Another FNG

Hi everyone looks like I'm the new guy. My name is Ed, I live in Western NY state near Wellsville. I just bought my first diesel pickup, a 2002 F350 reg cab 2wd 7.3 so I'll be lurking around here for a while. I've been reading for a while now and got lots of good advice - you guys are the best.

Welcome, hang around and you'll learn more than you want to, laugh till you cry, and generally have a good time all around. If you need anything don't be afraid to ask, the only dumb question is the one that is not asked.

Welcome to FTE FNG. Tell us more about your truck. Any plans to do mods to it? By the way, don't be shy about jumping in on any threads and asking questions if there's something you don't understand. We were all new at one time.

My truck is all stock, no mods. I bought it with extensive body damage so my money has to go towards body work before anything else. The door/fender/bed/lights/tires all need to be changed out but it seems to run good and the maintenance looks like it has been kept up with. I have a question about how to decode the axle tag but I started a new thread. The truck is just a bare bones F350 2wd reg cab 7.3 work truck. No options except the 7.3 auto and A/C.
