Howdy Board! I purchased my first truck last week and it was a F-150 and I love It! I have been lurking around since then and have found this site to be awesome! There is so much info here i do not know were to start. I have read alot of info on Mods to the V6 and plan to do as soon as positive cash flow hits the check Book. I am new to the truck world and glad it was a Ford I purchased! Well here it is in your lingo My Truck:

Congratulations. Thanks to this website I've managed to increase the MPG on my truck from 14 MPG to 16.5 MPG city and 19.5 hwy.

I suggest you create a "signature" so all the pertinent data on your truck shows everytime you post a message on the board. Also keep track of your mileage. This is a big issue at this site.
