New to diesel, looking forward to being a member here...

[N.E fjord-by-fjord 2fiddy]

Hello all.. Up here in western Maine, and just last week I finally got my first diesel rig... It's a '94 Ford F250 XLT supercab 4x4 with a 7.3L IDI Turbo. I really love it already, and I'm looking forward to upgrading several different areas of the vehicle. Only 160k on her, and plenty more to go! Every time I go on the internet and search for information on Google about diesels, diesel issues, mods, etc... Almost all roads lead to this site. Every time I browse the site I learn something new, and just from reading the posts I have it really sounds like the people on here are genuinely invested in helping each other get the most out of their vehicles, whether its just a toy, or a work rig.

I don't see the bickering and trash talking that some forums have... and I gotta say that's pretty appealing. As a newbie to "diesel life", I would feel hesitant to post things on other sites for fear of being mocked or condescended to... but not here. I gotta give credit to the existent members here and say I think you're doing a great job!

So yeah... anyway. I'm about to go post my first question(s), and I'm excited to see what kind of responses I'll get!

Thanks again everyone for making this place feel so welcoming...
