I'm an Arkansan and own a 2009 F250 XLT 5.4L 4x4 long bed with a camper and towing package. I've been a Ford owner since my first '66 Mustang 2+2 Fastback way back in HS. Currently, I have a pop-up truck camper and a 16' enclosed trailer to haul my toys. I'm interested in boosting the hp without sacrificing too much gas mileage and hope to get some ideas from others who may have done the same thing. Glad to meet ya'll!

Hey you all out there in Ford country. Thanks for letting me join the club. Hope to see some awesome rigs out there and get some good feedback on a variety of issues that may come up. This is my first truck. I am retired and once I got my truck I felt like a teenager again. Never had a muscle car to trick out so I am trying stuff to make my ride something I can be proud of without going too over the top.
Day one.
Today, 16 SCREW, XLT 5.0 Coyote, Shadow Black, 302a package FX4 off road, 3.55, ARE z Series top, Line-X bed coating, hidden tailgate step,rear wheel well liners, Weather Tech mats, bushwhacker fender flares, BFG 275/60/20 KO2's, Aries Pro Series textured bull bar. Diode Dynamics LED reverse and plate lights, DeeZee tailgate damper. Some more to come.
Great looking truck! I too appreciate restraint, Nice job.
I've just signed on, but I bleed blue. I've owned nine vehicles, 8 fords and 1 merc. I always try to do own work and usually look to forums to help find answers. Up until recently I be just browsed the site but never signed up, but I just got a 87 ranger for a mud truck and plan on asking a few questions about it

I ended up just having to replace a ground strap from the cab to the frame that rotted off. I replaced sensors tho, re ran wires, everything thing, and aftr $300 it ended up being just a stupid missing $10 ground strap. Maybe this helps
I just joined FTE and hope to learn alot and get some help/ advice from people who know what they are talking about, I am about to buy a 1987 F250 XL with a 6.9L International IDI non-turbo with 4 speed transmission 4x4 extended cab.
I'll put a picture when i get one i would put a video but I'm not sure how.
My 6.9 Lariat happens to be a 1986 model with the extended cab & 4 speed transmission BUT 2-wheel drive. - I like mine very much.
(There are numerous 6.9 fans here, btw)
Just became the proud owner of my sons 2003 F350 Super Duty with the V8. Man, what a beast of a truck! Need to replace shocks, ball-joints, adjust front bumper and general clean-up. Nothing I can't handle luckily.
My son told me to join this forum and I'm damn glad he did. As for his new truck...moved to a brand new non-Ford. His loss.
