Welcome to FTE, Mike.

In regards to tuners.....there are a few of us that are on "The Dark Side". I'm sure you will find all that you want to know about tuning for Ford trucks.

IMHO - the best Ford trucks are the ones with rilly huge possibilities for "HOT-RODDING".

You'll know the right one when you see it - it will just kinda grab you...

That was how I ended up here - I got the truck, and immediately went looking for info.

You're already here, so by the time you make the buy you'll probly already know the truck inside and out!

That would have been way helpful for me almost ten years ago.

I will never leave this website, because:

1) I'll always have a ford
2) It's the real thing, and laid out so you can find what you're looking for without a bunch of smack and trash talking.
3) I just plain like the people here!

Tony is absolutely right. The tech info is far beyond anything anyone else has ever done - and it's FREE!

What can I say, the whole place was founded on that idea.

Welcome to the site. This is the best Ford truck site I've found on the net. There are a few others out there, but this one has the best tech...... and B.S. threads.

I've looked at a lot of "OTHER" truck and car sites (alternate brands) and none were smart enough to do what FTE does to manage the site.


For Ford trucks then - you can find a place like this.

Other brands and models I have found to be a waste of time.
