This is a high mileage Pennsylvania vehicle with all the associated rust you would expect. I would fix the rust (I was quoted $3,000) if I could still get the waste vegetable oil to run it, but I have run into supply problems. If I could drive it on the WVO a repair like that could effectively be paid for in a year. Mechanically it is sound. The 7.3 Powerstroke diesel is a great engine, and it starts and runs great, has enough power to pull the largest trailer with its class 3 hitch.

The turbocharger and waste gate was replaced shortly after I bought it in Florida in 2008 and brought it back to PA. I just put new brake calipers, rotors and pads on the rear for June inspection. The alternator was replaced 3 months ago, and the starter last year. The transmission was rebuilt last summer by Vic's Transmissions in Elysburg, PA and has a three year warranty. The first year is 100% parts & labor and ends on 8/16/2014. The second year is 70% parts & labor and ends on 8/16/2015. The third year is 50% parts & labor and ends on 8/16/2016. The air conditioning was recharged a month ago, and blows cold. I replaced the electric fuel pump last week and both the Fleetguard filter and the stock fuel filter are new. New Pennsylvania state inspection expires June 2015.

The waste oil conversion was done by Full Circle Fuels in Oberlin, OH and has been trouble free with proper maintenance. This conversion features a custom diesel tank that nestles within the frame rails and preserves ground clearance. The stock tank is used for vegetable oil and has a heated pickup tube, piped to the switching valve and the Fleetguard fuel filter pictured with a heating blanket. In the winter I also use an insulated wrap over the heating blanket for added insurance. There are two fuel filler caps, a spin-on for the diesel and the factory cap for WVO. It's not necessary to run it on WVO, you can simply buy the diesel fuel, and drive it like normal. But what's the fun of that?

The 4WD works, tires have good tread, headlights were replaced with high-output halogen bulbs last winter. Like I said, there is rust, mainly the rocker panels. But it's been a good truck and has some good miles in it yet for the right buyer. Please ask any questions that aren't clear, and I will be happy to send additional photos on request.

I require a $1,000 deposit at close of auction by PayPal only. The balance is due on pick-up within 10 days and must be cash, money order or cashier's check. There is a notary here in my town that will finalize everything. If you aren't satisfied with the truck at time of pick-up, a full refund of your deposit will be given. Delivery is available, I will drive it to you within a reasonable distance for the cost of the fuel.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R named Road & Track Performance Car of the Year

Mon, Nov 9 2015

With a 526-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 that roars to 8,250 rpm, it's really hard to consider the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R an underdog in any fight. However, the Shelby held the lowest as-tested price and was only middle of the pack in terms of power in Road & Track's 2016 Performance Car of the Year challenge. The 'Stang's numbers clearly didn't tell the whole story about the potent coupe because Ford's muscle car grabbed the title in this year's test. A model needs to be new or significantly updated to be eligible for the honor, and R&T found an impressive slate of eight candidates this year. The challengers included the Bentley Continental GT3-R, Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper ACR, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Porsche Cayman GT4. The Ferrari 488 GTB was the most expensive of the bunch with an as-tested price of $347,942, which is five times more than the Shelby. Once the group was together, R&T hustled them over curving roads and on the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park. There was a lot to love about the Shelby, even in this impressive crew. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," editor-in-chief Larry Webster said in the announcement of the results. The GT350R joins some great company. Past winners include the Porsche 911 GT3 last year and the Corvette in 2013. For some fantastic photography and the complete appraisal of these performance machines check out R&T's website for the full story.

The article appears in the December/January issue, on newsstands November 17, and on RoadandTrack.com. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," said Larry Webster, editor-in-chief of Road & Track. "Not only does the car have soul and harness so much firepower with such ease, but the real achievement here is that it's so approachable. It's a car you can't help but love." The Mustang Shelby GT350R was the winner by a runaway vote.

Ken Block and friends race light in silly-beautiful Castrol commercial

Wed, 28 May 2014

How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.
