BINGO!!! You took the words right out of my mouth Scott.....or my words right off my keyboard....or something.
Looking forward to that. Sadly, I'll be at work and probably won't be able to get online but I'll try. Kudos Adrian!

John, he just will be answering questions in threads, he will try to check in on a daily basis!
I sadly cant envisage him being able to provide us with any information that isn't publicly available (such as HP/TQ etc.) but we can hope

I am sure he will introduce himself.
It isn't a "chat" per say. He will just be here to post answers to questions that get asked about the 2011 SD

Here is a question..I submitted it to the new ideas branch along time ago:
Hello,
Had an idea and wanted to recommend a fix/refinement for the mandated EPA cleaning of the DPF.
As a current owner of a 08 F250 with the diesel based upon my personal experience and of others that I know I believe that you could re-program the PCM to show the need for cleaning the exhaust filter in the message center.
Giving the driver the message first then secondly using the existing buttons on the right of the message center allowing the user to initate the cleaning sequence is a much better route to this issue.
For most of the owners/drivers out there. We usually encounter the "cleaning exhaust filter" at the most inopertune time. Your at a stop light, in rush hour traffic ect.
Why not come up with a message for the need to clean in XX miles and the ability to push a button to complete the cycle?
You could still have the mandatory cycle in the system if the driver does not self initate the process.
This capability would greatly enhance driver satifaction and would be an industry first.
I would love the opportunity speak with the design engineers on this issue, even be a test vehicle.
thanks for listen and forwarding my recommendation,
Scott Enix

Can you give us a hint on the time Adrain? Is he just going to hunt around for various 2011 topics (as in threads we should start this weekend to give him plenty of things to answer), or will you be starting a 2011 Ford thread to give us a starting point to post questions?

It still has one and will still require cleaning, though I would think maybe not to the degree we have now...just my thoughts. I think they are able to scale back the EGR a bit with the urea.
I could be way off base on that though.
