Hello! Great Site!

I purchased a one owner 1988 F250, from a guy I worked with seventeen years ago, he was the original owner.
Solid chassis, and solid body, with a wheel well patch passenger side, and a a rear cab corner lower passenger side, will make the cab airtight!. I have been searching this site for a lot of the nickle/dime repairs, for the past month, that aren't nickle/dime any more!
A great informative group of people posting. They have become my "go to" group for unfamiliar issues for my needs. Should I find a better fix, I will post it.
I've been a Chevy guy all my life. Started out with a '55 Chevy at 18 in '68, and upgraded to a '57 210 in 1969,which I still own today. Also a '68 SS Camaro not badly molested!
I needed a truck, and bought a Ford, the best trucks on the road!
It just turned out, as I had said an offer I couldn't refuse.
F250 460 with 4wd, and 4.10 posi rear with a "new rebuilt transfer case" the former owner and myself rebuilt together. Unlocked front end. The last tank of gas was, rear tank, 10.88 mpg! 70% highway driving. I'm looking to improve on that issue! I used a thread on here about the "dual purpose reservoir" and deleted it, temporarily, until I replace the front tank! I have, outside the system gotten my valve to move freely to all ports! It would be nice to have a backup tank should a fuel pump fail. Like us old farts, use it or lose it! That's kept me young,,,,,

Here on Cape Cod, dew points have been in the mid 70's range for the past two weeks. I've never been down south, but I remember from elementary school geography, that Arizona is dry!
With a 75 degree dew point down there, you people would probably melt. I can't imagine what it would be like there, under those conditions.
The old saying, it's not the heat, it's the humidity! I realize it more and more every year!
