This site is AMAZING!!!!!!!!

Over the past two months,as a moderatly skilled mechanic and zero skilled electrician,I've taken a burnt-out hulk,and fully revived it---fully replaced ALL wiring,learnt how to use an ohmmeter,how to diagnose charging,starting,fuel switching,cooling systems,full re/re brake system,steering pump,etc. --If it was not for this site ,and all the expert advice and support people share,I would have given up looong ago!!
--After this experience,I feel like you folks have helped me through a pretty full apprenticeship in mid-80's fords--where else could that happen!?!
Thanks soooo much!.......michael.

I am VERY glad to hear such news. While I didn't offer any advice to you, I share FTE with those who did. I am glad of that!
there is indeed a wealth of knowledge here, and a wealth of good folks willing to share that info.

If you had to buy as much experience as there is here, nobody could afford it, yet we get it FREE !

(of course you could click on the link over there -----> and join Club FTE)

This site is awesome no doubt about it. I just looked at the dodge and chevy websites and don't even compare. Ford is
is No. 1 in trucks as well as websites.

I too find this site to have the best technical information. I visit other Ranger sites and noticed they focus more on modifications and customizing. I sometimes get information from them but when it comes to technical knowledge and advise, no one beats FTE!

While I may drop in on other Ranger sites, FTE is HOME!

I hope anybody reading my posts on this website doesn't get offended by my comments especially chevy and dodge guys. I just happen to bleed Ford blue. a die hard to the coreBlueoval tguy. I would like to think this forum is agathering of good friends having a good time trying to help each other out. If I run your brand down just fire back and let me have it. No matter what you say I hope we can all stay friends. Just my thoughts. Thanks.
