break the housing off. It wouldn't have been a big deal at the time but I was at the deer lease when it happened and 90 miles from the nearest Ford house.

I sure appreciate all the responses. I really love the power of the truck. It's a 2015 6.7 F250 Crew Cab FX4 with Lariat Ultimate package. With the family pricing, I can get it cheaper than a SLT 6.7 cummins with cloth seats. I don't plan on any modifications except leveling and maybe wheels/tires.

If you level get the carli leveling kit. Full length spring and caster adjustment instead of a block.

Yeah I've looked at their stuff. Very nice looking. It seems very few kits come with caster cams. I think maybe icon. Does Carli include them? If not, I assume they are available for seperate purchase?

Yes icon and carli are probably the best for a none puck style level.
I'm about to order the level backcountry or pintop with full deavers for my 15
Carli has more shock options but is the most money. Mine came with a puck and steering is really loose on it.

I even noticed when test driving the stock F250, the steering feels looser than either ram/chevy. I've been told the superduty come weak on caster and need 1* increase in stock form. If I level, I want to make sure and eliminate that loose feeling.
