Hello! My name is Mike and I just wanted to introduce myself. I recently bought a 2013 F-150 SVT Raptor and I absolutely love it. I have owned 5 VW's as a german car fanboy so I figured if I went with a truck then I mind as well go big. Short of. I look forward to getting help from the forum

Hi All, relatively new member here. I've got a 1985 clubwagon XLT super 350 with 351W. I was designated "keeper of the van" and got it signed over to me as I have been the last minute repair man/roadside service for its multiple river trips. Rig has been a workhorse moving a ton of people and gear, and the occasional load of firewood. x25k on the clock.

I also just picked up a 1996 F250 crewcab powerstroke 4x4 which is my new love with some special needs. Odo says 129k but I am not certain it is original.

Well time to add my name, been searching around the forums awaiting my new truck and trying to learn a bit.

As of less than a week ago I got ahold of my 2015 F250 Crew Cab XLT 6.2L 4wd 6.75ft bed.

Already I have installed a back rack and bakflip F1 cover to her.

she is my work truck and is actually owned by the company but She is mine to drive and have a little fun with.

I do have some modification plans for her but am always looking for ideas.

I did just get a quote for some work lights and safety lights which I anticipate going on in the next few weeks.

Ill get some pics up shortly but Im sure we have all seen a white crew cab F250.....

Welcome to FTE.

What exactly are you trying to find and what difficulty are you having?

You've already figured out how to post or I wouldn't be responding to you.

Hey everyone.

I just picked up my 2015 F250. 6.7L V8.

So far I love it it's perfect. I started my Ford journey with a ranger into an F150 (5.0L is amazing). And now my superduty,

Love to know what you guys have done under the grill behind the License cover. For those that actually have to put a plate there I'm in Canada

New to Classic Ford Land

Hello: Just found this forum and thought I would join as I am a new owner of a 1952 F1 truck, but not new to Fords as I finished the restoration of a 56 T-bird last year and drive a 2010 Sport Trac as a daily driver. Pulled the F1 out of barn near Atlanta, Ga a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to figure out what to do with it. I think I am going to update to a modern drive train as I already have a 93 302 motor on hand. My searching on the internet has not discovered much in the way of parts suppliers, hopefully some one here will be able to point me in the direction of good vendors. Anyway, I look forward to bringing this old truck back to life as it hasn't seen the roads since 1972.

New to this, but a Ford lover by birth as the family would shoot me if I dove something other than. We currently have 4 Fords in the driveway

Just bought an 98 Ranger 4.0L. Fun to drive. The 4x4 doesn't work though. I found that out while I was sliding on slushy/icy/snowy roads on my way home from buying it. The previous owner put manual locking hubs on the front. Haven't looked into it yet, but look forward to searching for possible answers here.

Love the ranger

use caution on sharp corners as with the short and narrow 4x's sit up and from experience they tip over

I am new here. Just purchased a 1950 F1 for my oldest son and began working on it recently. This site is full of useful information and I am sure I would be lost without it. Recently replaced the kingpins after taking some time to get the old ones out (pain in the rear). We're putting disc brakes with dual power master cylinder in. Looks like the heater intake tube under the front passenger fender is rusted out and I'm not sure what to do with that or if repro parts are even available.

New old guy

I've occasionally researched on here over the course of years, a very informative site indeed. I have a 2005 Ford F250, still less than 80k miles. We are towing a fifth wheel camper now, so perhaps my big baby will start getting some miles. Stuff done would be a BulletProofDiesel EGR Cooler, Coolant filtration, racing studs to replace the stock head bolts, aftermarket air intake, Loony Tunes, and a digital display monitor to include exhaust temps. Oh, I also had to upgrade the turbo high pressure side recently. Probably some other stuff that doesn't come to mind at the moment, as I do enjoy tinkering!

Good morning ladies and gents. I'be been a Ford vehicle owner for approximately 8 years now. I own a 2004 Expedition with high mileage & a 1991 F-150 with unknown mileage. I intend to keep these vehicles for as long as possible. I joined this forum because I need all the help I can get! Looking forward to learning and growing with y'all.
