Hello from the potato state.

Hi everyone,
My name is Ray and I just joined yesterday. I live in Boise, Idaho. I am retired from a 26+ year military career on a disability. I know electronics and jet engines real well but seem to have problems with these piston thingies. I have owned fords my whole life and am currently working on a 1985 F-150, standard cab w/8' bed, 300-I6 with a 4 speed manual x-mission. It's not a pretty truck so it fits me just right. It's a good running truck but has emission problems and I'm sure you fine folks would love to help out. You can see that post elsewhere on this site. I am new to forums and talking online so I'll probably need to be slapped around a little bit once in awhile so don't be shy. Thanks for having me and "lets talk" so to speak.
