New Guy Beer, er...HERE

Hello Folks – I live in Meltingballs, AZ. I have a 1996 F250 7.3L Turbo Diesel 4X4 Automatic Trans with 152000 on it (yeah, just broke-in) and a 1975 F100 Custom w/302ci 2bbl Auto Trans with 190,000. Also have a 2001 Dodge Quad Cab but we won’t talk about that here J
I’m fairly new to the diesel scene but love the F250. I bought a programmer & have been amazed what you can do by simply reprogramming the factory chip. And the thing actually gets 20 MPG at 65MPH (with the AC off). Also going to a 4” exhaust aft of the turbo – after it cools down a bit around here. Kept the factory alloy wheels – not a bad looking unit – and just put some nice BF Goodrich all terrains on it.
Looking forward to talking to you folks & hoping to learn something along the way. Have a brewski with me when you're in Meltingballs!

Take I-8 to Wherethehellami, turn left on Whyamihere Rd. Follow it for 20 miles to Wemustbelost, & keep going. When you’re light-headed & see black spots in front of your eyes, you’re in Meltingballs, AZ!
