:welcome1:

The Carolina guys usually get together in early October for the big all Ford Show in ILM.

Other than that, check in regularly on the Carolina Marauders forum.

You made a good choice. Are you in the service? I live in Greenville and I have a black '03. Your the only other person besides me this side of the triangle that belongs to this forum.

Judging by the HUGE list of add-ons you posted up, sounds like you found a gem! You need to get in touch with fastblackmerc to get your EATC and LCM upgrades done...there are plenty of threads on this website that explain these issues and, if you're a DIY person, write-ups on how to do it yourself.

Do you know how long ago the 410s were installed? If not or if it's been more than a year, changing the gear oil would be a good idea, unless the previous owner says this has been done.

On a sidenote, when I was stationed at Lajes Field, Azores, I caught a hop on a Marine C-130 to Cherry Point MCAS...11hr flight, but it was free! A LtCol on board and I got to chatting and he was nice enough to give me a ride to the airport in Jacksonville so I could pick up my rental car. Definitely changed my opinion about 'jar-heads'...lol.
