hello!

[bubblegum]

I was recommended to join this board and I just registered, so let me introduce myself: I'm a 24-y-o ***** (and I'm 110% proud of it, tehe!) who can drink tequila by the gallon and prepare sushi faster than greasy light moves, and also happen to be the "new" owner of an IDI-powered Ford

Actually the truck is not exactly new to me, as it used to belong to my boyfriend who is one of your fairly active members here - he recently found something from the "dark side" he just had to have but he was a bit short on cash, and since we both put so much work into that truck already it just would not be right to sell it to some random yahoo (not that he'd ever think of selling to begin with, sometimes I think he likes the truck more than he likes me ). So I generosity traded some of my savings for his title, and I'm now the proud owner of a 1990 F350 SCLB dually. No turbocharger so she certainly is no rocketship, but then again my other vehicle is a 6.2 Blazer 4x4 so this is actually a bit of an improvement at least as far as butt-dyno power goes, tehe!

So, yes, I am certainly not new to diesels, and I have some experience with this particular 7.3 IDI, so I promise there won't be too many silly questions, however I'm definitely not the brightest knife in the box and there are several projects with this truck that still need finished, and knowing my goofball he'll be all over his new toy and I got the gut feeling I may have to resort to online help and guidance with the work... Yes I do work on my own vehicles, lol

Anywho, nice to meet you all!

If you've got questions, we've got answers.

Check the tech articles, there's a crapload of info there.

Welcome aboard, you will make us look a lot better!

 

[bubblegum]

Okay then I will ask! Just you wait, something will show up soon enough, tehe!

Brandon, I well I'm a total idiot and I got lost in the tech stuff, but there is a section for FAQs too, so this is where I should probably start, right? But, I really really want this now:

Welcome aboard. Since you are already familiar with the previous owner, you can start by running a search here in this section on his member name and get a real good idea of what's been done to the thing and when ( and he'll probably want to whup up on me for mentioning that if he's got anything in there he dont' want you to see

And as we tell everyone "we're here to help you spend your money!"

Sounds about right...I don't want to think about how much money's gone into my IDI since I got my hands on her over 9 1/2 years ago now Welcome aboard!! any pics of the truck/owner?

My girlfriend has an account on here, but fortunately for me, she doesn't come over here that often...not that I have anything to hide

Okay, I'm a total idiot, I deleted a post when I only wanted to edit it with a link... Oh well, stupidity strikes again. Anyways, thanks for the welcomes guys, and I'll be reading through the tech stuff, tho I may find stuff I'd like done to this truck and there goes my paycheck...

RLDLS, what a wonderful idea!

Warden, I was waiting on that request, tehe

it's restored

 

[bubblegum]

Towcat, thanksyou! And I added the link that I wanted too - scary how little gauges these trucks have, and how many it's nice to have...

 

[burtcheca]

It always amazes me how kind and courteous you guys are.

I don't remember such a long row of welcomes after a new member said hello. And how well disguised the request for pictures! And the immediate help restoring the post! Hummmm. Very thoughtful!

Anyhow ... Welcome Bublegum!

This is like a family. Here people care for each other and their trucks. Now you are one of us. Our baby sister.

Lol, on the car audio forum i moderate, every time a woman joins they usually run her off in 5-10 minutes because they act like ******** that have never talked to a woman. Its refreshing to be on a site with polite people.

Welcome to the forum = )
