Shaken Baby Syndrome 
I went out today mobbin around the end of Cushman, and found the ice track... the people that plow it are gonna be pissed.. cus I was going around a turn, and my tires turned... but my truck didn't! I plowed right through the burm and into the other lane, and then spun around and smacked another burm with my bum.. yeah it wasn't pretty. Hit my head on my steering wheel. I'm fine though, didn't hurt til this morning. bf saw it and was like "Michelle... you're gonna die before you hit 19, and that's in two months..."

If my dad will let me borrow his camera, I'll take some pics of the area, and of my AWSOME TRUCK!!! Finally show you my fabbed mirrors (from a Chevy Love) and my muffer/tail pipe (I think the muffler came off my dad's old Camaro... but it mighta been the Love. can't remember.) The tailpipe is totally awsome.. it's gotta be like... 5 inches most, then slopes down. I hear it's illegal, so I gotta go get that checked (I"m just too lazy -_- )

Hey there, I'm Will. I have an 88 F150. I'm by Dimond Center. I just posted my first posting concerning the truck, which is stalling, black smoke, rough idle. I put this motor in myself a few years ago and replace the old parts as they break. The latest problem just mentioned is throwing me for a loop.

Coming to Alaska soon!
Hey all! I'll be moving to the North Pole area in Mar/Apr time frame. My family and I lived there in the late 90's and can't wait to get back. Also, I'm now a first time Ford owner (09 F-150) and I'm certain I'll have some questions soon.

Yes, it's fuel injected. EFI 302 V8 5.0L Engine is 3 years old, parts from old truck are still old, may need replacing as they break.
