My first diesel!!!!

I got my first diesel a few days ago. It's a F250 Crewcab 4x4 7.3L with 200,000 miles on it. I work with ole Franko72 so I can divert all my dumb questions at him. Hoping to learn a lot about these engines...still kinda intimidated by them.

Welcome Congratulations We heard you might be stopping by. Frank seems like a good guy, hopefully he guides you right, don't follow his path on getting rebuilt transmissions, LOL. Just go straight to the BTS first.

Welcome to the forum. There's a whole lot of knowledge here and a whole lot of humility as well. Not many questions would be considered "dumb" here.

Don't be intimidated, they are really not that hard to work on once you learn your way around them. And you can still work on it because there isn't a bunch of emissions crap in the way.

And I believe this is the guy Franko was telling me about who wanted to buy a Dodge. Look at how much he has already learned!

Welcome!

Nice grill. It goes great with the rest of that purty truck.

When Frank is not looking steal his mirrors and put yours on his truck.

That would be one of the first up grades to do.... New mirrors that telescope out.
