Thanks Krewat,
I'm a non-mechanic who's learning to work on vehicles out of necessity. I've picked up a few things, but am by no means skilled. My truck is a 2001 F250 V-10 super duty with 4wd. Its got about 240,000 miles so far. I've had the transmission rebuilt, and plan to replace the motor sometime in the next two years.

Randy

Hello everyone!!
My name is Randy I am married with 2 kids and live in Pennsylvania.I have never owned a Ford before. My 2000 dodge ram has cost me enough money in repairs so it is time for a change. I recently purchased a 2011 F250 4x4 crew cab. It has 58000 miles on it. I will be asking a lot of questions. I do all my own repairs if possible. Thanks.

I purchased my 1st F250 diesel 2 years ago, Ive been on the site many times since I started thinking about buying a diesel, and of course Ford was my only choice.
I read LOTS of forums about diesels since I had never had one before. Ive owned several F150s but never anything heaver than that. I bought a 12,000 pound 5th wheel and my F150 definitely couldn't pull it which gave me a great excuse to finally play with the big boys. After reading a lot of blogs about the different diesels and learning about "Bullet Proofing" I found a 2007 F250 Super Duty Crew cab 4 door with a 6.0 that had been completely bullet proofed and then some plus- it had the suspension upgraded to a 1 ton suspension, It has 20" tires and a 2"lift kit
I love it! It has all the power I need and then some and looks great.

Intro

Hello all,

My name is Jesse and I drive a 96 F250 with the 7.5 L 460. I have been scrolling for a while and decided to join. I have been doing some maintenance work to the truck and am looking for pointers and tips for a few different jobs that I have been working on. Also, there are some parts that I have been looking for that I know someone on here has found that I need. Lol. I am looking forward to some useful information and also being able to give my insight on some things that I have ran into while doing work on my truck.

I’ve been lurking on this website for a few years, finally made an account out of boredom. I’ve owned nothing but high mileage dogged out ford trucks so my reason for being on this cites self explanatory lol. Where’s my 7.3 cult at?

The forum has been super helpful with finding info on the truck!
I know a guy running past a million miles on just exactly that make and model.

Hi Guys,
I'm Steve. A couple weeks ago I sold my 2007 F150 to my son. He needed a truck and I wanted something newer, and more capable. A few days ago I bought 2016 F250 XLT 4X4 crew cab with a 6.2l. Its a sweet sweet truck and much better for pulling my car hauler with either my Ford model T or 1948 ***** jeep.

1999 F250 Superduty Supercab

Hi all, I’m new to the forum hailing from Eastern NC and have

just purchased from a friend a 1999 F250 Superduty Supercab with the 7.3 and 95,000 original miles. It has been garage kept for 20 years and has a ton of extras. Chip, K&N intake manifold, exhaust and air filter, beefed up transmission, three gauges on the driver side pillar, airbag suspension, etc. It is a white with blue trim and is so so sweet! He planned on pulling a 5th wheel around the country but life got in the way and he was never able to do it. Thanks for allowing me to be part of this forum.

Just registered so I’m new to the site and Ford truck ownership. Bought me a 1999 F250, 7.3L SuperCab. I really like the 7.3 and the short box with the SuperCab is perfect for my needs. Looking forward to the advice from other owners!!

Hey everybody!

How's everyone doing? My name is Jason. 6 year Navy vet. gear head through and through. Fighting stage 4 cancer and kicking it's ***! I recently purchased a 1997 F150 Lariat 4.6l. 142,000 miles. Damn good looking truck for it's age! I have never joined a forum before so I apologise in advance if my "forum etiquette" is off at first lol. I'll do my best to follow the rules. So feel free to correct me or set me in the right direction! I definitely have some specific questions about this truck. Been a long while since I owned a 1/2 ton and had the time or money to do begin doing what I want to it lol. Hope you all have had a great week!

Here she is! Took about a week to shine it up lol. The previous owner hadn't done a thing to it for the past 6 years. Not even a vacuum or a rinse. I used so much mother's products I should buy stock in the company haha.
