Hi, just traded my 08 rubicon in on a 04 F250 v10 6.8, had a lot of fun on the jeep forums, now looking forward to learning and having fun on a new platform. Thanks.

Hello!

Hi! I recently reacquired a 2006 F-150 XLT, that I had purchased for my Dad 5 years ago. It is a wonderful truck that I swear has an angels watching over it, since he drove it through a heart attack and stroke. Unfortunately, due to a nurse giving him the wrong medication, he can no longer drive.


I am the girl who has "turned" every vehicle into a truck, by hauling a ridiculous amount of stuff that shouldn't fit! I am talking about trees sticking out of sunroofs and hay or mulch overflowing every seat but the driver's seat!

I'm a new guy here. Currently bouncing between the area west of Austin, TX and spending most of my time up in the Metroplex. I currently own two 1987 F-250s - one running, one sitting and this website has been quite helpful with various repairs on them.

Just picked up a 69 F250 Ranger Camper Special. Its a 2wd with a fresh 390FE and aT18. The SN indicates a C6 so someone swapped it out along the way. I'm looking for a 4X4 frame to start a ground up build. Gonna be a hoot! PS If you live in Alaska and have a frame let me know.

Hey guys. My name is Jeffrey Lee and I'm brand new to FTE as of about 30 minutes ago. I've been to this site many times but never signed up. I have a 1977 F150 4x4 with a 351m and C6 that I started working on in October. This is my first restoration so I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions. Glad to be apart of FTE! Thanks.

New to me 1966 F250

New here. Joining now that I picked up a 66 F250. It was originally sold in Wichita to Mr and Mrs Ring for $3043.58.

I've done a bunch of poking around prior to my purchase to gain a little insight. Now that I have it, I will be posting again to get some help on the most urgent item.

Hi Everyone,
I've just joined after doing a little lurking around for a while. I just bought a 2014 F250 in December. Its a crew cab, short box, 4x4, with the 6.7 diesel. Its got the 331 rear end. I am just amazed by this truck. I've had Ford diesels before. I had a 2002 with the last of the 7.3s and liked it and a 97 with the 7.3 and liked it. Since those I had a couple of Durmax Chevs. ( 02 and an 04) and 4 Dodges with the Cummins 5.9s.(97, 02, 03, 05) and I liked them also. BUT I love this truck!!I am getting fuel mileage that none of my buddies will believe, and the truck drives and pulls like a dream. I'm looking forward to owning this for a long time( I better because it will take that long to pay for it I'm sure).
I'm looking forward to reading your posts and getting comfortable on this site, and participating.
Marty 304

Howdy all. just recently joined. been finding useful information on the forum for years tho (shoulda joined a long time ago).

I've just ordered my latest super duty...2015 F450.

Upgrading as I have a 5th wheel I got last year, and discovered I was over weight on the current truck when I put both bikes in the toy hauler...ohh well...HAD to upgrade then!!!

I currently have a 2008 F350 DRW. Had a 2007 F250 before then, several F150s through my life...got weak and owned a dodge once...but that only lasted two years and came back the my trusted blue oval!

Look forward to getting my new truck in the next couple of months and making some friends here on FTE.

-- Alex
