Hello all, my name is Joan and I am fairly new to this site. I bought a used 1999 F250 7.3L to tow the horse trailer that I bought. I'm having some problems with it presently, and was told to check into the CT chapter. I have been lurking since I purchased my truck in 2010. I live in Fairfield county, so would love to hear from anyone in the area that can direct me to a good diesel repair shop!

Hi, I'm Bill from Eastern CT and I recently acquired (for the price of a tow) a 1986 F150 4wd with 300-6 and 4 speed. The original intent was to drag it directly to the scrapyard, but after airing up the tires and realizing it was a 4wd, it's now my new project/dump runner/toy-to-be. Yes it runs, yes it drives, yes it's straight, no it's not rusty. The last Ford pickup I owned I parted with in '93 so it's like starting over again. Thanks for having me aboard! ~Bill

Just stopping in to say hi to the Connecticut chapter. I'm john and I live in Newington. I drive a 2011 F250 6.7 stock. Spend summers at Charlie Brown Campgrounds in Eastford. If I'm not in the F250 you will find me in the 2014 Jeep Sahara ( my wifes).

Hi all. I've been wandering through the site for a little and just registered. I'm looking for a 250 to replace my Explorer. I'm no stranger to trucks, diesels, turbos, and Fords, but all in one package, what I don't know can fill the Internet.
