Howdy from Texas

Hello,
To let ya'll know a little about me.I am married,have 3 children,boy 6,girl almost 4,and boy 2.I work as mechanic for a commercial truck dealership.I
have worked for several Ford car dealerships as a technician,about 11 years
doing mostly heavyline engine,transmission repairs.I just overhauled the
transmission in my explorer (a4ld)and let me tell you,i got a little rusty after
working away from it for a while.Now I work on the big rigs,mostly in electrical
and ac work.(I'm small so i can fit in to the tight spots)
I have also done some time in the carpentry field,building customer cabinets,
doors and furniture.
I am currently looking for a new(to me)truck,crew cab 6.9 or 7.3 idi
to carry my family around in and as a good work truck.the explorer is not
big enough for my family(sport 2dr.)
I look forward to hearing from ya'll

Hello and welcome to FTE, nice to have you and your family on board.
Working as a mechanic for a commercial truck dealership and having worked for several Ford car dealerships as a technician gives you a leg up on some of us here.
A crew cab will make a great family/work truck so drop into the Super Duty And Heavy Duty forum https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum30/ as well as some of the other diesel forums.
Be sure to visit your local Texas Chapter https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum96/ soon.
