HI All,
My father had Ford trucks when I was growing up and now I want a Ford truck. I love the classics (1970) but need something for a slide in camper and for four seasons. I love the Raptors they look so bad ***. Looking for a F 250 or F350. I won't be towing but need they payload for a camper. Confused about gas/diesel and then now if I buy new you have eco-boost and all different types of engines. I just need something reliable. Simple and reliable and that doesn't rust out so easily. Yes I am a woman, and yes, I don't have much knowledge about these things. So I joined to read and gain knowledge and get some advice from my manly men out there who own Fords, and know what is what.
Thanks-Rosie

Hello, just membered up today. I have always driven Ford trucks, over the years I've had a 76 swb, an 83 lwb, 92 lwb, 96 3dr 4x4. I currently have a 71 swb, and drive an 02 4dr, 4x4. I joined mainly to interact with the bump side guys on projects. Seen some really cool stuff on here. This is a great site thanks for all you do and share out there.
I've been lurking for almost 4 years now and never had a reason to post, until now. I'm introducing myself and saying hi in hopes someone can point me in the right direction of the solution.
I have a 94 power stroke, the first available. I've had it since 2016 and have really enjoyed it. Before this diesel I have enjoyed two different straight 6's and a beautiful bull nose two tone f150.
I have recently replaced the injector o rings and now the darn thing won't start. I don't think I'm getting fuel out the tail pipe so I'm wondering where to go next. Input will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

1954 F-100 restomod
Hello,
I'm building a 1954 F-100 restomod. The whole body is now resting on a 1986 Ford Ranger regular cab long bed 4x4. The running gear - 1980's Ford 302, C4 transmission, Bronco II axles with 355 gears. It starts and moves, but I'm planning to tear down again when I'm ready to paint.
I'm trying to make the exterior and interior period looking, and I also plan on driving the truck every day I can, right through winter in the rust belt of Western PA!
I was was shocked and pleased at how easy it was to move the body onto the Ranger. I still have a couple of issues to figure out, but more on that stuff later.
I'm I'm going to read through some of the forums and see what you all are about.

Greetings to the group and thanks for the addition.
I guess I am a Ford guy.
I have three of them;
2010 F-250 5.4L with an added camper kit to carry the Arctic Fox 865.
I recently, last week bought a 2016 F-350 SRW Platinum to take over the camper carrying job.
The added power of the 6.7L diesel will be a much welcome upgrade along with the carry capacity.
But, I think I have to add the sway bar, but still unsure of that.
My wife's car is also a Ford, a 2014 Edge.

I am tired of going to the dealership service department and feeling like a moron so I started lurking here. I am also wanting to learn skills to keep my truck running great. My coolant is low and after reading my manual I saw that I am due for a flush. So why not do it myself? My supply list is complete and I watched a video on how to complete this task but I could not find the petcock right away so I knew it might be time to join and start asking.
Hi everybody,
I'm new here, but I've been reading on your forum for the past few month.
I'm actually restoring a 1956 F100 Truck, with a 351w and C4.
I've plenty of question about the engine compartment and the exhaust.
A little about me, 34years old, married, 2 daughters, really big fan of the US cars.
I'm from Switzerland, actually in Virginia, I have to be done with my truck by the end of the year, I'm gonna take it with me back in Switzerland.
Thanks for your help.
