Hello from Alaska

My name is Zach. I was born and raised here in Wasilla Alaska and I am now raising my family in this amazing state. I just bought a 2005 F-250 6.0 Power Stroke Turbo Diesel. It had 80,666 when I took it for a test drive and fell in love with it. It had one original owner. He kept great records. Every fill up, oil change and service. It has an aftermarket K&N air filter system and fuel injection performance kit.

My wife and I shared her mini van for four years. I didn't want to burden my family at that time with the extra car payment and associated costs. As soon as we could comfortably afford it, I went down to my local Ford dealer and fell in love with my truck.

I hope my one year old son will be able to learn to drive on it. My daughters loved taking "Daddy's truck" to cut down and haul home a Christmas tree this year. I have a gorgeous wife who somehow looks just a little bit sexier driving away in the truck.

I would love any first time power stroke owner advice if anyone has some. I have already learned so much reading these threads. Thanks for everyone's insight.

Zach
