Brand New Truck Owner from MO

Stevo_Inco · Sep 1, 2014

Hi all,

I just bought my '01 F350 7.3 Powerstroke (270k miles) about 3 months ago. I've never owned a Powerstroke, a diesel, or even a truck before, so this is a very new experience for me.

Unfortunately, my story begins with a bit of heartache. I had the truck for about a month before my HPOP started squirting oil, and the truck would barely run. I haven't given up yet, (even after trying to fix it myself and making some mistakes), but I've learned a lot more about this engine than I ever thought I would in 3 months of ownership. I still love the truck... But I'll love it even more when it's back on its feet (tires).

Independence (Suburb of KC).

Webb06, how did you fair during the tornado a few years back? I was in Colorado when that happened, and it was big news even there.

Yellow1000, what part?

I live about 15 miles south of Joplin but our diesel shop was about 1 mile south of the 2 mile wide tornado path. Joplin was pretty leveled but now it's rebuilt quite a bit and cleaned up.
