I am selling my 1994 E-350 diesel van. The van runs and drives, and the inspection just ran out in February. It started life as an ambulance, and was retired from ambulance service in 2004. I purchased the van from the ambulance company in 2008 and have used it as a work/hauling vehicle (and even a daily driver at some points). This is powered by the 7.3L mechanically injected naturally aspirated diesel engine produced by International Navistar for Ford. It has the E4OD overdrive automatic transmission as well as the famous Dana 60 Trac-Loc rear end (works good). When I purchased it from the ambulance company in '08 I changed all of the fluids and filters and re-painted the whole lower half of the body below the stripe. The vehicle has 279,xxx miles on it, however, the mechanic from the ambulance company estimates that there are only about 60-70,000 on the rebuilt engine and transmission. I will say that I have owned several of these 7.3L IDI N/A engines, and this is by far the smoothest, strongest running I have owned. It really does run good. Also, it appears that at some point the ambulance company had the rear springs beefed up. A trailer hitch can be bolted right on the back - the plug for trailer lights is already there and works, and it is pre-wired for a brake controller. Front tires are 50-75%, rear tires about 25%. Since I have owned it I have:
-Changed fluids and filters on a regular basis
-Replace rear wheel cylinders, checked rear brakes, replaced rear brake line (2009)
-Replaced front brake pads (2009)
-Replaced both starter solenoids
-Alternator rebuilt
-Replaced serpentine belt and idler pulleys
-Bypassed RABS valve
-New windshield
-Several parking brake cables replaced
-Replaced differential pinion bearings and seal and carrier bearings, new gear oil (2012)
-Replaced vacuum pump (2012)
-All new front brakes including new rotors, pads, calipers, and a new master cylinder. Some brake lines replaced. (2012)
-New upper and lower ball joints on the driver's side (2012)
As with most older vehicles, the unit does need some work, and I will try not to leave you with any surprises. Here is what is needs:
-It needs a new torque converter. It still runs and drives ok but it sets a transmission code occasionally and should be replaced soon. I am including a used torque converter and whole other transmission that was sold to me by the ambulance company and is said to be in good working order. The shift points also could use to be adjusted (this is done by adjusting the TPS on the injection pump).
-It needs a new radius arm bushing on the driver's side
-It needs a new pedal unit for the e-brake to work properly
-I believe it needs a new belt tensioner. May need a few other odds and ends like any other old vehicle out there.
-There is some minor rust on the rocker panels, but no rust-through. If you catch it now and sand off the rust, treat it, touch up the paint you should get many more years of service without any major repair. The frame and floors are really clean with almost no rust whatsoever!
As you can tell by reading this, if you are handy with a wrench these are mostly inexpensive repairs and you can have a solid one ton diesel van for not too much cash. Great for hauling tools, materials, towing, and more. Not too bad on fuel, either.
Obviously this vehicle is sold as-is, and you can come inspect it ahead of time if you wish. I will require $250 down payment via PayPal within 24 hours of the end of the auction, and the rest of the payment in cash in person within 10 days. Thanks for looking!

Ford Transit is America's new best-selling van
Tue, Jan 6 2015The Ford Motor Company's sales in December ticked up 1.2 percent in the US, and the automaker was down 0.5 percent for 2014. But the Blue Oval looks like it might have a real winner on its hands when it comes to its new Transit van. The recently introduced line nearly doubled its numbers during the month by delivering 10,030 units for an annual total of 20,488 examples sold. It also gave the fullsize model the title of America's bestselling van for December. Those 10,000 sales put the Transit head and shoulders above all of its competitors in the crowded commercial van market. Second place went to the Chevrolet Express with 5,611 sales in December, and the ancient Ford E-Series was third with 5,256 moved. The rest of the segment was somewhat lower, with the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter at 3,288 units for the month, Ram ProMaster at 3,036, GMC Savana with 1,725 and Nissan NV at 1,554. December also marked the second month in a row for the Transit to beat out the E-Series in sales. However, its predecessor still won overall for the year with 103,263 units moved in 2014, but it enjoyed a full calendar year of sales. According to Ford spokesperson Mike Levine, the smaller Transit Connect had its best sales month ever for December too, and the automaker has been among the sales leaders in the van segment for the last 36 years. "Clearly, sales show we're best at meeting our customers' needs," said Levine to Autoblog, who touted the model's results on Twitter and cited the Transit's numerous configurations as its biggest selling point. Ford's latest van has other plusses, too, say analysts. "The one thing the Transit has going for it is a low base price relative to the competition. Compare the base price of the Sprinter to the Transit and it is hands-down a Transit win," said Dave Sullivan, auto industry analyst at AutoPacific, to Autoblog. Purely by model name, the Transit was also the bestselling van in November, with 4,851 deliveries. However, the Chevy Express had 4,478 sales, plus 716 more from the GMC Savana. Since these two are the same model beneath the skin, as a platform, they arguably took the title for that month. With a new year already here, the Transit has a new challenge to face. "2015 will be the year that the Transit has to leave the nest, because E-Series inventories will be close to zero and Transit will have to carry all the weight," said Sullivan.
2015 Ford Mustang [w/videos]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013
It'd be unwise to bet against the sixth generation of this legendary nameplate.
The 2015 Ford Mustang is assuredly the most anticipated new vehicle of the year. The redesigned Pony Car has been the subject of frantic gossiping and covert spy photos covering everything from the way it looks to the tech it will include, its performance, mechanicals and a bevy of other aspects of Ford's performance icon.
Ford files trademark application for 'Model E'
Fri, 27 Dec 2013In early December, Ford filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Model E." Historically, Ford never produced a Model E, and while automakers are known to file for trademarks they never use, some have wondered if the application might be used for a concept car.
Based on other recent events, though, it could be a legal move. In 2000 Ford sued an online start-up called Model E over the similarity of that name to Ford's industry-shaping Model T, but the judge dismissed the case citing lack of proper grounds. In August 2013, Tesla applied for trademark registration for Model E, and at the time, Ford said it would review the application. Tesla actually made two applications for Model E, one for automobiles and structural parts therefore, the other for "providing maintenance and repair services for automobiles," and there are plenty of theories about what the name could be applied to.
The Published for Opposition date for Tesla's applications is December 31, 2013, after which anyone who thinks they'd be harmed by Tesla being granted the trademark gets 30 days to register their issues. This is just speculation, but Ford's application - which was filed for automobiles only - might be about protecting what it sees as unwelcome encroachment on the name Model T, protection it wasn't able to enforce before when the stakes were only online and much smaller.
