Smile New guy on the block.

I have been following many of the forums for some time. I keep getting an invitation to say hi so here it is.

I had owned a 2003 F250 6.0 disel that was one of the very first to hit the dealers here in Spokane, Washington. That is pronounced SpooCan not SpooCane.

Well the 2003 was a real pain as you all know. I limped along with it, added a Banks System, K&N filter system, etc. Helped a bunch but I always had a nagging worry that anyday the thing would blow sopme gasdket or the tranny would freeze up, etc.

So when the employee discounts came out I just had to get a new truck. Got a great deal on a 2005 F250 Crew 4x4 Lariat SDW 6.0 L. Whow, a totally different truck. I can even turn it into my drive without having to backup! No modifications are planned at this time.

Any words of advice on the new baby would be welcome. I am breaking it in according to the posting on another one of these forums and keeping my fingers crossed everything with meld together well over the next 10,000 miles.
