howdy yall

Been a member for a while and have owned many Fords over the years but finally getting a chance to own my first Super Duty.

my list includes:
1982 FSB 6cyl, 4 spd manual
1994 FSB 302, auto
1996 FSB 351, auto
1989 FSB 302, auto
1999 Expedition, 5.4, auto
2002 Expedition, 4.6, auto (currently, wife's driver)
1999 (i think) E-150, 5.4, auto
1994 F-250, PSD, manual, 4x4
and now, a Y2K F-250SD, V-10, auto 4x4

it was a bank repo. 132k miles. 8' bed and supercab with suicide doors. Lariat. i LOVE IT! it needs a little TLC, but not too bad considering its age. dropped it off at the shop today for a tune up and mechanic said he found a leak on the front of the transmission he thinks is a pressure pump seal or something like that. that, new belt, plugs and boots, and hopefully it will be golden. i got a programmer from a buddy and gotta get it reprogrammed for my year model (his was a 02 Excusion), but i am digging it!

only pic i have at the moment.
