That is true. Damn, we are getting old!!

A good friend told me you can really tell how fast time is going by looking at your friend's kids.

My dad said if you ever want time to go by any faster, just get another monthly payment.

 

I remember getting a PAA sticker from miller_feed. I still have the truck. Not much done to it lately aside from a BTS 4R100.

 

I'm just Ray, one of the East Tn 7.3 guys.
Nice to meet you guys that I've never met before!
Its good to see the guys I have met before.
HKusp I have a pic of you floating around somewhere in some old files, its from a gauges install we did

 

I've around FTE for a while, I'm just a little behind on truck technology. I had a bunch of 80's and 90's Ford trucks but this is my first superduty-era (ok, barely) truck and first diesel. It's a lot of fun learning about it.

 

I am skimming join dates as well.
Related question.
How many of us purchased our trucks new and still drive it daily?
I suspect that is an even smaller group.

 

Join dates may not say much. I purchased mine new in December 2001.

 

Sad to say I'm the second owner. Bought mine in the fall of 2007. It was 4+ years old with 146,001 on the odometer. The original owner took the 50% depreciation hit for me.

I've easily put that much back into it over the years but the 7.3 is a hard habit to break!

 

I've never owned a new Ford truck. They are just too darn expensive for me to justify buying one. This is especially true since they are so well made that there is a lot of life left in a 15 or 20 year old truck.

 

My 02 that I bought new ended up costing me a hair over 5¢ a mile when looking at purchase price only. And my son in law is still driving it today so that cost per mile is still going down.
