2000 F250 SuperCab SD Diesel

I have 102000 on my 2kPSD.The only real issues were front brakes. I'm on my third set of rotors and pads. Rotors warped badly and turning just makes it worse.On the other hand ,the rear pads are original.Transmissions were weak if you towed w/o a big cooler.Ive run Amzoil synthetic in the motor,trans, and difs since new and not had problems.Trans problems were related to heat and in 99 and early 200o, ,converter vanes that came loose.The converter vanes always fell apart by 40k or so miles if they were going to. Later models have brazed vanes.The non greaseable u-joints went away at 60k, but thats not bad.Ball joints were loose and the wander showed up at 70k,I put greaseable replacements in. Warning!, if you cant do the ball joints yourself, be prepared to spend about $1000 on this repair.
Overall its been a good unit,considering the use Ive given it.

YOOPERPETE, The driveshaft joints are easy, the ball joints do require a special toolto reinstall the seals on the spindle.I borrowed it from a friend who is the parts manager at a dealership. I also put ggreasable u joints in the front half shafts, they were ok, but I didnt want to have to tear it down again in a year just for the joints,since I'm hopeing the greasable ball joints will last 100k or so.I also drilled the driveshaft slip yoke for a zerk, the spline was dry and rusty.The secnd time around I went with the cheap chineese rotors [$39]. They are still on and dont pulse a bit !I also found that the Wagner "Thermo-Quiet" pads dont heat soak the rotors as bad and are totally quiet.
