 Up for sale today is my 1988 Ford E350 / F350 Ford Dually. This is a factory conversion truck that is extremely rare. This truck was built by Centurian Conversions and this model is called a "DREAMER". This is a very nice truck, there was one of these recently restored on Counting Cars at the Counts Customs shop and it cost $15,000 to restore it. This one is already done and it's beautiful. These trucks are about as heavy duty as they come, they were built on an ambulance chassis and they are very tough. The entire inside of the truck bed is made from plate steel and has been coated with some sort of Line-x type of coating.

There were very few of these made and this one is a true survivor. The paint is in excellent condition and the interior is very nice as well. The interior was completely redone about 4 years ago. At the time of the interior restoration there was also new engine also installed and it has approximately 5,000 miles on it since the replacement. The original engine had a Banks Turbo installed on it and a repair shop turned the boost up to high on it and ruined the original engine, forcing the replacement. The new engine is a 7.3 International Diesel. This truck is an automatic and it has an optional GEARING VENDORS OVERDRIVE kit installed on it. I haven't figured out how to get the overdrive to work though. I was told that when the new engine was installed the mechanic left something disconnected and it hasn't worked since. I'm guessing it's just a wire, but I'm not a diesel mechanic.

I had some needed repairs done due to the truck sitting for a while before I bought it (new injector lines, some A/C work, New Alternator, and a few more things). This truck should be good to go now.

I can tell you that this truck runs pretty well, as I recently drove it about 1,200 miles and it did very well and the AIR CONDITIONING WORKS. The Sleeper in the back is pretty comfortable for one person, but you might be able to sleep two if you snuggle. The captain chairs are comfortable with arm rests, recline and they even have a locking swivel base.

I bought this truck with the intention of starting an over the road hauling business when I was out of work. The day after I bought it though, I was called back to my old job, so now I have no use for a truck of this size. The bed of this truck is almost 10 ft. verses a standard 8 ft. truck bed.

This would be great for someone with a nice 5th Wheel Camper to tour the country with or for someone wanting to get started hauling cars or heavy trailers over the road. I'm sure the 92 GALLON auxiliary fuel tank will be very handy as well for those long cross country drives.

It has three trailer hitches... 16,000 Lb. 5th wheel, an in bed tag-along hitch, and the usual bumper trailer hitch.

All the tires are pretty new with very good tread.

Please feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.

I do have a reserve on this auction, but it is below the $6,000 BUY IT NOW price. My buy it now price is almost exactly what I have invested in this truck. Thankyou for looking and happy bidding.

Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.

2015 Ford Mustang fuel economy ratings leaked

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

Thinking about buying a new Mustang, but want to know what kind of fuel economy it'll get? Well we have our first indication as the pony-car enthusiasts over at Mustang6G.com have gotten a hold of the Monroney window stickers for a few of the new 2015 Mustang models.
Although the V8 model is not among them, we can now see how the EPA has rated those models with a half dozen pistons or less. The Mustang EcoBoost with the turbo four and a manual transmission has been rated at 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 on the highway. The V6 manual gets 17 city and 28 highway, while the V6 automatic squeezes out a bit more in the city at 19 mpg but carries the same 28 highway rating.
By way of comparison, the latest Chevy Camaro with the V6 and a stick shift gets the same 17/28 EPA rating as a similarly equipped new 'Stang, and the V6 automatic Camaro gets 18/27 (slightly behind the Ford, but if you opt for the Camaro 2LS with its V6, automatic and 2.92 rear axle ratio, you'll be looking at 19 and 30).

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla details factory expansion; Ford and SunPower raise money for Sierra Club

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Tesla has revealed the details of the upgrade of its Fremont, CA factory. One major change is the addition of a dedicated production space for the dual-motor P85D version of the Model S. Robots will be doing the battery installation on the Model S to save some time, and new export docks allow Tesla to get the cars out the door and on the way to their new owners more quickly. The new robots that move the cars around the factory have been named after X-Men characters, which makes our inner geeks smile. Check out the factory upgrade in the time-lapse video below and read more at Teslarati or at the Tesla Motors Blog. A program in Beijing for privileged registrations for EVs hasn't had much success. Of the 1,424 lottery winners, only about 30 percent went on to register an electric car despite a two-month extension of the deadline to do so. Buyers are likely discouraged by the lack of charging infrastructure, which the city hopes to ameliorate with the addition of 1,000 new charging stations by the end of the year, and by requiring new and renovated developments to set aside parking specifically for EV charging. Read more at Green Car Reports. The UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies suggests that laws designed to protect dealers and consumers are stymieing the adoption of EVs. Laws like the ones certain states have in place that block or otherwise restrict Tesla's direct-to-consumer business model are not helpful for companies that want to introduce new products to the market. They prevent companies from passing on savings to customers for whom they would likely make the difference in a purchasing decision. One possible solution would be to allow exemptions to certain selling restrictions for a certain number of vehicles sold. "This could give automakers the degree of control needed to work out kinks with early customers, develop scalable processes for supporting PEVs, and ensure that effective dealer performance standards are in place before handing the reins over to wholly independent retailers," according to UC Davis ITS. Read more at the UC Davis website. Volkswagen says its environmental program, called "Think Blue. Factory," is meeting the automaker's own sustainability targets. The main purpose of the program is to move toward eco-friendlier carmaking at each of its plants worldwide.
