Gday from Downunder

gday at FTE, I have an XLT F250 crew cab 7.3 turbo diesel, bought new from local Ford dealer in Australia in early 2003, now with 150000km on it, and I reckon it's great. I have had a few F100s (older ones) before, and now I am looking forward to checking out the site to get as many tips as possible. I am also looking forwward to the 6l PSD's coming out down here, as I had a drive of the new ones in Seattle earlier this year and am hangin out to upgrade.

G'day to a fellow Aussie

You should join us in the International Chapter
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/f...play.php?f=141

As for waiting for the 6.0l, I wouldn't hold my breath - I don't think we will ever see it on these shores.
We have something even better to wait for
