Hello

I guess I'll introduce myself here.

I sorta have a 90 F150 4.9 E4OD (actually my dad's but I do 99.9% of maintance), out in Conyers.
I'm the gearhead of the family with my 96 XR7, that got a replacement engine in April; currently the truck is getting a headjob done after 220k+ of uneventful service (save her stalling issue).

hello bowez, welcome to FTE. Good folks here. hang around, so many just stop for a Hello (which is otay) but we would rather ya stay and hang.....

i like that 4.9! i had a 300I6 in a "74 2wd that had very large mudders on the rear with lift kit....thought it would go anywhere - a true redneck machine that would jump city curbs and bust a mule in the dirt - 'course that was back when i was in high school many moons ago... oh the lift was homemade

Conyers huh, well we'll try not to hold that against ya! j/k

have fun,

keg

Welcome

How's it going. I am new to the boards as well and have found tons of information from the guys here. I live in Atlanta but am deployed to Iraq right now and am considering buying a new Excursion PSD while I am here. Every question that I had about the Excursion has been answered in gross detail and the information that you get from reading other's threads is amazing. I have a pretty trick Explorer right now that I am almost finished with. Check out the one photo in my gallery. Cheers

What Unit you with my dad's unit (believe 118th PSC) left last week. He's being medically discharged after 23+years so he had to stay.

Ahhh...No. Not that I have a problem with Marines, I however am not one. We have a Marine FAST Company that guards the actual embassy and grounds. The majority of PSDs are comprised of Army Special Operations personnel and civilan contractors (mostly Blackwater and Dyncorp).

Welcome, bowez!

You'll find that this is a great group.

I have a '94 4.9 E4OD & am in Buford.
Bought it a few months ago with almost 220k on it & am having a ball getting it back into respectable shape.
