For sale is a 97 F250 with the 7.3L diesel and auto trans. This pickup runs great, the transmission shifts nice and solid, mechanically sound pickup. I have owned this pickup since it had 81,000 miles and it has been a solid pickup. It has a lift and 35x12.50 R18 General Grabber tires on Moto Metal wheels. I bought the wheels and tires about two years ago but they only have around 7,000 miles on them. It has an onboard 12 volt air compressor, 3 gallon tank and air bags on the rear for towing. K&N cold air intake, I had the exhaust straight piped and when I replaced the transmission around 8,000 miles ago (due to the stock one starting to slip) I replaced the stock pancake downpipe with a 3.5 inch round downpipe. It has an Edge 60 hp 100 ft lb module. This pickup has some minor body damage, there is a spot on the front driver fender on the bottom with a little spot of paint peel, there is a few scratches down the driver side on the rear of the bed and a dent on the extended cab, none of which are hugely noticeable. The interior is in good shape for a 16 year old pickup. All the seats and carpet are in good shape the only cracks on the dash are on that soft pad on the passenger side the same spot every ford in that body style crack, they're not too bad. It has a nice stereo system in it, was real good in its day but I'm sure there is better out there now. It still sounds good. Pioneer deck, two MTX 10 inch sub woofers with amp and all four of the stock speakers have been replaced with Infinity speakers. Under the dash are the controls to add or release air from the rear air bags. The power door locks and power windows all work like they're suppose to.

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.
F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.
