Morning!
I see that when someones broke down he post's that's kinda cool.
I also belong to Steel Soldiers a website for military vehicle owners, they have although not updated recenlty a memeber locator map, just a general town or area, I didnt post a pin on my house, just the mearest big town to me. That may be handy for those who wish to help or need assitance. I met a guy in Sheyboygan who was super cool, and helpful.

I've always been a FORD guy damn near since birth. Though I work well with my hands I am no where close to being a mechanic. I keep having torturous events happen to me at my local dealership, events that have wrecked 2 family vacations and put their safety at risk, if they would only tell me the truth when I drop my truck off we would be ok. A man is only as good as his word!! PERIOD! I almost gave up on FORD this past week, you guys brought me back home. Thank You. Does anybody know of a good and honest 7.3 mechanic around the San Bernardino, CA area? I am going to see where Holtville is and check out John Wood. But if there is anyone in town any of you would recomend, I'm listening.

That's a great post Springer, obviously as a complete newbie to this forum I am struck by the sense of comraderie you all share.
As I mentioned in one of my first posts, I have been very active on a hunting forum for years with a similar vibe as here, not that much bitching, and we all take care of each other around the country, sounds like a similar experience to this place.
This place rocks.......I have been reading for about 3 days straight.

There's an awesome shop in South Orange County that many would recommend, but nothing in the Inland Empire for which I have any history.

Just minutes east of El Centro.
I envy you living so close to JW's shop. If I lived that close, John would get tired of me coming over so much and would start charging me rent!

Thanks for checking in with us. Always good to hear from you guys.
Your dad was very-well loved here, and is remembered for his knowledge and wisdom. He was one of the pillars of our group, and he is remembered frequently.
Again, thanks for the update on his "ride"!

I gotta say, i really like the people here. In the short time ive been here, /ive got lots of great advice and been walked through problems that would have cost me an arm and a leg. Just a different breed of people willing to help each other out.
There is one exception though. Try going to the V10 vs PSD thread and spouting your 2 cents for the PSD. I just stirred up the crowd over there. LOL!!
