Hi

Hello,

Nice forums you have here. I've lurked and read for a number of years but decided to create an account to ask some questions and participate. A few months ago I sold my F-150 and purchased a new 2017 F-350 DRW gasser. I have a 500 gallon water tank we slide into the bed for hauling our domestic water, we do a lot of camping with our camper, and I haul firewood and whatever else needs doing. Lifelong Alaskan and love driving all over the greatest state in the nation. ;-) Looking forward to getting to know you guys. I've an immediate question on swapping out rear-ends but will create a thread for that in the appropriate forum.

Welcome to the forum and we hope you enjoy your time here. We have a great group to answer questions and help with problems. We look forwards to your questions and input.

Look in your states chapter and talk with your neighbors.

Rod

P.S. I love the license RTFM.

Thanks! I didn't know about the chapter forums and have now sent a join request. I was quite happy to get the RTFM plates.

Welcome! I saw your truck in downtown Fairbanks not too long ago parked at the admin center's parking lot on 6th Ave. I work in the building and upon leaving, I had a good laugh when I saw the tags on your truck.

Wow! Small world! Be sure to say hi if you ever see me parking/leaving.

At a previous employer (the one I retired from) my partner there and I changed the phone answering system to say "Hello thanks for calling Station 29, RTFM" then would hang up the phone! We did get in a little trouble but the Management thought it was funny.
