Dang Jerrod that looks sweeeet! The whole rig looks very level. Is that a cut to fit teflon lube plate on your B & W? Where did you get that? I must have one. LOL :)

Now that I have enough miles on the truck, I finally hooked up the Bighorn. With the B&W Companion hitch on the highest setting, the fifth wheel is level and I have about 8" of bed rail clearance.

This truck really is nice. Lots of power, smooth, quiet, very comfortable. It pulls the Bighorn very nicely.

If your going to use it have the dealer order you a gallon. I used it religiously on my first 6.7 and had no problems. On my 2015 F350 dually I did not. Had the high pressure fuel pump internally come apart at 22,300 miles, ouch. It was covered under warranty but if it had not been covered it would have been a 8.5k repair. I am back to using it every fill up.

Wasn't water or DEF in the fuel. I got a reduced power message and took to the dealer. Ford is very tight with approving this type of warranty repair. The whole top of the engine was disassembled and pictures were taken of the internals of the HPFP and samples of fuel were taken from the tank. They were looking for white crystals (DEF) or rust (water). Be sure to take a sample of fuel from the frame mounted fuel filter monthly. Use a quart glass jar and let the sample settle overnight. I always keep my fuel receipts, they had a rash of water in diesel around here, Baton Rouge area. Some folks went back on the station and had their repair cost picked up by the
distributer.

I run Optilube XPD in every tank. It beats the Ford stuff (and most if not all other brands) hands down for fuel system lubrication.

I agree there are prob better options...but when dealing with ford and their warranty brigade its best to stick with motorcraft parts and fluids... the only thing that I ran not ford while I was under warranty was the oil (rotella t6)and my intake/air filter (s&b)
