This is a NO RESERVE auction for a 2008 Ford F350 XLT Super Duty that needs engine work. Her interior and exterior condition are very good. She starts right up and idles perfectly. There are no problems with acceleration if she is in park or neutral. Please read this carefully. The problem with the truck is that she will be driving just fine and out of nowhere and usually at the most inopportune moment she starts smoking, running erratically and then dies. Once she cools down, she starts up fine and drives fine until this happens all over again. We thought it was an oil problem and installed brand new twin turbos and this did not help. The previous owner thought it was a problem with the EGR. He installed EGR coolers, radiator, a bunch of sensors in the exhaust and a new ECU. This did not solve the problem. She goes really quickly into regen mode. There has been a compression test done and it was fine. There are no knocks in the engine. There is an exterior oil leak. Everything seems fine until it warms up and you start driving it. I am trying to provide as much information as I can. As a person who buys and sells trucks regularly I get tired of everyone selling a truck for their "friend, relative, etc" and nobody has driven the truck in a year but last time they did she ran good, or so they say:) This is a great project for a mechanically inclined person and I want you to know what you are dealing with. If you would like to come and look at her prior to bidding, please call 850-687-8756 and I will be happy to schedule a time. If you have any questions or want more information, just text or call me.
I am selling her as a No Reserve Auction, because I do not have the time, resources or proper scanning tool to give her any more attention. She could be a great truck or a great opportunity for a good profit margin. Serious buyers only please, only bid if you understand her condition and can pay.

Leno chooses his top 10 Mustangs
Sat, 14 Jun 2014He may be a few months late to the party, but in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Jay Leno has delivered a short video in which he runs down which of the Blue Oval's pony cars from the past 50 years are his favorites.
The list is pretty darn similar to our own, with some of the big names from the Mustang's half century making an appearance, while there are three or four cars here that we think you'll be pretty surprised by.
Take a look below for this short video from Jay Leno's Garage.
KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
Mulally will stay close to Ford after he steps down, plans to advise Fields [w/video]
Fri, 27 Jun 2014Ford CEO Alan Mulally has less than a week left in his role of leading the Blue Oval before he hands off duties to Mark Fields on July 1. It doesn't look like Mulally is going to be shuffling off into his retirement anytime soon, though. The 68-year-old is being rather secretive about his next move, but he tells Bloomberg in a recent interview that he plans to stay close to Ford. Also, if Fields wants to ask for any advice, Mulally is happy to help.
Mulally took over at Ford in 2006 and led the company through a seriously rough patch in the auto industry. According to Bloomberg, he became famous or his Thursday meetings where executives were forced to deal with any problems before they could leave. Since announcing his retirement from Ford in May, Mulally has been insuring a smooth transition of power by traveling the world to all of company's major locations and saying goodbye to employees and dealers.
In terms of the future at Ford, Mulally doesn't predict any big changes in management style because the rest of the executive team is staying in place. He believes that Fields is going to maintain the processes already in place to keep things going. After all, it seems to be working. The company is predicting a return to profitability in Europe next year and is opening 88 new dealers in China. If the business could get its recalls under control, things could get even better.
