Smile New on the board!

I've been lurking for a few days and decided to join. I have an 04 F350, I've had it for about two months. I've always loved big trucks but don't know much about them so I thought this would be a good place to learn some new stuff.

I can't believe I am the first to welcome you aboard, the FTE Welcoming Committee must be sleeping on the job. Hope you enjoy the site, as much as I do.

Thanks guys! I'm sure I will love the sight. Here's a picture of my F350, well I should say mine and my husbands. I get to drive it alot more than he does because he's always out of town for work, and I figured since It's pretty much mine most of the time I should learn everything I can about it. Oh ya here's the picture.

Now that is a really nice truck. I like the wheels and the paint scheme. Welcome aboard!

You will find everything you need to know about Ford trucks on this site. When I first came here I was on here for hours a day reading old threads...after a few years I still see stuff I've never read before, even if it's the same forum

Some forums have some really good smiles, but most are inappropriate for our site.

Take some time to investigate everything FTE has to offer, the links on the right are good and check out the tech articles section (might learn something there too).

Also, look into the maintenance link for your new truck!

Oh heck..everythings good!

lol Ya your right, black is a very good looking color. I just hate having to wash it so much, plus it takes me forever.

Your truck is also very nice. Yep if your gonna have a truck, diesel is the way to go.

Welcome to FTE from Canyon Lake, Texas! Great lookin' truck, but your right, it is going to be hard to keep clean. It'll be worth it though. You came to the right place to learn about Fords & trucks, some very helpful folks on the site!

Thanks for the welcome! lol that's what I keep telling myself everytime I wash the truck, it's worth it cause it's so pretty when it's clean but it doesn't even stay clean for a day cause I don't have a yard yet so there's dirt blowin around all the time. Oh well at least I'll get really good at washing it.

Yeah, I hear you on "no yard". I live in the hill country and don't have "paved" anything. Wash jobs just don't last very long!

lol That would be a pain. There's paved roads where I live, I just don't have a yard yet cause it's a new house. I don't want a yard cause then I'll have to take care of it.
