Today i join your ranks.

Hi guys i bought my first diesel today. i bought a 04 f250 screw larait 4x4 with 48000 miles with a power sun roof {or moon which ever it is called} and fx4 package. after signing the paper work i went and had a hide a ball installed i really dont know why i dont have a gooseneck YET. i've always bumber pulled i believe this will come to a quick end.
i traded in a 05 f150 fx4. i'm not going to dog the 1/2 ton i just dont like where they are going. after buying an 02 f250 with the 5.4 i just like them better now.
i've been planning this for a month or so and have been searching thru this forum for ideas and topics that i was interrested in. i've got to say that yall really brang alot to this board. yall really make me feel confertable in my switch to a diesel.

Congrats!

FWIW, Ford Motor Co. coined the term "Moonroof" and was actually the first major manufacturer (if memory serves) to offer a glass panel in the roof.

So if it is on a Ford it should referred to as a Moonroof. However, in this modern age, moonroof and sunroof as synonomous.

Oh and "Screw" is an F-150 term. Ya gotta break that "habit" now that you're a Super Duty owner again!

Thanks guy. I thought that ford had the moonroof but at K B B i noticed that an option was powered sunroof and then you had the moonroof. I wanted to be corret in my termilogy some guys around here can really tear you apart. So do we just refer to the crew cab as just a crew? Thanks for pointing that out.
