New guy here

Hey, my name is Josh. I just got my first ford truck the other day and so far so good. I have been mostly a chevy guy but I came across a deal on this truck so I got it. It needs alot of work but I'm up for it. I'm a diesel tech at an International Dealership.

The truck has the 4.9. The body is in ok shape, drivetrain needs alot of work. The leafspring shackles and frame supports are rotted. Thats the major thing. I have been browsing around the forum and it looks good here, no bs or little kids whining all the time.

Be sure to check out the Inline six forum too! Lots of good stuff on getting the most out of your 4.9.

No problem. Ususally one of the Moderators is the first to say hello. Maybe they are slipping!~ Probably busy cleaning up off-color posts

While you are here be sure to check out all the different forums. There is also a search function (in the blue bar,) to look up info on topics of interest.
