Newbe here

Hi all,

This isn't my very first post (2nd). Glad to be here. Have a '92 F250 7.3 (w/ Banks turbo) which should be sold tomorrow as I hope to pick up my new 250 4X4 -CC V10 tomorrow also. Have been pulling a 30' 5th wheel with single slide with it and hope to pick up a little more "ease over the hill" with a new vehicle.

Thanks for being here to help me with my fear of going from diesel to gas!!!

Bud

Hi and welcome to FTE! Be sure to read this to help you around this site: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=300691 There are also State Chapters located near the bottom of the main forum page.

You are getting a V10? NICE! Hope you enjoy your new truck. And the guys in the V10 forum would LOVE to hear about your new truck. They are proud of their rides.

See ya on the boards!

-Matt

WOW...did a search on my own name and found out I never mentioned that the deal on that V10 fell through (dealer never picked it up from wherever it was). Dumped that dealer and found what I was looking for all along....a 2005 F250SD CC 6.0 PSD 4X4, Arizona Beige. I have taken it on a few trips...with and without the 30' 5th wheel attached and I really love this truck!! Running with the trailer has been getting me about 11MPG ...only had 650 miles on truck then and surprise, surprise, am getting about 20MPG without the trailer ...this on a 1000 mile trip to upstate NY and back. I love it!! This is better than I ever imagined...about 2700 on truck now. I'm told it'll get better with more miles on it!! WOW!
