Well, perhaps naming the thread JJ is stretching it a little (or a lot) :-)

New to the woods and the hills in Northern California, new to truck owning as well. Bought a state owned 2001 bi-fuel F150 7700 5.4L 4x4 with 126K miles so that I can do chores here year round without getting stuck in the mud and the snow on the higher elevations.

The CNG tank has been removed, and I expect at some point to remove the old (came with the truck, installed by GFI) CNG system altogether so as to un-clutter under the hood. Some readers will undoubtedly feel that it is worth keeping the CNG system, but the tank took up too much of the 6.5' bed, and I believe in simplicity over complexity most of the time.

Anyway, I've read a lot of posts on the forums here and I'm very impressed by the level of knowledge, the questions and the answers - expecting to learn a lot from long-time truck owners.

First post wouldn't be complete without a couple of pics:








RackIt taken off so that I can get it into the garage for some work

One side of coils and plugs is buried under all that...

 

Welcome Pilgrim. Good to have you here. The J Johnson certainly caught my attention. One of my favorite movies.

 

Mine too. But the book 'Crow Killer' was even better than the movie.

 

I will have to look for that.

 

Yep, the movie is currently in my Netflix DVD queue - DVDs are better up here where wireless streaming can be uneven.

The book is good, and Johnson was merciless.

Thanks for the welcome!
