Newb from Wa state

Hello all, great site. Long time lurker here, finally decided to join. Currently driving 2003 F150 Heritage Ed. Scab, short box, 4x4, 5.4, 3:55 gears. 150k on the ticker and it has been flawless. Nothing, and I mean nothing has gone wrong with it, and I don 't baby it. It's been through three travel trailers, hunting, and fishing trips, hauled the usual gravel/bark/whatever that a homeowner will do. I installed a SCT 91 octane towing tune almost from day one, and run Motorcraft oil and filter. Current trailer in pic below is a bit heavy for it though, so there is a 6.2 Super Duty in my future. Hopefully within a year. Hence the 6.2 threads have held most of my interest lately. Not interested in diesel, but I hope they up the HP/Tq for the next model year. I drive a 2009 Fusion for commuting now so my truck gets maybe 5K miles a year max. Previous trucks I've owned and loved include; 65 F150, 78 F250, 87 Bronco, 90 F250. Looking forward to participating and learning here. Happy Trails,

Carl
