If you have questions email email me at: jodeewacyk@netzero.net .
For sale is an extremely clean, accident free, low mileage, 1996 Ford F-350 Crew Cab XLT 4X4, with the legendary
7.3 Liter Powersroke Diesel Engine driving through a ZF-5 Speed Manual Transmission. This was a 1 owner truck that
I purchased from the original owner here in New Mexico. As you can see he took amazing of care of it and left the
truck completely stock other than installing a Skyjacker 4 Inch Suspension Lift Kit. All regular and routine
maintenance was always conducted by Ford Motor Company technicians, and the oil was changed every 5,000 miles. The
body of the truck is in immaculate condition, with absolutely no rust or damage anywhere. The paint is also in
great condition as well, with no major scratches or damage anywhere, but does have some very small dings, and
scuffs here and there that you would expect to see on a truck of this age. There is a very small area on the
passenger side of the bed where the clear cote has peeled a little, but over-all the paint is in great condition.
The inside of the bed is in excellent condition with absolutely no dints or damage anywhere, and has an older spray
in bed liner as well. The truck has the stock premium aluminum wheels with brand new 315X75R16 (35 Inch) Cooper STT
Mud Terrain Tires with a full warranty, and new OEM valve stems. The 7.3 Liter Powerstroke Diesel engine runs
great, and is completely stock and un-tampered with, and has never had a chip or programmer installed. A brand new
Diamond Eye 5 Inch turbo back exhaust system was just installed for better fuel economy, and lower exhaust
temperatures helping pro-long the life of the engine. The engine has absolutely no leaks or problems what-so-ever,
and is completely reliable and mechanically sound. I would not hesitate driving this truck anywhere. The engine oil
was just changed over to Royal Purple Full Synthetic 15W-40 and a K&N Oil Filter was installed. The fuel filter,
serpentine belt, and the belt tensioner assembly were also just replaced. I also purchased two rechargeable K&N Air
Cleaners to replace the stock paper filter for better fuel economy. The extra K&N Air Filter is a spare that’s
included with the truck. The drive train and 4X4 on the truck all work flawlessly and as it should. The front
differential is the highly sought after solid axle Dana 60 with premium manual locking hubs , which drives straight
down the road with no slop or play in the steering wheel. The rear differential is the heavy duty Ford Sterling
with the limited slip package. Both the front and rear differentials have a 4:10 gear ratio. The ZF-5 Speed Manual
Transmission feels like new, and shifts tight with no grinding or slop what-so-ever. The glass is all in excellent
shape on the truck other than a small crack in the front windshield caused by a rock on the highway. The interior
is in excellent shape and looks brand new with absolutely no stains, rips, or tears anywhere. The front seats are
bucket seats with the center jump seat/center console, and the rear seat is a bench seat. The dash is in excellent
shape with absolutely no cracks or splits anywhere, and has a brand new carpet dash mat from Dash Design. A new sun
visor/dash shade is also included that was custom made for the truck. The truck still has the stock Ford radio with
the tape cassette that still works great. The truck has power windows, power door locks, tilt wheel, cruise
control, a warm heater, and an ice cold air conditioner. This is a very clean, reliable, extremely hard to find
truck that has never been abused, and has always been adult owned and well maintained. These are the last of the
real diesel trucks made that were built to last. I have a complete binder of receipts for all the parts that were
purchased, as well as all the routine services that were completed on the truck that will be included at the time
of purchase

Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both
Tue, 12 Mar 2013A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years
Wed, 01 May 2013While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."
