Welcome to FTE StrokeR!!!

Tracey hit it. After your 25th post you'll be able to create a signature, and you'll have access to the private message system, etc.

Sounds like you have a nice pickup there. I have a hard time remembering when mine only had 42k on her. Welcome to FTE!

Welcome to FTE. My name is David and I have became a diesel addict with PMS (powerstroke modding syndrome) since joining this sight. Sure could use some more money for all these mods that are recommended! Will gladly accept all donations for the treatment of this disease!

Paul,
Where are you exactly? I'm in Lewisville. You just missed a hell of a weekend up in Denton -- BullyDog opened a new facility there and hosted a dyno event. There were tons of Dodges, a few less Chevys, and us Ford guys had the least of all. It was a blast either way, and I ran my truck on the dyno for the first time.

Welcome to FTE and hope you find yourself as at home as I have. You might also look up our local PowerStroke group: North Texas PowerStroke Association (NTxPSA). Lots of locals there.

I'll make it easy on ya' :



I think mine went up around noon or so. If you remember the 4-door Bronco/F350 Diesel hybrid, it was shortly after that.
