Hi, Guys. I'm new to the site and wanted to say hello.

I've already put to use your great store of experience. I had a sticking entry light problem that was quickly dispatched with generous amounts of both contact cleaner and WD-40. We'll see how it works out over time.

I bought my regular cab, long bed, V10 4x4 automatic F250 Super Duty new in 1999. The only problems I've had are the aforementioned entry light that doesn't want to go off, a bad plug coil, and an EGR valve that is throwing a code and check engine light. It's been a great machine and done good service hauling and towing.

The V10 has been powerful and reliable, though thirsty. City mpg is usually around 10-ish, with highway being about 12-ish. I can drive from Omaha to KC without downshifting in cruise control. There is one particular hill, however, that I get a downshift on and thus I know it's time to clean the air filter.

I look forward to many more years of service from my SD and wish you all the same from yours.

Will

 

Welcome to FTE Mr Incredible!

 

Thanks for the response! It's been a long time coming, but I figured I would eventually need to find out some things about my truck. It's been so dependable it's almost become part of the background.

Good to be here.

Thanks again.

WELCOME to FTE!

 

Welcome aboard!

 

Welcome to FTE. Love the title for your post! Haven't heard THAT since I was in the service! I'm usually the one that brings up FNG around my place of business, and then I usually have to tell SOMEONE what it means!



By the way DD1684, was that the hull number on your ship?

 

Love.
Exciting and new.
Come on board.
We're expecting you.

Sorry, all this nautical talk always reminds me of The Love Boat.

 

Welcome !!!!

 

I was Air Force, but I was in a comm center and they don't have tail numbers.

My wife is retired Navy, her dad is retired Navy. I'm outnumbered and apparently being taken over by the Stockholm Syndrome...

I, too, have to explain many jokes at work to the young kids. Things like "make hay while the sun shines," the Minnie Pearl price tag thing, "dial" a number, why it's called the "clicker," that I grew up having to stand up to change the channel and answer the phone, etc. It's a real treat getting made to feel so old.

Poor kids, imagine them having to walk into town and back.

 

Isn't DD1684 a reference to a psychic prediction about FEMA being taken over by the military?

 

Incredible, if you're in OMA, the NE chapter below . . . local stuff.
Welcome aboard, from another Wingnut.
Will you get it if I said I'd been SAC-um-cized?

 

I can't say I've heard that exact phrase. Being in the comm center all the time, we didn't get out much. Deep in the bowels of the STRATCOM bldg. It was almost like the beginning of Get Smart. We didn't have the Cone of Silence, though.

I'm surprised I even remember how to get back on base to get my pills. I did such a huge brain-dump when I left the base for the last time that you could almost hear the wind rush in where the knowledge used to be.

Dear and I retired here in the OMA area. She's not much into trucks, but she likes to go out playing in the snow in it. Still waitin' for the snow...

 

Welcome to the site fellow V10er !!
