Just got my first PSD!!!

Like the title states: 02 ford ccsb 4x4, just turned 47000 miles. Im an ex Duramax owner! Please dont hold that against me LOL. Anyway's im gonna be lurking quite a bit on this forum trying to learn the terminology the Ford guys use. Completly clueless. BTW my Ford compared to my Duramaxes 02, and 06. is night and day. Love the straight axle in front. Just seems like a really stout truck. I'll get pics up one of these days. Thanks for everyone's time!!!!

Congrats and Welcome aboard. The only thing we ask is that you check in here first before taking your baby to the dealer or some rinky dink shop.. FTE has a bunch of knowledgeable,fun and friendly bunch of folks.

Come to think of it. I wanted to bring this up.. We should start a sticky on the $ that has been saved by FTE Vs taking it to the shop. I bet it is BoooKooo Buckers !.

Just saved a bundle by doing o rings on my injectors myself. Stealership probably would have thrown new sticks in. I knew nothing when I first came to FTE. never would have attempted the fix before.

Welcome to the best forum on the net!

You got yourself a great truck. Where are you located? Maybe if you are close to one of the other guys here, you could hook up with them for a title GTG.

if you wanted to get a nice pickup truck, that would last you a long time, you have done the smartest thing possible.

Thank you everyone for your replies. This is a really great forum compared to sum of the Duramax forums i was on. Every one seems really laid back and down to earth, not to mention willing to help if the need arises. I really appreciate it, and im honored to be welcomed in to Ford brotherhood of truck ownership.
