Welcome to DTR!
Fleetguard Stratapore filters are highly recommended. One of the best places to get Fleetguard filters is www.genosgarage.com.
Coolant would be Zerex G-05.

Hopefully it's a later build 03 with the HO and the 48re trans. Some early 03's still had the ETC with the 47re tranny.

MDM,

Welcome and congrats on your new (to you) truck! I agree with MikeyB on the Fleetguard Stratapore filters. If you have a Cummins place somewhat close by, I think they are very reasonable on the cost of the filters. I know they are a whole lot cheaper than Fords. Good luck with the truck. You will find a wealth of info on this forum. I am still a newby but im getting educated on some things real fast.

I agree with MikeyB.....Geno's also sells filter kits that include both oil and fuel filters....I have a few on the shelf in the garage at the ready.
