just another intro...

Hey. My name is Jason and I live in Laguna Beach with my wife. We have a 94 Ford F-150 Long bed that seems to be falling apart around us but Im not letting it go. A week before xmas the lower radiator hose blew 2 weeks later the original ford blue water pump went out with 200,000 miles on it, then 4 days later the timeing chain gasket then the next day the thermostat housing gasket... Then last week the radiator itself started leaking. Thank God for Stop Leak. Its been fun working on it but it would be really nice to get a break from repairs financially. Weve done all the work our selves my wife a self proclaimed grease monkey and so am I. Hoping to get to know a few of you and to learn alot more about Fords. Thanks for being here FTE.

Hi Jason, welcome to the SoCal Chapter. At least those are relatively minor repairs, though it gets old when they come at you one after the other.
