Long Time listener first time caller
I have been reading the forums here for probably the last 18 years but always found what i needed so I never made an account. Finally ran into a problem today that I need help with so I registered. Built my first Ford Truck at 14 and have owned one pretty much ever since (currently the 2 in my bio) I have worked in the Auto parts industry for the last 11 years started in Aftermarket (O'Reilly) And managed stores for them then moved to my current position as the parts manager for the local Ford Dealership. I have access to most of the information that the technicians have and all the parts catalogs going back to micro fish in the late 60's early 70's so i will help out where I can. I have never professionally worked on cars but it has been my hobby working on friends and family cars. I currently Daily drive a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7L because I'm a gluten for punishment but it was the best option for a 4wd I can go play on the trails in but is comfortable to drive everyday. My 'primary' Ford is a 2002 7.3l with 365,000 miles on it so I try to keep the miles off it because Diesel Parts are expensive even with employee discounts.
