Talking Howdy do I'm New

How's it going guys i just recently got a '99 F 250 Superduty Crew Cab Powerstroke , and am very proud with the powerstroke. I bought it with 200,000 miles (all highway,one owner) from a guy who drove the state of Texas selling medical supplies, and have all maintenance records. I have to say I am just 18 and never again will a gas motor sit in my drive way. I drive like 150 miles a day and truck idles for sometimes up to 2 hours a day also. Hell i am getting just about 20-21 miles a gallon, with highway/city combined as well. So with the mileage and engine life expectancy in mind, my 98 Siveraldo is history. Currently i have no upgrades except the StageCoach conversion, which is outstanding. The only plans are a Bully Dog 4 inch exhaust in the next few weeks, the Texas heat is a bummer, so I thought i would let the engine cool down a bit. Thanks for checking it out. Take care

Howdy do I'm New

Welcome to FTE from Canyon Lake, Texas! Congrat's on the PSD! I had a 2001 S/D Crew Cab w/short bed. I sure liked it, for everyday driving and pulling! I had a 70hp chip installed in mine w/new and it was great. I now have a 2002 S'crew w/5.4L, which I pull behind my motorhome (replaced the PSD w/ motorhome). Welcome, again!
