Howdy y'all.
I'm John aka wardogjohn. I finally bought a truck again after loosing my last baby with a lot of other stuff in my divorce. It's a 2001 F350 7.3L. And let me tell you she is a beauty. Already love her to death. The alternator went out a few days ago and it kept going on battery for almost 200m. Oh it was in the middle of Montana, otherwise I wouldn't have found out otherwise. Anyhow here some more about myself. I'm an Army veteran, 29, was working in the oilfields for a few months before starting to drive big rigs. Had an an f150 which I lost when my exwife divorced me behind my back. Back in january I was finally able to buy another truck. I was looking for a 7.3L because I put a lot of miles on it and I don't wanna deal with the 6.0 and 6.3. I know they can be beasts once you invest some money and work into it. So no hard feelings. Anyhow while I am one hell of a warrior I'm not too much of a mechanic, at least nit compared to some of you guys on here. So I was refered to this site because it's got some issues. Nothing bad but stuff I wanna take care of. One being a constant oil leak. Would love to meet some people and attend some meets. Maybe host a grilling party in my backyard. Besides driving my truck my hobbies are fishing, hunting, shooting, woodwork, camping, hiking and my dogs.

Hey John!

Welcome to FTE, it's always good to see a new face. What part of KY are you from? We have people spread around the state, but most are in the Eastern half. (including northern KY)

Welcome John to the Ky Chapter, and FTE!! Have you signed up in the Ky Chapter? There's a link in my signature to do that. I'm up in the Northern Ky area close to Cincinnati, OH.

I live in Bowling Green. But I'm a professional driver so I'll come to meets wherever they are. Everything under 600m is just a quick drive to me.

No I haven't. I'm in Seattle right now and accessing FTE on my android. And don't see a signature on here. Will do it in a few days when I get back home if I can't find a way on here.
