Thumbs up Hello from SW Florida

Thank you for this site. I am new to the Ford family, having cut my teeth on the Chev / GM family of trucks during my service in the Canadian Forces. Retired CF mechanic with 25 yrs service now enjoying life in SW Florida.

I have a 1995 Ford F250 XLT 4x4 with the venerable 351 power plant. Nice and tight with over 150,000 miles. I know nothing of about working on Ford trucks, but am willing and eager to learn.

The truck is a bit of a gas hog, and I will be researching this fine site in order to gleen as much information as possible on upgrading the air intake, exhaust and fuel intake systems to get better gas milage. If I gain some horses, that's ok too.

Already this site has helped me identify what type of rear end I have. I am looking forward to spending quality retired guy time on these pages.

Regards

CS45

Thank you for the welcomes. I have to make time (make time?? I'm retired!) to browse the many pages of information on FTE regarding my ride. As stated in my intro, I have alot to learn and looking forward to "updating" my truck to enhance performance and gas milage.

Safe driving.
