Hello all.
 
I would like to introduce myself to the community.
My name is Gary, I live in England, U.K. and own 2 Ford diesel trucks.

1st '99 f-250 xlt supercab short bed 7.3 powerstoke/auto SRW colour is Red.
2nd '94 f-350 xl crewcab long bed 7.3 idi/auto SRW 4x4 colour is matt green.

The '99 is my daily driver I bought it in 2004 on ebay and imported it myself. Mileage is curently around 212,000.
The truck is still basically stock, however mods so far,
I had to alter some of the lighting,to comply with our laws, also adapted the hitch receiver to take a 50mm ball and twin 7 pin electrics. I imported and installed an Undercover bed lid, installed a coolant filter, modded the fuel tank pickup, installed a tank breather valve and filter, twin fuel filters, a bosch inline electric pump. I have replaced the brake rotors with Royalty slotted/drilled rotors. I have also installed a Kenwood 10 disc autochanger, and swapped the block heater for a 240volt unit.
I have run this truck on biodiesel for approx 4 years out of the time that I have owned it, with only a couple of minor problems.
Planned future mods,
Magnaflow exhaust, Big 'G' mileage module, Snipertuning ecu tune, Autometer gauges, Airchime horn, Ceramic disc pads, Trans filter, engine bypass filter.
Front factory fogs, and intend to upgrade to led bulbs .
And many others of course !

The '94 is a project, it only really needed a bit of tidying, and some rust treatment when I bought it in '09, on E-bay, it was already in UK. Current mileage is 68,000.
However, it has turned into a full suspension/axle/chassis/brakes rebuild.
Planned mods for the future,
I have an incomplete ATS turbo kit, a Dynomax exhaust, Dick Cepek rims, polybush body and suspension bushes,new shocks. some Autometer and splitfire gauges, air tank, train horn, to be fitted, the fuel system to be reworked, and lots of rewiring to do.
If anyone had wondered about the matt green paint, it was previously owned by the U.S.A.F. and used on an airbase over here before being sold off.
Another previous owner had chopped the fuel system about to run it on Veg oil. I have removed this system and will run it on Biodiesel.

I welcome any questions and comments.
Gary.
