Howdy from Texas

I just bought a 1999 F-250 Super Duty Crew Cab..mainly for towing. It has the 5.4 and is loaded. It is a pretty, spotless, bright red, 1 owner truck, but uses gas badly... I'll do a tune up on it and go from there. I joined this site because it seems to be varied with very helpful members as it is on several Mopar old car sites I also belong to. I'm 58 and have been rescuing cars from the junk yard all my life as a hobby. I own my own urethane molding company in Conroe, Texas and have quite a collection of cars and trucks to complete and/or start on......1956 Ford 1/2 ton, 1957 Desoto Firedome 2 dr hdtp, 1967 Charger, 1994 Mustang, 1995 Cougar XR-7, and the 1999 F-250 Super Duty. 60/70 hours a week leaves little time for them, but maybe I'll slow down someday.

Thanks the adminstrators for their efforts and I look forward to partisipating in the forum.
