Service is also a highlight of the 2003 Ford Super Duty. The oil filter is on top of the engine next to the fuel filter and with the new automatic transmission filter below the engine, you don’t have to go deep for much of maintenance on the truck. The all-new air filter is still disposable, but it’s much larger to accommodate the increased air needs of this more powerful diesel and increased air volume turbo. The air filter is made of a composite material and is permanently attached to the plastic casing. So you don’t have to take a filter out of the air box, you replace the whole air box.
The new automatic transmission filter is near the front of the engine next to the frame.

All new composite high volume air filter.
The new 2003 Ford Super Duty has the same C-channel frame as previous models. And I hope they keep it. A high percentage of these trucks will be attached to trailers and have accessories added to them. Trailer hitches attach to the frame and can be difficult with hydroformed frames.
