Another newb..
Been lookin at gettin another pickup. I wanted a ford (is there really any other truck?). I also wanted a diesel, for the towing that i end up doing thanks to the family, and work etc... I almost bought a 99 dodge but im not happy with a 170000 mile truck being 17 grand. But around here thats the norm. I have nothing against dodge or chebby, Ive used em all for work at one time or the other, and pulled some stupid big loads in the oilfields with em. But today my wife came home with a silver 99 crewcab with 116k on it. She told me to go sign the papers on it and to quit whining about findin a pickup. Well im happy with it and at 14 grand i think (or hope its a good deal). Think its funny I have been looking for about six months now, and my wife saw that and looked for 2 hours, and found me a pickup. Ive been reading up and will be for some time learning the ins and outs of psd ownership.
Btw the wealth of knowledge thats availible on this site is absoloutly amazing and its a good thing that people can post questions and answers without getting slammed. Thank you all

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on the new to you truck.
I see that you posted about oilfield work. Are you in Texas? I am in the oilfield business myself.
Post some pics of the new toy.

You've got a door badge that says "Powerstroke DIESEL V8. It's a 99-1/2. Cloth seats, power windows says it's an XLT.
Same as the 2000's for all practical purposes.
If was an early 99, it would have the Powerstroke emblem out on the fender where the gassers have them.
It's going to take you some reading here to eventually feel like you're "on top" of really knowing something about it, but it'll be all worth it. Don't forget that spare Cam Position Sensor (CPS) to put in the glovebox, and the tools and knowledge to change it.
Oh, yea, I forgot... you're gonna' LOVE this truck!!!! Your wife will, too!
Do something special for her, 'cause it looks like she has a good eye for trucks.
And don't forget, go sign the paperwork to make it YOURS!!

You REALLY owe your wife one!!
Very nice truck. Great color. Looks nice and clean. The 3rd seat up front is very useful (jealous), I just have a console
A toast to you, your truck. "Drive fun, hard and safe....for many years to come."

Wyoming....very cool. I have family in La Grange and that is where my dad is from.
Nice truck, bro. Glad to have you in the club.
Pop is right, you're gonna love having a Power Stroke. They are a ton of fun to own and drive.
