Im afraid the time has come...

Gentlemen, i regret to inform you that i have to retire from this great forum.

Not because i dont love Ford trucks;
not because i dont love the people here;

but i sold my F-150 and bought a 2001 dodge ram 2500 with the cummins 24 valve turbo diesel. I couldnt pass up the opportunity, its already built and has a brand new motor.

So im stepping down gracefully not because my blood doesnt run ford blue, but because i have betrayed my brethren.
It was a good run, we had some good times.

It was a pleasure my friends, your memories will remain in my heart forever.

farewell,


Brian Andrews

Just because you bought a Dodge doesn't mean you have to leave the chapter.

A coupla GTG's I attended, I was driving a 2006 Titan Crew Cab. Can't get more Brand X than that.

C'mon, Brian, stick around...At least long enough to give me a chance to spank that 24 valve.

We're a very forgiving bunch




Honestly...there's no reason to go. The site is called Ford Truck Enthusiasts, not Ford Truck Owners.

Well, hell Brian. It's not like we ever saw you around these parts anyway.

Enjoy the Dodge and the Cummins. It will be a new experience, far different than the F150. And like the others said, you can still hang out here, if you can stand the abuse.

Seeya round.

Rock on man. I had an '01 Ram 1500. I say stick around as well. Just because you drive a Dodge doesn't mean you can't stick around and enjoy the forums.
