This dump truck was a D.O.T. vehicle, so it was very well maintained mechanically. It has the dependable 7.3L powerstroke diesel with only 104,000 miles, 5speed manual transmission, and it runs and drives great. It was just inspected and is good until 9/2014. It has 2 fuel tanks. A brand new metal side tank, and a plastic rear tank. It is very basic as far as options. It is not equipped with A/C or cruise control, and has just an am/fm radio. Heat works great. It has heated side view mirrors and self leveling beacon lights on top. It also has a engine coolant block heater. It also has a 7 pin trailer plug and receiver.
This auction does include the Boss 8'2" Power V plow. As you can see it was barely used. I checked with a local Boss dealer and they are going for $4900 new with all necessary component and wiring, but doesn't include installation. It also comes with the Monroe stainless steel salt spreader. It is also in very good condition. The auger is not stainless, so it has a fair amount of rust scaling, but it made of very thick heavy metal and has plenty of life on it yet. I also called the manufacturer in Wisconsin and these are going for $4000 new, not including installation. The dump and spreader are fully hydraulic with a hydraulic pump run by the accessory drive belt on engine, which is engaged by a switch in the cab
Everything works as it should. Engine, clutch, transmission, and drive train all work great. The only mechanical issue is the speedometer starts to bounce around +/- 5 mph, once it gets over 40 mph.
Physically, the pictures should give a good idea of the condition. Overall it is in very good condition for an older work truck. The dump bed is in remarkable condition. Unless you just started looking, dump beds in this condition are hard to find. Most rust is just surface rust. It gets heavier near the back where the spreader is. There are 4 pictures showing the only areas that are more than surface rust. 1 - There was a small spot rusted through on the driver's side floor, which was filled in with body filler for inspection. 2 - There is a hole through on the lower passenger side door. 3 - There is a small hole in the rear cross member in front of the rear fuel tank. 4- There is some rot on each side of the rearmost crossmember behind the rear fuel tank. The bottom lip of the front bumper also has some rot on it. The interior is in good condition. The little bit of rust is from an interior leak that was not repaired right away. It does not leak now.
I may have gone overboard on pictures and description, but I want anyone interested to bid with confidence. I can assure you there will be no surprises, and you will not be disappointed when picked up if purchased. If you have been looking for a 1 ton dump truck you will know that manual transmissions seem hard to come by, especially a 4x4 with the 7.3L diesel. So if you have just started looking and these are things important to you, don't sit back and watch, because you won't find this set up again soon.
Item is being sold as and is available for pickup only. No shipping! Since for some reason paypal is not available for auto sales, cash or cashiers check would be accepted. Although I require we at least verify, if not deposit the payment at my at my local bank after you are pleased with final inspection, but before the title is transferred.
If this does not go as a package I will most likely keep the truck and sell the plow and salt spreader separately. Get me your contact information before the end of the auction if you might be interested in those separately. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or if you would like more pictures. Thanks for looking and happy bidding!

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

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.
Ford to add Android Auto and CarPlay to 2016 SYNC 3 cars via update
Fri, May 19 2017Ford is updating a large number of 2016 model year cars equipped with SYNC 3 infotainment software, adding Android Auto and CarPlay to the vehicles with a free, over-the-air update via Wi-Fi, or using either USB or going through their dealer. The upgrade will be available for around 800,000 vehicles in total, giving a huge number of Ford car owners the chance to get big infotainment improvements without having to buy a newer model car. The OTA update option is also a big step for Ford – it's the company's first for software ever, and it's one of the major reasons that Ford recently hired around 400 new mobile smartphone engineers, the company tells me. For CarPlay, users will still also need to upgrade their vehicle's USB hub to make this work (which will also incur a dealer visit and a cost), but for those on Android, all that's required is a simple software installation. The USB install method is also faster, but the Wi-Fi update option is the start of the company's efforts to really increase its OTA update program, which will be used for security improvements as well as infotainment bumps. Even with a dealer visit and hardware upgrade for CarPlay, this sounds like a worthwhile thing for 2016 vehicle owners to do. CarPlay and Android Auto are huge upgrades vs. most in-car software, offering navigation and entertainment options that follow you from your phone to your car. Retroactively offering this kind of thing to car owners is a definite change in tone for carmakers, since they typically use these kinds of things as incentives to get people interested in vehicle model updates. But as data becomes increasingly important to automakers as a business, it makes sense to encourage greater in-car use of devices.Written by Darrell Etherington for TechCrunchRelated Video: Auto News Ford Lincoln Technology Infotainment android
