Glad you got a powerstroke, my truck was my hobby before I got into the JD’s. Below is my signature on the powerstroke forums with my truck mods. If you ever need any help with it I can point you in the right place. I’m not much on the 94-97’s but lots of stuff is similar to 99-03 and I know folks who are familiar with them.
My advice would be to check the air intake, if it has the factory severe duty intake then your okay, just keep it clean and watch for dust leaks. If it doesn’t have the special intake then do a DIY intake for about $40. The regular factory intake can and will leak dust and a new engine can cost around $10,000, it cost me $4,000 just for parts to rebuild mine.
Advice number to is to get gauges, at least a tranny temp gauge and don’t let the tranny get over 180*. Most likely you will need to add a second cooler. I like the Trucool 40K, its about $120. If you keep it cool the tranny will last, if not it will fry over time, especially if you tow with it.
Clean fuel is important too, those injectors are around $250 each.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
