Welcome to the forum.

I had an 02 with a 360, not sure what your friend means by special fluids.

Other than the factory LSD if you have it, doesn't like synthetic gear oil. Use conventional and add the friction modifier.

Oh if you change plugs and wires pay attention to wire routing, there's a tab with a diagram. Some trucks will get a random misfire if you don't do that routing in a tsb.

Welcome! Special because of the LPG? The only thing that's really different is that your engine oil will stay clean for a lot longer since LPG is so much cleaner burning that gasoline. What's the price of LPG there vs gas/petrol? Is t that much cheaper?

Lpg is around 0.61pence per litre where as petrol is around the 127 pence per litre mark
