Newbie Intro

Didn't see anywhere else to post this so I decided I'd post it where I would most frequent.

My name is Brad. I bought a 2011 Ford F-150 Screw Lariat 4wd this weekend after getting tired of having to take my 09 Ram back to the dealer for the same problems over and over. This is my first Ford, although my wife has had a 2005 Expedition we bought used in 06. No problems with it, so thought I'd try my luck.

Hope to enjoy some Ford knowledge and eventually be able to provide some.

Coyote

Thus far really happy. Little overwhelmed by SYNC but I'll get it figured out. Need to try my navigation out to.

Welcome aboard, bipock! You will find that the FTE forums are pretty busy. And while we have some trolls & jokers running around from time to time, there are plenty of very knowledgeable folks donating their time (or shirking their work) to post.


Oh, and remember...

OP, keep us updated on that Coyote motor. I'm dying to hear impressions over the long haul.

Will do on the engine.

I'll get some pics up this weekend - pretty standard white Screw. I was a member of a Dodge forum prior to selling it and they have asked for a head to head comparison , so I'm gonna give it to them with pics.

In the meantime, I've got to find a bedliner.

I've seen color matched spray in and I honestly think that's the way to go if it fits your budget.

Oh! That sounds badass. Thanks for that link, I'll have to start looking in other places beside the 09+ forums.

That sounds pretty familiar. I have a pair of 24" monitors of which I share one between my work laptop and my home/personal computer via a KVM; the other is dedicated to the latter. So, while I putter around doing network design & router configs, I can always bounce over to surf my favorite web sites without having to go through my company's IT network (and their stupid firewalls & web filters).
