Hello all!!! The name is Scott. Just thought I would say hi. Have browsed this site for a few awhile now. Recently purchased a 96 f250 with a 460 and have used this site to learn as I go. These were the first thing I replaced on my new/old truck. I would say they were shot. Been tinker now for a couple weeks and having the time of my life fixing, replacing and getting my hands dirty. Anyways hello all and I hope I can pick some brains on here on occasion.

Thanks guys, good to be here and learn as I go.

Here is my pickup. So far I have replaced shocks, Cut the horns out of the intake, door hinge pins, plugs, wires, water pump, and removed the old bubble tint. Its currently getting a new clutch put in. Going to replace to do the 6.0 tune up this weekend by adjusting the timing, cap and rotor. Also have a robert shaw thermostat to put in. Also getting rid of the old carpet, and putting some dynamat down and some new vinyl flooring. Pretty solid truck for having a 188k on the clock. Have lots more to do to it such as exhaust, wheels and tires, maybe paint and a flatbed.

It will spend its life pulling as my job takes me all over the North West. So its got the task of pulling my travel trailer. Doesn't pull it as good as the diesel I got rid of but it pulls it as fast as I need to go.
