Introduction -

Hey guys, ive been a member on here for about a year. i came to the site not knowing how to do just about anything. i learned how to change my oil grease stuff up. I bought my first diesel truck when i graduated highschool. i didnt know what type of motor it had, what anything ment. luckily i got it from a local guy that has sold cars to my family for years. the truck ran great (2000 f250 7.3) since then ive had 3 trucks, all diesels all the same year. ive come a long way. my last wrenchin story was about 3 months ago when i pulled all my injectors and did a rebuild. springs orings whole kit an kabootle. all my thanks goes to this site. you guys have taught me everything i know.

thanks for accepting me in the PA chapter. I am located in Wyomissing, PA during the school year, and then Schwenksville, PA during the summer.

We welcome you to the PA chapter as well Phil. When you have some time, feel free to stop in the genral chat forum. We usually just chill there and shoot the bull.

Sounds like you've done alot of self teaching with the diesels, congrats! Thats one avenue I haven't gone done yet and tried, other than odds & ends on the my company rig.

Catch you around.
