1996 F250 4X4 with only 36,000 miles! I purchased this truck for my landscaping and snow removal business about 5 years ago at which time it needed an engine replacement. I purchased a factory new, not rebuilt 5.8L engine, only find out they had sold me a high output marine version complete with GT40 heads! I had the engine installed, and some brake work done for a little over $2600. The body has a legit 36,000 +- miles on it, and the engine has about 4,000. The truck was ordered with the plow/tow package complete with 4.10 gears and a limited slip rear end. It is a little rusty, but not too late to take care of it. There's plenty of tread left in the tires.The truck runs and drives well, but needs a transmission pan and gasket (about $150.), a front fuel tank, muffler, battery and a rear bumper would be nice. The mount for the plow is broken, and there is no plow or wiring included. The check engine light turns on and off. I was told when they put the engine it that it might be due to the elimination of the emissions system which is not required due to the GVW of 8600 lbs. Truck has been advertised locally therefore is subject to sale outside of eBay provided a bid has not been accepted.

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.

GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings
Thu, 31 Jul 2014The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.
