Newb here from texas
Hey guys im new around this site, so i dont have an avatar or any pics up. Im a Ford Diesel Technician if that helps any lol........Sadly, I currently dont own a Ford truck (although I have owned many) and work on them every day.
I drive a Ford car, though.........2007 Mustang GT with a few bolt ons, best time to date is an 11.97@116... Daily driver too. I figured I could lend a hand around the tech sections when I have time, and Im always looking for stuff about Ford trucks.

that time was on a little 75 shot.........It has a mild set of cams, and then the normal other bolt ons (CAI, a few suspension goodies, shifter, gears, etc).......other than the cams the engine is completely stock.........hopefully about to get a stroker off in her but money is kinda tight.......

Welcome, silverstang. You have a diesel mustang? 
And for the record, my 6.0 never spent much time at any dealership. A couple of flashes, shock and spring replacement - that's it.
Where in TX are you?

Buy yer'self a cheap 90s model F series gasser & do a junkyard mass-air conversion. (You should have enough tech savy to do it in your sleep) Then join us in the 87-96 forum. Welcome.
I've got Texas ties as well, love to go over whenever possible.

How many Bud Lights have you had? Better put it down before you hit that back-of-your-knee-licking state.

Howdy, come down the to idi forum: www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum117
Because come on, Powerstokes are way to overcomplicated and not nearly as reliable as the idis were.
I'm from Texas as well. More west Texas for me actually, but I do occasionally go to the Fort Hood, Harker Heights area to visit my Mom and sister.
