New old guy to FTE

Hello and thanks already for help I received on my very first post. Been turning wrenches for 34 years on all sorts of machines, past 16 years on ROV's. Anyway, had many a Ford truck and car over the years, now my latest toy is a 64 F250 4x4 with 292. I live in NH if that's of any interest? LOL. All the best and see ya around the site.

Hi, I'm Sam in West central Florida, and I have a 2011 F150 Ecoboost I bought new and mostly only use for towing a fifth wheel camper weighing 10,000. I have some concerns about rear end sag when the camper is on the pin.

Hello: I just put our 1990 Ford BroncoII in for a complete inspection (it was not running) and I got a lot of bad news. We love the truck and think we want to authorize the work, but we would prefer to give it to a Ford Truck
expert in our area (Northern NJ). Does anyone know of a good mechanic who knows (and appreciates) the Bronco II?

Thanks,

Tom

I'm Logan, 32 years old and I operate a landscape design and build business in Victoria, BC. I own a '08 F350 and a 99 F550. Just got the F550 so can't comment much but my 350, which is my first super duty, is an absolute monster. Completely stock, sometimes I load it right to the rails with aggregates and you can barely notice. The loader operators at the cities municipal gravel yard are constantly telling me that no other truck in town can haul like mine, not sure what the secret is but Im not asking questions. I'll tow a 14' steel dump trailer and scale in at 13,000 lbs on a regular basis, the truck is unfazed. I have owned it for 10 months now and it still impresses me every time I put it to work, love it! I'm completely sold on Super Duties and with the purchase of the 550 have committed to Ford as my fleet vehicle of choice.

Looking forward to picking the brains of some members here for tech issues and hauling tips.

hi

Hello everyone, found this site while looking for info on my new Toy, I traded a 1983 mustang gt for a 1978 f150 custom 4x4, stepside short box with a 4 inch body lift on 33x12.5 15's, and a 400ci v8, 4 on the floor. I hope I don't ask to many questions as i work on it and fix it up

Just joined this forum, just bought a 2003 F-250 King Ranch. Nice truck, really like it. reading some of these posts makes me think twice. Truck is running good, has 143,571 mi. And now I can read future posts to educate myself on the new ride.

Hey guys, not new to Fords but back owning one, I've always wanted a Navigator and now with the wife expecting we decided it would be an amazing family truck, especially at the price you can get them these days, so we just bought a 2006 Lincoln Navigator Luxury fully loaded





Excited to join this great forum and hopefully contribute as much as I can.
