Up for bid is my 1999 F350 XLT Diesel Crew CabTruck.  I have only owned the truck for 2 years and I hate to see her go, but my business has no use for it anymore. 

The Goods:

The truck is a 4 door crewcab with tons of space in the cab and is a shortbed (6'10") w/ bed-liner.  The engine runs great and the truck only has 154,000 miles which is nothing for a 7.3 Diesel, which in my opinion is one of the best diesels ever made for a truck.  These engines have been known to last up to 500,000 miles if maintained and are tanks!!  Not many Ford diesels out there in the 1999-2002 year range that have such low mileage!  I have dumped a lot into this truck.  I added a new Softtopper retractable cap on the back last year ($800.00), which is nice for keeping tools and equipment dry and it is sweet because it can be put up and taken down in about 5 minutes!!  A year ago I also replaced all of the glowplugs in the engine and it fires up great in the coldest of weather, it also has a plug in block heater for the coldest of nights.  I also just had a new radiator/ transmission cooler and water pump installed along with a new starter ($2,200.00 of labor/parts!!)  I also installed digital tow controls ($400.00), which are sweet if you ever have to haul heavier loads and need adjust the gain on trailers precisely.  The truck has a 4.5" lift with 34.5" tires and also has a 4.5 inch straigt piped exhaust with digital readout on dash and performance chip, this gives it a nice whistle!  The tires have about 1/3"- 1/2 tread and will last for a while.  I installed all new custom sized shocks on the truck just last year.  The truck has an automatic transmission and has 4WD with manual front locking hubs and the transmission shifts as it should and the 4WD works great with no problems.  The truck has a heavy duty hitch receptacle in the rear and a 8" drop down hitch with 2" ball included, and I also installed a front 10,000 lb hitch a year ago behind the front bumper, which can be used for a ton of things.  I also installed a ram air w/ an S&B re-usable filter which improves mileage and performance a little.

Bads:

Not many bads with this truck, but the paint is not in great condition.  It looks fine on 9/10ths of the visible truck, but there is some clear coat chipping off primarily on the top of the roof (not visible) and it is starting to work it's way down to the doors.  The passenger side rear cab door is the worst of it and you can see it in the pictures I posted.  If I were to keep the truck I would probably just get a cheap paint job at Maaco, or just leave it the way it is as it is a work truck.  There is no visible rust or anything major it is just a surface problem and it has remained the same for the last 2 years.

Overall this truck is in great mechanical condition and is a tank that will last many years for it's next owner.  It is a tank and has been a great workhorse for the last two years!  Good luck bidding!
