Saying hello

Hi guys
Just bought a 2000 F350 powerstroke. Not new to diesels but this is my first powerstroke. Been following the forum for a while now and I have to say this is were I've learned the most. Seems like a great place. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions and comments now that I finally have a 'stroke. Hopefully I'll be able to post some pics once the forum lets me


Derek

Howdy. Don't forget to fill out your sig and location so the group can help you out if you ever have any issues.

Enjoy your truck!

EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention that all new 'stroke' owners must watch this short training video. Standard practice.

I've been so busy. I almost forgot about this site until I got a e-mail today on a post that I did a couple years ago on bypass systems for 7.3 power stroke diesel oil systems it's good to be back. Place to be, if you want to gain knowledge on your truck. Good luck and be safe

Thanks guys
Its a 2000 F350 Regular Cab 7.3. Shes only got 104,000 on her and I got her for $9700. I bought it cause it already has all the Fisher plow hookups on it and I've already got Fisher plows. Everything is stock expect the intake has K&N stickers on it, soon to be replaced with a 6637. Plans include a straight pipe and gauges and I'd like to do the F650 dash too. Do you need a certain number of posts before you can post pics?

You might need to become a supporter to post pics but I am not completely sure. (most forums are that way though...) At any rate, that really didn't matter to me. I became a supporter because this site has saved me sooooo much time and money that I'd be a fool NOT to support this forum. Money well spent.

Welcome to FTE.

While changing to the 6637, go ahead and take the intake hoses off the turbo and check the wheel for play and dusting.

welcome aboard, don't forget put your location in your profile. This is a true brother hood and most will be willing to lend a hand in person if you are close, sometime even if you are not.

Thanks guys,
Heres a pic from the other night when I first got her home. I need to wash and wax and then probably clean up the engine compartment once I get the 6637 in.
