This is a 1992 Ford F350 with the 7.3L diesel engine with 4X4 and it's a crew cab. It took me a very long time to find a truck that had all these options prior to me buying it. When I found the truck it was located in southern TX, I flew down and drove it all the way home. Here in MI is is very hard to find a truck that isn't eaten away with rust and this one is in really great shape. I have driven it daily throughout the past 3 years and it has never left me stranded anywhere. We are moving and I can't get all my stuff to the other side of the country so this has to go, and I'm really bummed by having to sell it.

Here are the good points to the truck:

3/0 battery cables that were put in about a year ago
2 new batteries that were put in about 2 months ago
Electric fuel pump put in a mont ago (Dura Lift about $250 worth of new parts)
Transfer case rebuilt in February
New carrier bearing 2 months ago
Tires are in fair shape
Engine has run great
Glow plugs are in good shape
Installed manual glow plug button
Transmission works properly
Rear seat and cab is in really good shape
Proper coolant has been run in this truck (I use fleet guard)
Good block heater
Its been very reliable (I am a firefighter and use it to make runs from home)

Here are the bad points of the truck:

284+K miles, the truck still runs great though
Power steering hoses leak
Tranny coolant lines are leaking (not much but I would replace them the next time I flushed the coolant)
The headlights suck (replaced the originals with some cheap clear lens ones and they are not that good)
There is a tear in the drivers side seat
Glow plug relay (I'm guessing this is the issue) works when it wants
There are two clearance lights that the lens are broken on
The paint is horrible (the old paints just weren't formulated very well) You can see in the pictures that there isn't much clear coat
There is a dent in the hood from what appears that someone tried to shut the hood while the hinge was locked in the open position
The front bumper has a dent and is also rusted through on one corner
The interior light works sometimes when you open the door but not at other times
The door locks don't work for all doors
There appears to be some bondo in the drivers door
There is rust in the bottom corners of both fenders
The mirror switch for auto mirrors is not working (this just started in the past couple weeks)
Someone cut a hole in the bed for what I'm guessing was going to be a stack exhaust
The dash has many cracks
The vent slats are all non functional
The door panels all are in need of either being replaced or worked on
Drivers side seat belt doesn't fully retract
The rear gas tank I have never used because the previous owner told me that it didn't work, and I have never looked into it
Dents and scratches

I'm sure I have missed both some good points and some bad points so ask about anything that you might have questions about. If you're asking yourself why would you be interested in this truck, I will tell you why I bought it and why I hate seeing it go. I think this is one of the best F body trucks of all time. I needed an option to haul my wife and four kids in the winter and this truck could hold everyone and being 4X4 it could make it through the snow. The 7.3 naturally aspired is slow but it just keeps going. This truck has been rock solid for me, I don't know if anyone had done any work to the engine prior to me owning it but seems like it has many miles left in it. All the guys at the fire department love this truck and many of them want to buy it but they are firefighters and don't have any money. There is very little to be done to keep this truck functional. The body and interior could use some work but it hasn't bothered me. I feel safe in this truck.

Due to the age of the truck I can't promise you that it will run forever or offer any type of warranty. Because I am moving across the country the truck will need to be picked up no later than May 3rd unless we have worked out some type of arrangement prior to the end of the auction. The hitch isn't included in the auction but there is a diamond plate tool box that does go with the truck.

'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."

Ford Escort returns... as a concept

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Ford is kickin' it old school at the Shanghai Motor Show for 2013 with a new Escort Concept - "a name that stirs up thoughts of basic, affordable transportation rather than great driving dynamics or bold design" as we said in our initial preview of the small C-segment sedan. Or, as Ford puts it, "Customers in China described seeking a vehicle that is stylish - but not one that is arrogant or pretentious." Potato, potahto...
It's an interesting amalgam of design notes with Ford's recent and stylish hexagonal grille up front, flanked by some pretty busy LED light clusters and chrome-trimmed air intakes at the lower extremities of the fascia, but the Escort Concept is not altogether unattractive. Besides its external appearance, we really don't have much information to report - Ford has not yet hinted at what may be powering this little machine, but we'd expect something with four cylinders and less that 2.0 liters of displacement sending a modest number of horses to the front tires.
It probably goes without saying, but we don't expect to see this Escort make its way to the United States, since we already have the Focus and the Fiesta battling it out in the econobox segment. That said, it's very likely to spawn a production model that will roll out here in China and in other developing market where multiple C-segment entries are becoming increasingly common. Check out our high-res image gallery of live images above, and let us know what you think of the car's styling, then scroll down below for the official press release.

Ford dominates most-stolen SUV list

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

The Ford Escape leads the NICB's list with 1,421 examples stolen.
If you drive a recent Ford SUV or crossover, you may want to keep a watchful eye out for thieves - especially if you live in the New York metro area or in Detroit. A new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau has named three Ford models as the most likely vehicles in their genre to be stolen, with CUVs in general being especially attractive to bandits.
