Spoiled and didn't know it!

My brother (bless his heart) has a 2001 Dodge 2500 with a V10. He recently was having an issue and asked me to look online for some help. I thought surely there is a decent forum for those guys, but NOOOOOOOO. Nothing even remotely close to this, just a bunch of dryshifters long on name calling and short on anything resembling tech advice.

Just another reminder of what a fantastic resource FTE is.

Maybe that is why I have always come back to Ford and more specifically FTE. The people that love there Fords tend to have a better attitude in life. At least that is what I keep thinking.

Did you try DodgeTalk : Dodge Car Forums, Dodge Truck Forums and Ram Forums - powered by DodgeTalk.com ??? I found that pretty useful a number of years ago. I think I'm still a member. I must agree that this site in untouchable when it comes to the members and knowledge.

I did now. Had to fight my way through the cobwebs in the forum, not much recent activity. Didn't see any topics remotely related, I guess I could start my own topic, but....... Still feeling spoiled.

that forum was pretty good circa 2008. I had a 2005 Durango (whoopsie) and the Durango section helped me out quite a bit. Was a nice bunch of guys/gals.

I logged on there last year to ask a question of the Powerwagon guys.

basically a bunch of idjits running around and saying stupid crap. much like Pirate4x4. There is good knowledge out there, but most of the time it's hard to find with all the drivel.

It's annoying at times, but FTE does a darn good job at keeping that crap out. Props to the Moderators

Go wash your mouth, keyboard, and hands with soap! Not just any soap either, Gojo, Lava, anything strong!

If you choose not to, this will be your fate (Myself at Center, Stewart on the left, and GIGGER on the right):

FTE is KNOWN near, far, and wide as a great technical resource and will continue to be so!
