Hello SoCal

Hi Everyone thanks for having me as a member of the SoCal group. I bought a 2000 PSD a few weeks ago and have not used it much until I took a road trip last week to our property in UT. The beast performed perfectly. I've done a few things to get her more to my liking, restored power lock function, threw away aftermarket alarm, added KC day-lighters. its 13 years old with 220K miles on it and virtual every thing works including the SOTF! These boards are great, I never would have though I could restore the over head computer but the boards provided the info and I followed it, score! Just posted in the main Superduty boards about my trip and though my truck was potentialy detonating, there is a long list of people who like me were worried but turns out this is just the way the 7.3 is. What a great fourm.

I'm not the guy with all the mods my truck is all stock and that is the way I like it - I hope we can still be friends

Cheers,

T

That should seriously be your signature. Awesome way of putting it.

Welcome to the group, and "Hello" back at 'ya.

Glad your trip went well! But then again, isn't that why you bought a FORD!?!?!? .

Keep on truckin,
Karl

Though I have added a bunch of additional filtration to mine, it's basically stock. Mods are not a requirement around here. Some do, some don't.

Welcome to our little corner of the internet!

Here is the beast. Since I've owned her she was not dirty until we went to UT. Been using clay bar and polish and wax every weekend to clean her up sorry you have to see her this way.
