Selling my very loved and trusted 1997 e350 powerstroke diesel van with the legendary 7.3 motor. This van is setup for work and travel. The front cabin has a fold down seat that converts into a very comfy bed and the back is blocked off and has a metal shelf on one side. I have travelled with my tools in here to remote jobsites and still have plenty of room for sleeping cooking etc. also includes trac-rac lumber racks. A Yakima box and Yakima swing away hitch bike carrier.

The motor in this truck is very strong quiet and efficient. I track all of my mileage and my highway average is 20 MPG. The transmission is smooth and strong only light and infrequent towing with this truck though I do have an electric brake controller hooked up. Hoses and such have been changed for biodiesel compatibility. It has run amsoil synthetics in both the motor and the tranny for over 250000 miles with dual remote filters. Excellent maintenance and service history. This truck drives and stops straight.

The body is in good shape with a few dings and scratches but it is in good presentable shape. It has lived a majority of if its life in the mountains of n. Cal so very very little rust.
The interior is clean and quiet. Seats have always been covered and are in good condition. The cabin area has additional insulation in the wall. Equipped with power door locks, windows and cruise control. There is a JVC cd/mp3/ USB head unit. Also includes an infinity 10" subwoofer and amplifier.

This truck has excellent maintenance and service records/history. My mechanic says that this is the smoothest running and cleanest 7.3 he has seen. No smoke at cold starts or under throttle.

A decent amount of work within the past few years means she is ready for another 150000. New fuel pump. Filters. Alternator, fresh batteries, Thermostat water pump and radiator. Recent front end work and brakes. Tires are at 25 percent. It has the super nice billstein shocks installed last year. Aftermarket wheels. New glowplugs last year when she was getting maintenance.
Only selling due to an extended travel to Costa rica for a new project. This truck drives and runs excellent and I do not want to sell her.... but.

This truck is ready to work and / or travel.

I can provide additional photos or video to give you a accurate view of this truck.

This van is being sold as is, with NO warranty expressed or implied.

I am selling from the west coast in california. Shipping if required is sole responsibility of the Buyer. I will assist in help with coordinating shipping, meeting you in my local area or picking you up at a local airport and you can drive it home.

This truck is for sale privately and the auction may be ended early.

Payment will be a deposit of $750 dollars to Paypal within 24 hours of the close of the auction. The remaining balance will be accepted in cash or certified check at the time of vehicle pickup if in person, or cleared payment before shipping.

Ford cranks up '32 Ford body production

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

If you're going to build your own hot rod, you'll want to start with a '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe. Favored by American servicemen returning from World War II, the '32 Ford remains the very icon of the hot rod to this day. The trouble is there were only so many of them made in the first place, and finding one today can be a challenge. That's where reproduction models come in.
The aftermarket is replete with companies that will sell you a fiberglass body in the form of a '32 Ford coupe, but quality can be hit or miss. So to help meet demand among hot rod builders and enthusiasts, Ford has teamed up with United Pacific Industries to offer officially licensed body shells.
Announced at the SEMA show in November, the '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe body is made from stamped steel according to original specifications from original machinery where possible or reproduced machinery built to the same original specifications where necessary. The bodies are ready to accept vintage powertrains or crate motors from the Ford Racing catalog, and join the 9,000 other parts offered in the Ford Component Sales catalog - including similar reproduction bodies available for the 1965-70 Mustang and 1940 Ford Coupe. From there, the proverbial sky's the limit.

Ford says 70% of its models to get stop-start by 2017

Sun, 15 Dec 2013

Ford is following up on a report we posted a few weeks back that the Blue Oval would be adding stop-start technology to its entire model range. Now, the Dearborn-based automaker has announced that the fuel-saving feature would be available on 70 percent of the company's range by 2017.
Ford claims the technology will improve fuel economy by around 3.5 percent, although its actual effect will vary based on how the owner drives - apparently up to a 10-percent improvement is possible for those who sit in heavy traffic (Los Angelenos, this means you). The latest recipient of the technology is the updated 2014 Ford Fiesta with the company's three-cylinder EcoBoost powerplant.
Part of the reasoning for the new addition has to do with cost. Ford claims the tech is affordable and easy to implement. "Simply put, Auto Start-Stop helps customers use less fuel, which is an important component of Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability," Ford's global powertrain vice president, Bob Fascetti, said.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.
