Hello folks
I am a proud new owner of a 2000 F250 with 7.3L PSD CCSB 4x4 w/6 speed manual Trans. Said Super Duty has been named OWEN and has approximately 250K on the odometer. It has been a North Texas truck for all of its life and seems to have very little rust. It runs well. The only problem that I have found thus far is that Owen likes to drip oil out of the left side of the engine when parked and turned off. He will need new shocks pretty quick and some form of tool box and bed liner.
I was referred to this site by a member of the Ih8mud site. He had very good things to say reference the knowledge and decency of the member on Super Duty Diesel.
My experiences with Ford trucks began with a 68 F250 camper special that my dad had on our farm in Texas. It was a durable and reliable truck. I then went in the military and became enamored with Toyota Land Cruisers. Recently I decided to sell my 1997 FZJ-80 Land Cruiser and buy a truck to camp/haul motorcycles (dirt) with. I went back to my roots and found Owen. My experience with diesels have been limited to tractors and military multi-fuel. I could use all of the knowledge that I can get on the subject. On the Land Cruisers I was generally about a four banana mechanic.
I live in Castle Rock Colorado area and work as a professional Airplane/Helo Pilot. I love my Wife, Three Kids, Dog and Kat! My hobbies and interests include aviation, hunting, fishing, camping, four-wheeling, guns, knifes and motorcycles to name a few.
I appreciate y'all having me here and hope to contribute as I become more knowledgeable on the Ford Super Duty!
