Berryville, Virginia, United States

1997 Ford F-350, 4x4, Crew Cab, 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel, Auto Transmission. Great solid truck. Truck is a beast!
In 2008 I inherited a minivan. In 2010 it was obvious when we had a kid that we needed a 4x4 for our gravel, long, hilly, north facing, last driveway to melt in the county. Before kid we could always walk out of the snow. I was looking for a smaller half ton truck but someone wanted a minivan and he had this truck. The rest is history. Now we have two kids and face the reality the truck is too big for my wife and more then we need. Truck has not been stopped in the snow. Truck is almost entirely unmolested and stock. It has Superwinch manual hubs. Very good mechanically with following exceptions: AC is not cold (new problem have not researched problem possible freon), power windows are inconsistent, cruise control will cut off, driver's seat is torn. The truck had a front right quarter panel repaired due to accident. Back corner of bed has dent. Truck was well maintained before I purchased. The auto tranny was rebuilt and installed by Ford dealer in Woodstock, VA. Paperwork regarding specs for the tranny rebuild is incomplete. Just before I purchased it also received a new fuel filter and air filter. Mechanical since I bought the truck: Regular oil changes (Shell Rotella 15W-40) not listed in this list June 2010 179,617 flush rad pulled turbo apart and reseal repack front wheel bearings new front pads, rotors, hardware, front hub seals, caliper slides, and repacked bearings July 2010 179,966 New brake line along rail and brake fluid flush July 2010 front end alignment July 2011 183,567 Four new Dunlop tires stock size and alignment August 2012 187,976 new fuel filter flush radiator November 2012 188,538 new intermediate steering shaft November 2012 188,662 two new batteries July 2013 190,484 fuel filter IPR valve December 2013 192,584 Crank position sensor March 2014 193,546 fuel filter restriction switch neutral safety switch It will need an oil change soon and the AC needs attention (please see note above) This truck and generation of truck will go down as one of the top five or top three trucks ever produced by Ford. This generation Ford truck is up there with the 1956 Ford pickup and the 1970s Ford Highboys for legendary Ford trucks. The 1997 is the last year with this body style, has the legendary 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel, and is a crew cab. The F-250 and F-350 kept the existing body style for 1997. The F-150 had a major body style change in 1997. The F-250 and F-350 changed in 1998. Disclaimers - You are welcome and encouraged to see the truck in person. Cash or bank check only. No personal checks or pay pal. Truck is for sale locally and ebay auction might end. $500.00 deposit is required within three days. Truck has to be paid in full within seven days of sale. Short term storage is offered if truck is paid for in full. Please email me with any questions. We are going to miss this truck! Our two boys (age two and five) love it. Our oldest calls it Freight Train Buggy after the bluegrass song Freight Train Boogy. He loves trains and since it has a diesel engine like trains he loves it! It is obvious it is more truck then we need a half ton will do for us. I have owned numerous trucks and vans and this is without a doubt the strongest! Thanks for looking at the auction! |

Ford Mustang EcoBoost has fake engine soundtrack
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost represents a huge change for the Blue Oval as the first pony car in decades to be available with a four-cylinder engine. But a recent tweet (below) from Road & Track raised our curiosity about the new vehicle. Editor Jason Cammisa pulled a fuse while driving the latest 'Stang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, and he found that both the stereo and engine went quiet in the cabin. That indicated the coupe might have some form of artificial engine sound being piped in - a feature not previously heavily reported for the model. Autoblog spoke with Ford engineer Shawn Carney who confirmed that only the turbocharged four-cylinder Mustang comes with this system, called Active Noise Control.

2015 Ford F-150 enters production
Wed, 12 Nov 2014Ford has given the F-150 a dramatic makeover for 2015, switching to an aluminum body that helps reduce weight by about 700 pounds. Because the truck is dramatically different, Ford also had to change the way it makes the F-150, so we went inside its sprawling factory in Dearborn, MI, this week to see the Blue Oval's new manufacturing techniques in action.
The company has added 850 jobs at the site and upgraded its stamping and tool and die facilities. The body shop is also modernized, and it has been fitted with 500 new robots that join the structures together. The first 2015 F-150 rolled off the line on Tuesday, and the trucks will begin arriving in dealerships in December. Get a closer look at the F-150's unique assembly process in our video.
