Maybe open up the idea in the regional chapter forum https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/f...play.php?f=138 that way the chapter leaders of each region could compile a list of participants.

I know that this next winter we are going ot be traveling back out to Washington to visit my relatives, and even though I am not taking the PSD I am still on the road through several states and having a network like this just in case would sure make me feel better expecially traveling in Dec over the rockies.

When I log on I usually look at "new posts" first. I don't know if other do this or not but that is how I found this thread. I'm not a diesel owner, but I will say that you would miss out on a lot of resources if you excluded other from a help system.
But if each FTE member had numbers for a couple of others, they could contact them and have them post a HELP call on the forums with a location, perhaps including a GPS postion if available. Maybe there could be a HELP forum added on FTE for the purpose.
Another idea, if everyone listed their gps location with a phone number? This would give a stranded member a "nearest" help volunteer.

I've found that I very seldom stray outside of the 7.3 section. In fact never do unless I have done a search and it will take me elsewhere. But if it is 2:00 a.m. I'll be more than glad to take help from anyone. Likewise, maybe not so glad, but willing to help another FTE member too.

I would be willing to bring fuel or my winch or needed tools within a fifty mile radius, using gasoline to get me there.
