This is definitely where I parked my truck!

Hello all,
Found this place looking for answers for dead batteries in my new (to me)
2000 f350 4×4 dually 7.3. I've found enough info to dig into it now! Too bad there's no easy fix for the tranny in my 96 f350 4×4 7.3 that came apart in the Oregon dunes thanks to the 160cc injectors and stuff. My every day driver is a 2000 jeep TJ 2.5 and the wife drives a 2000gmc Sierra Z71 king cab. So I guess we are all about them 4x4s in this house.

Can't wait to see what else I find here!
Thanks for all the great info!!!!!

Roll on and keep em smokin!*
*The tires that is!

Good morning all. Just joined and wanted to say hello. My first experience with a diesel was in 2007 of December when I purchased a 2008 Super duty F-250 6.4L. Knowing that I have no knowledge how this engine preformed. So far I've replaced the thermostats, and upgraded to the new radiator hoses. Also upgraded to a better reservoir cap. My truck has 81K on it with on trouble until now. I'm showing a code P0652 low voltages. Changed out the paddle sensor so far and still going through the process of finding the problem. Also I installed a Black Max tuner and 5"exhaust.

Howdy All,

Will here. Lurked for a bit and have now joined the discussions. Driven Ford Trucks except for an old cornbinder (IH). Currently have a pair of '06 Super Duty Crew F250s. SWMBO's is a 5.4L 4x4 XLT that is stock except for the 275/R18-75s that I got a screaming deal on. Mine is a 6.0 Fx4 XLT stock with hard torneau. Looking to keep them going for quite a while since I have a habit of keeping vehicles a long time.

Hey all,

Just picked up my first Ford last weekend on Halloween. It's a 1979 F250 Ranger with a lot to do on it. I plan on learning all about trucks with this project and working with my father and father-in-law to get it into driving shape. We got the engine to turn over and run today and the V8 sounds great! I've been lurking on this forum quite a bit over the past few months to figure out if this F250 was something I wanted to get into. Hoping to learn more and contribute back to the community. Cheers!

Hello

Introduction time: My name is Eddie, I live in east Tennessee. Of the 5 vehicles I own the Ford is a 97 f350 DRW 4x2 gasser with the 460/7.5.
I used to own a rod and custom shop and have built dozens off pieces for other people and a few for myself along the way. I don't know if I can be but I'll try to be of any help that I can. Let it be known that I am not a diesel guy and know little about them but gas engines I know very well. Anyway, hello all, nice to meet you.

New to FTE

Hi Everyone,
My name is BIll. I have always love Old Trucks. I recently bought a 1941 For 3/4 toner from a lady in Mo. . The truck was purchased New by her Grand Father and passed to her cousin, the cousin passed away and his wife gave the truck to the lady I bought it from who reluctantly sold it to me only after I assured her I was not going to change anything that I didn't have to. . The truck has matching #'s on the frame and bell housing, either original or period seat, glass, mirror and hubcaps. The numbers on the tires show all to be from 1940 also. (3 hold air) This truck has a PTO built into the transmission and an auger on the passenger side. The seller told me her grand father used the truck to haul wheat and milo. There are 20 leaf springs on each side of the rear axle.
