Hi all! Just looking at the subject, you can tell I've been reading many of your posts already! Many years ago, I drove a Mack Maxidyne 18 wheeler, but then went into the Air Force. In the AF, I would go out, drive their rig, and when returning, give it back to the mechanics . . . so got very little exposure to maintaining. But now I have the truck in the subject line (I just bought it, with 55,600 miles on it - really cherry, and built in 06/99 so it's a 99 1/2 too!). I can also recognize a truck 3 out of 5 times, so I fugure I better introduce myself. "Golfecho" is the two words in military parlance for my initials - GE. So, that is what I use, but everyone can just call me Gordie if you like. I'm glad to be here, and hope to learn a lot! I have a few questions already, but will post them as needed in the appropriate thread areas . . . Thanks all!

 

Hi Gordie and welcome to FTE, sounds like you scored a mint ride!
Be sure to introduce yourself in the your FTE chapter too: Georgia Chapter - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

 

GE, how long have you been in? I joined in 2005 and I'm currently stationed in Seymour Johnson NC. I thought I found a gem with 92k miles but what you found is about as good as it's gonna get with 55k miles. Congrats bud, that's a ridiculous find. I bought mine last Friday and absolutely love it.

 

 

Welcome aboard!
