New to the PS game and this site. Mechanic by trade, State worker by choice, but only for a few more days. I retire in 42 working days!
So, in the interest of being an old retired guy and traveling the country, I found a 2002 F350 Lariat, CCLB, SRW with 240K miles. I have been watching this truck for about 10 years, even borrowed it a time or two for some heavy lifting. It has needed a few small maintenance items over the last few weeks, and still a few more I'm working out. Last week I bought a 42' 5th wheel and towed it about 250 miles home. The list of repairs and mods grew exponentially on that ride home!
Before I went after the trailer I changed all the shocks and steering stabilizer, added the 3 in 1 boost, Trans temp, and EGT gauge, Billet compressor wheel, intercooler hoses, wheel bearing, clock spring, ball joints, new tires, and alignment. A quick trip into the Arizona sun last weekend necessitated a recharge on the A/C, and I picked up some tint for the front windows.
Looking forward to the new journey in life with the truck and trailer, and lots of insight from this forum!
