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

2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Your Mileage May Vary
As difficult as it is to write this, I was actually excited about the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid. With the beautiful looks of the newest midsize fighter from Ford and a fuel economy estimate capable of shaming even the stalwart Camry Hybrid, the battery-augmented four-door seemed like a recipe for unabashed success. But appearances love nothing more than swapping our boundless enthusiasm for cold platters of disappointment. The 2013 Fusion Hybrid gets hobbled right out of the gate with a lofty price tag, and real-world driving keeps the sedan from even approaching those EPA figures.
With so many excellent midsize hybrids on the market, is there any reason to consider the newest Fusion Hybrid? Are sharp aesthetics, a well-executed interior and capable driving dynamics enough to overcome the machine's shortfalls? Not from where I'm standing.

Ford EcoSport Storm concept swallows a Raptor in Sao Paulo

Sun, 02 Nov 2014

Ford rolled into the Sao Paulo Motor Show with some pretty cool crossovers in tow, the awesomest of all being the EcoSport Storm concept shown above, which draws its inspiration directly from the F-150 SVT Raptor. It packs a lower grille clearly derived from the now-famous muscle truck, as well as a Blue Storm paint job, black and silver trim, special graphics, lower body cladding and 215/75 R15 off-road tires. Don't go holding your breath for a supercharged V8, though; made locally in Brazil, India and Thailand, the tiny EcoSport is typically powered by a three- or four-cylinder engine.
The Storm isn't the only specially prepared Ecosport on show, however, joined as it is by another pair called Beauty and the Beast. Beauty is decked out in matte copper with a black roof, LED fog lamps, 18-inch wheels with low-profile tires and an interior complete with four individual bucket seats, leather upholstery and a full multimedia suite. The Beast, meanwhile, takes a sportier approach with a white pearl finish, blue and orange trim and three-bar grille. It also wears 18-inch wheels and LED fog lamps, but its interior swaps out its rear seats for a bike rack.
Joining the EcoSport show cars was an Edge crossover equipped with all the latest technologies and done up in bright red with three-bar grille, bulging hood, and an interior featuring 10-inch touchscreens and leather upholstery. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
