1996 Ford F-250 7.3L Powerstroke OBS Crew Cab 4x4

I purchased this truck from the previous owner with what was claimed to be 156,000 miles. After doing extensive research through various Department of Motor Vehicle agencies, it was determined that the previous owner had rolled back the odometer. I have all the documentation to support this. Since purchasing the truck, I have put about 2,000 miles on it. I believe the truck has roughly 208,000 miles on it. The odometer currently reads 158,000 miles. 

While owning the truck, I have repaired some of the most commonly known issues found in the 7.3L Powerstroke engine. It has a current Virginia state inspection. The truck is very clean, both inside and out. It runs extremely strong, pulls hard through all of the gears, rides smooth and straight, and turns heads whenever I take it out for a drive. I absolutely love the truck and baby it, but I am downsizing and no longer need a third vehicle. 

Below is a list of what I have done to the truck since I purchased it a few years back. All work that has been performed on the truck has been done by a diesel specialty shop and is fully documented with receipts. 

  • Bed liner
  • Over-the-rail bed cover
  • Repaired loose dipstick
  • Installed new transmission pan gasket
  • Installed four (4) new 16x8 teflon coated wheels (less than 1,000 miles)
  • Installed four (4) new Nitto Terra Grappler tires 285/75/R16 (less than 1,000 miles)
  • Installed new Ford Motor Company fuel injector control module and connectors
  • Installed new fuel filter
  • Installed new K&N air filter
  • Installed eight (8) new Accurate Diesel glow plugs
  • Installed new Accurate Diesel glow plug relay
  • Installed new valve cover gaskets
  • Installed new valve cover pigtail harnesses

2015 Ford F-150 appearance guide takes the truck from mild to wild with options

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

We already know that the 2015 Ford F-150 has a base price coming in at just $395 more than the 2014 model, despite all of the new standard tech and aluminum-intensive construction in the upcoming version. Now the Blue Oval is finally giving us an idea of what that extra money actually buys customers, with the release of the appearance guide for its latest pickup.
The guide basically explains everything you could want to know about what changes occur among the multitude of trims on the 2015 F-150. There are five levels for the new truck. Although, that is something of a misnomer because most of them are also available with either Sport or Chrome packages, plus the FX4 Off-Road option with Hill Descent Control, an electronic-locking rear axle, off-road shocks and skid plates. With 13 available colors, including 4 new ones, and 14 wheel designs in various sizes, pickup buyers should have no problem specing one to fit their style.
The lineup starts out with the base XL with a black grille and fascia and 17-inch wheels. However, across most of the range the Sport and Chrome packages are also available to add either body-color or chrome accents, respectively. Next up is the XLT with a standard chrome grille but also available with a black, billet-style one with a body-color surround. Things really start getting plush with the Lariat model with leather trim, a three-bar front end and 18-inch wheels. The King Ranch sticks with that look but adds power running boards, 20-inch wheels and two-tone paint. Finally, the top-dog Platinum is all about bling with yet another frontal design, chrome door handles and mirror caps, a big logo running across the tailgate and more.

This 2,000-hp Mustang is in serious need of wheelie bars

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

The Ford Mustang on the right is drag racing with the standard technique. The Mustang on the left, driven by David Measell, is using a new "rear bumper only" technique that evidently surprised everyone at the South Georgia Motorsports Park strip - including Measell.
Measell said his outfit just bought the car the week before the event, noting that it has more than 2,000 horsepower. Speaking of his "flying" run, Measell said, "We turned it up to dip on down," by which he meant they turned up the power in order to get his time down. Turns out all that power and all that traction sent the nose straight up into the air almost as soon as the race began.
He told an interviewer afterward that this was his first race in a "regular car" since he normally drives a pro-mod. "I like my wheelie bars," he concluded. You can see how he got there in the video below.

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
