It has saved my dad and brother several $ in fixes (I don’t have a Ford, looking). I have been in the back ground for some time just reading, but now that I’m looking for a truck of my own I should come out to help in what ways that I can (if you find a cc 4x4 srw automatic that’s good please let me know). I hope soon I will be asking my own question about some mods and good parts.

Thanks Matt

Man, glad you decided to come on board. Ask away! and congrates on your decision to buy a Ford and more important, a 7.3. Look around, take your time, and something will come along soon enough. Again, welcome and lets get that post count.
