1997 Ford F-350 4x4 Crew Cab 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel Auto on 2040-cars
Berryville, Virginia, United States
1997 Ford F-350, 4x4, Crew Cab, 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel, Auto Transmission. Great solid truck. Truck is a beast!
In 2008 I inherited a minivan. In 2010 it was obvious when we had a kid that we needed a 4x4 for our gravel, long, hilly, north facing, last driveway to melt in the county. Before kid we could always walk out of the snow. I was looking for a smaller half ton truck but someone wanted a minivan and he had this truck. The rest is history. Now we have two kids and face the reality the truck is too big for my wife and more then we need. Truck has not been stopped in the snow. Truck is almost entirely unmolested and stock. It has Superwinch manual hubs. Very good mechanically with following exceptions: AC is not cold (new problem have not researched problem possible freon), power windows are inconsistent, cruise control will cut off, driver's seat is torn. The truck had a front right quarter panel repaired due to accident. Back corner of bed has dent. Truck was well maintained before I purchased. The auto tranny was rebuilt and installed by Ford dealer in Woodstock, VA. Paperwork regarding specs for the tranny rebuild is incomplete. Just before I purchased it also received a new fuel filter and air filter. Mechanical since I bought the truck: Regular oil changes (Shell Rotella 15W-40) not listed in this list June 2010 179,617 flush rad pulled turbo apart and reseal repack front wheel bearings new front pads, rotors, hardware, front hub seals, caliper slides, and repacked bearings July 2010 179,966 New brake line along rail and brake fluid flush July 2010 front end alignment July 2011 183,567 Four new Dunlop tires stock size and alignment August 2012 187,976 new fuel filter flush radiator November 2012 188,538 new intermediate steering shaft November 2012 188,662 two new batteries July 2013 190,484 fuel filter IPR valve December 2013 192,584 Crank position sensor March 2014 193,546 fuel filter restriction switch neutral safety switch It will need an oil change soon and the AC needs attention (please see note above) This truck and generation of truck will go down as one of the top five or top three trucks ever produced by Ford. This generation Ford truck is up there with the 1956 Ford pickup and the 1970s Ford Highboys for legendary Ford trucks. The 1997 is the last year with this body style, has the legendary 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel, and is a crew cab. The F-250 and F-350 kept the existing body style for 1997. The F-150 had a major body style change in 1997. The F-250 and F-350 changed in 1998. Disclaimers - You are welcome and encouraged to see the truck in person. Cash or bank check only. No personal checks or pay pal. Truck is for sale locally and ebay auction might end. $500.00 deposit is required within three days. Truck has to be paid in full within seven days of sale. Short term storage is offered if truck is paid for in full. Please email me with any questions. We are going to miss this truck! Our two boys (age two and five) love it. Our oldest calls it Freight Train Buggy after the bluegrass song Freight Train Boogy. He loves trains and since it has a diesel engine like trains he loves it! It is obvious it is more truck then we need a half ton will do for us. I have owned numerous trucks and vans and this is without a doubt the strongest! Thanks for looking at the auction! |

Ford confirms Everest SUV production for China
Sat, 19 Apr 2014According to Ford, the Chinese SUV segment grew by 49 percent in 2013, and the Blue Oval held a 4.5 percent market share. At the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Ford is showing the Everest SUV that, while just a concept for now, will go into production in the near future.
The Everest is a big, brawny seven-seat SUV that mixes solid, chiseled styling and contemporary Ford design cues. Up front there is an angular version of the trapezoidal grille and sharp, wraparound headlights. The beltline rises in the rear to make the back appear higher than the front. The rear seems just as chiseled, with the taillights resting in jagged scallops. There is no doubt that this concept means to look rugged, and ready for rough roads - the whole thing looks pretty great.
The truck was penned by Ford's Asia Pacific design and engineering team in Australia, and it was first shown in Sydney last year. Ford's JMC joint venture will build the truck for the Chinese market, and it will be sold at Ford dealers there. The Blue Oval isn't hinting at what powers the production version yet, but it reportedly shares some components with the foreign-market Ranger.
Enterprise working with renter's insurance to cover $47k Mustang stolen from its lot
Sat, 11 Jan 2014There was more than a bit of public indigence following the recent story of Enterprise Rent-A-Car billing a customer $47,000 to replace a Ford Mustang GT Convertible stolen from a Nova Scotia lot. To recap: Kristen Cockerill rented the Mustang for two days, returned it to the lot on a Sunday and left the keys in a secure dropbox only for Enterprise employees to find the car gone the next day.
Despite Enterprise policies stating that customers are responsible for vehicles dropped on off-days, the company has admitted that the situation could've been handled a bit better.
In a recent statement, Enterprise has backed off the big-bill story, and claims to be working with Cockerill and her insurance company to resolve the issue. Further, the Enterprise general manager overseeing Nova Scotia has spoken with the harried renter, and apologized "for the way this claim was handled during the last few months."
Techstars Mobility brings transportation startups to Detroit
Thu, Jun 4 2015A new tech incubator is looking to combine the Motor City's automotive history with its evolving tech startup landscape. "Techstars Mobility, Driven by Detroit" kicks off its first round with 10 startups next week. Techstars is an established accelerator network with incubators around the world, and Detroit is a new addition. The projects center around mobility in some form, be it improving vehicles, moving goods, or working cars into the sharing economy in new ways. In return for a percentage stake in each company, Techstars provides mentorship, access to experts, seed money, and a collaborative environment. One startup we're particularly excited about is Motoroso. This site is like Pinterest for the car-obsessed, with boards replaced by garages that can contain photos and links to other projects. The site lets you follow brands – Chevy, Porsche, Ducati, and others already have profiles – as well as other users. For the Autoblog editors, Motoroso provides a new way to share stories, photos, and video, as well as a way to discover new products and interesting DIY projects. Take a look at the Autoblog profile and wander around the site to check things out. Another one of the startups, Classics & Exotics, is helping owners of interesting cars and would-be drivers connect in an Airbnb-style distributed rental program. Think of it as an auction catalog you can drive. Renters can specify the price, mileage, minimum driver age, and availability. Similar to Airbnb, Classics & Exotics provides each vehicle owner with $1 million in liability and damage protection. The company also vets renters for added peace of mind. Sounds like fun, and a cheap way to avoid a costly Craigslist or eBay mistake. Along similar shared-economy lines comes SPLT, a ride-sharing platform that finds people going where you're going and lets you hop in a car and split the costs. It's aimed at commuters but also has great applications for those looking for occasional one-way rides somewhere. SPLT notes that the system is a good way to meet new people – hopefully, good new people. Depending on how well SPLT keeps sketchy rides and riders out of the system, this could be a solid alternative to services like Uber and Lyft. This Techstars Mobility class has backing from corporate sponsors, including Ford, Honda, Magna, Dana, Verizon Telematics (Verizon has an offer pending to buy AOL, our parent company), and McDonald's.
