1995 2wd F250 with a 7.3L Powerstroke
Single Cab, Long Box, with dual tanks. Pretty much bone stock. Spent most of its life as a fleet vehicle. I've put on about the last 35K miles or so.

I replaced the carpet, seat, radio, headliner, and window weather stripping when I got the truck. I put down Frost King insulation over rubberized undercoating to help kill sound in the cab, then laid down new carpet with mass backing from Stockinteriors.com, and it works pretty well. Truck has a DIN style CD/DVD player. It doesn't have the flip up screen, just the small single screen, but the built in GPS does work. My smart phone is quicker, but it does do a decent job.

I replaced the Transmission last january and its got around 10K on it since then. I had paperwork on the job, but can't find it.  I do know when AAMCO rebuilt they also replaced the torque converter and added a shift kit tailored for daily driving and towing.  It drives and shifts very smoothly.


I rebuilt most of the outer front end last spring, to include the driver's side spindle, all new bearings and seals, new hubs, new discs, new brake pads, new calipers, and new lines.  I also replaced the rear hard and soft lines.  The rear brakes are currently not connected.  One of the bleeder zerts snapped off, so the line is capped.  I have included in the sale a new brake cylinder, I just never got around to installing it. 

Just put two new batteries in the truck back in August, the AC pump with a recharge and a new serpentine belt in July, and the vacuum pump back in May.

It has normal wear and tear, a little salt rust,, and plenty of life left in her.


The truck runs great for what it is: a 15 y.o. work truck with a nice radio and almost 300,000 miles. it'll give someone a good work truck, camp truck, wood druck, or first truck for a low price. The rear tires are great, and the front ones are showing wear.  I'll also include three spares on good rims.  The tires are a run-at-your-own-risk type of item, but the rims are good and hold air if someone wanted a summer and winter set.

I'm also including with the truck the Haynes, Chilton, and Diesel tech manuals. They were a valuable resource when I was doing maintenance.


Now for the bad:

The glow plugs don't work.  The truck starts and runs great in the summer, if its plugged in (it has a block heater), or with a shot of stating fluid.  I don't know if its the plugs or the solenoid.  I always kept it plugged in, so I didn't notice it until a particularly late day at work. 

The volt meter does not register.  I can show with a multi-meter that the alternator is charging, but the gauge isn't sweeping.  Not sure why.

The cable selector switch between the dash and the air box is not working, so the air is either all the way to warm, or all the way to cold.  I can show the buyer how I bypassed this issue, but its kind of difficult to explain without hands-on demonstration. 


I would have no issues driving the truck cross country.  It runs well, is comfortable and surprisingly quiet, and got decent mileage for a large vehicle. 


The truck is for sale locally as well, and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for a buyer.  This is a no reserve auction.  If you bid, and are the high bidder, you will own it.  I expect 500 non-refundable deposit via paypal with 24 hours, and the remainder via cash or cashier's check when the buyer picks it up. 

 

Sellers with recent negative, or less than 15 feedback must contact me prior to bidding or risk having their bids cancelled. I will respond to any questions and provide my phone number for any questions asked through ebay.

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles.  The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.

2020 Ford Escape, Lincoln Corsair ace crash tests, earn Top Safety Pick from IIHS

Fri, Nov 15 2019

The redesigned 2020 Ford Escape and its platform-mate, the 2020 Lincoln Corsair, have both just completed their bout of crash tests at the hands of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and while they did not emerge unscathed, they did come away with the agency's Top Safety Pick Award. One caveat: The rating only applies to the Escape equipped with the available LED headlights, which were deemed Acceptable. Similarly, the Corsair needs the available curve-adaptive LED headlights, also rated Acceptable, in order to achieve Top Safety Pick. The Escape's standard halogen headlights scored only a Marginal rating, while the Corsair's base LED headlights were deemed Poor due to glare. Those low headlight ratings knock the vehicles out of contention for Top Safety Pick. Had either vehicle offered headlights able to achieve a Good rating, that would have been enough to get them the agency's Top Safety Pick+ rating. Outside of their headlights, the 2020 Escape and Corsair acquitted themselves well. The Escape saw a big improvement in the difficult small-overlap front crash test, going from a Poor result in the previous generation to Good with the new one. The Corsair performed identically, and both achieved Good ratings in all six crash tests. The IIHS also tests automatic emergency-braking systems, and the standard and optional systems in the Escape and the Corsair both earned Superior ratings.

Ford F-150 pulls semi truck through snow-clogged Chicago streets

Wed, Feb 4 2015

Earlier this week, the Midwest was crippled by a massive snowstorm that dumped a foot or more of powder in some areas. The result was, of course, transportation gridlock. It's a fortunate thing for this stranded semi-truck driver, then, that a Ford F-150 EcoBoost stumbled upon him. Despite a tow rating of just over 11,000 pounds, the four-wheel-drive, turbocharged pickup managed to dislodge the big rig from a snow-covered street. Of course, the Ford didn't get the semi moving all on its own – watch the video towards the end and the semi was quite clearly spinning its rear tires. Still, it's an impressive feat that we've little doubt F-Series fans are celebrating. Related video:
