Thumbs up Hello everybody - from a newbie

I have used this site for a couple of years to answer my questions and solve my minor issues with my 00 SD 4X4. I have yet to find an issue that you folks have not addressed yet!!!

Now that I have learned from all of you, maybe I can add my experiences from time to time to help others as well.

Eric

Thanks for the warm welcome!!!

The love of my life (peeking around the corner to make sure the other one is not getting jealous!) is a 2000 F-250 SD SC LB Lariat with the V-10. She is all stock with 68,500 miles. Her only downfall is that she has a drinking problem! Arabs salute her when we drive by and the guy working at 7-11 thanked me for his college education!!!

I am looking to add to the fold with a 1999 F-350 SD CC LB diesel. She has 129,000 miles but just as pretty as the 250. Anything I should look out for? She does not smoke, that is about all I know to look for on a diesel truck.

Thanks again. I will get my profile set up soon.

Eric

I am humbled after looking at your trucks. Looks like I better get busy on mine!!!!

By the way, my truck and the one that I am thinking about buying are both 4X4's. Is $17,000 a good price for the diesel? It is straight and clean with no smoke.
