Morning All
Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Chris and I live in the south bay area. I am a CNC Programmer/Machinist. So for the good info...my ride is a black 1994 standard cab long bed F350 4x4. It's lifted 6" with 37's and is powered by a 460. I do take it to Hollister hills OHV from time to time. In fact if anyone cares I will be going this weekend with some co-workers if anyone wants to show up. I'm hopping to make some new friends out of this and get some good information for mods and fixes.

Hey Chris, welcome! What part of the South Bay?

We hold get-togethers at Andy's place in Morgan Hill throughout the summer each year. You should try and make the next one when we get it scheduled.

Andy does/did something similar to that.

The GTG started in the 7.3L PSD forum, so most of the guys who make it have a 7.3L powered rig.

Fire truck anyone?

I detected a ripple in the force..... 7.3 in the 56....only if they are still around when the 5.9 tires out.
