This auction is starting at half of the value of the reman Ford Powerstroke engine alone, so have fun. A couple of guys are looking at this as a donor for their truck, so I didn't do any of our usual pretty work to it. Careful!!! No Reserve; Anybody bids; the pickup will sell. We reserve the right to end the auction and sell to the highest bidder or to take an offer and end the auction. If you want and can afford the vehicle: thanks for your bid. Great work truck. Starts smooth and quick on all eight. Shifts correctly and solid, steers good, actually rides good. This truck is a pleasure to drive. Unit has no rust on the truck itself. Service body has a left door that is rusty. Don't know the story. That is how it is. There is also some old history inside the right rear compartment on the service body. The 7.3 is a Ford Remanufactured unit. Don't know the story on that either, but it is still shiny and it starts and runs great. Heat is hot and fast. AC is cold and holds a charge. Speedo, Tach, gauges, cruise, stereo(not a Bose), CB, and lights work. Has brake control. Fuel gauge occasionally floats around. All I have done to it mechanically was replace a bad glow plug relay so it would start right. Can park on my concrete without drooling fluids. Body is pretty straight for what it is. Some small dings, mainly down low on doors. Windshield is good. Interior is nice. Seat under the Cabelas seat cover is shot on the usual place on the left side. I put extra foam in it when I put the cover on. Sets comfy. Holds stuff in the back. Jack and spare tire tools all appear to be there. Can't find the spare though. Doors fit tight, shut right. Windows roll up easy and tight. Doesn't have strange rattles or squeaks. Doors on utility body fit good, close right. Tires are round, black, and hold air. If you are going to drive it a long ways home; I would recommend better ones. They are the 235 85 16 size on it. If you would like this as a pickup instead of a work truck, we can do that. We have a rust free pickup box, tailgate, and bumper that matches this truck in color and condition. It is available for $1,000 installed after the truck is paid for. Truck comes with clean Colorado title. Pickup from bus stop in Ogallala, Nebraska or DIA shuttle stop in Sterling, CO is $50 cash to whoever we con into making the drive.
No rush on picking the unit up. We don't charge a daily storage fee. Settle up and let us know when you are picking it up. We don't worry about it for 6 months or so. Check U-Ship for commercial delivery. Truck is approx. 19' long, 7 1/2' wide, and 6' high. These weigh in around 7000 pounds.

2015 Ford F-150 [w/videos]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014To learn more about the all-new 2015 F-150 and get an early read on its potential hero-or-zero status, we flew to the heart of full-size pickup truck country, San Antonio, TX, to spend a day driving, towing and playing in the mud with an assortment of Ford's innovative new trucks.
First, a caveat - while we feel we have a reasonably good handle on the new F-150 after attending this first-drive event, we are far from ready to pass definitive judgment on the success of this radically new rig. Our time in the various models was lamentably limited and we felt rushed. With so much at stake and with so much to talk about and experience, we had zero alone time with the vehicle - there were Ford folks shadowing us at every moment.
And we still don't know everything there is to know about the trucks, as Ford is withholding some of its most crucial numbers, including curb weight data and anticipated EPA fuel economy figures. We don't even have a firm on-sale date. All of this information is typically disclosed - or at least officially estimated - at the time of a new vehicle's first drive. This limits the scope of the judgments we feel comfortable making based on our first encounter.
New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'
Sun, 08 Jun 2014Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.
Is it time for American carmakers to give up on dual-clutch transmissions? [w/poll]
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Last week, in the midst of Detroit's first days seeking relief in Chapter 9 of the bankruptcy code, Automotive News contributor Larry P. Vellequette penned an editorial suggesting that American car companies raise the white flag on dual clutch transmissions and give up on trying to persuade Americans to buy cars fitted with them. Why? Because, Vellequette says, like CVT transmissions, they "just don't sound right or feel right to American drivers." (Note: In the article, it's not clear if Vellequette is arguing against wet-clutch and dry-clutch DCTs or just dry-clutch DCTs, which is what Ford and Chrysler use.) The article goes on to state that Ford and Chrysler have experimented with DCTs and that both consumers and the automotive press haven't exactly given them glowing reviews, despite their quicker shifts and increased fuel efficiency potential compared to torque-converter automatic transmissions.
Autoblog staffers who weighed in on the relevance of DCTs in American cars generally disagreed with the blanket nature of Vellequette's statement that they don't sound or feel right, but admit that their lack of refinement compared to traditional automatics can be an issue for consumers. That's particularly true in workaday cars like the Ford Focus and Dodge Dart, both of which have come in for criticism in reviews and owner surveys. From where we sit, the higher-performance orientation of such transmissions doesn't always meld as well with the marching orders of everyday commuters (particularly if drivers haven't been educated as to the transmission's benefits and tradeoffs), and in models not fitted with paddle shifters, it's particularly hard for drivers to use a DCT to its best advantage.
Finally, we also note that DCT tuning is very much an evolving science. For instance, Autoblog editors who objected to dual-clutch tuning in the Dart have more recently found the technology agreeable in the Fiat 500L. Practice makes perfect - or at least more acceptable.
