Ford F350 Dually 7.3 Liter Turbo Diesel on 2040-cars
Boyce, Virginia, United States
|
The good:
Awesome running 1993 Ford F350. It has the turbo charged 7.3 liter diesel motor. As you may well know, its not uncommon to get upwards of 400k out of these motors. Slides really smooth through every gear, and a crazy amount of pull through each. Has a hitch on the front and rear, power windows, power locks and original radio, CB radio, and trailer brake/rear hookup that all work. The AC is still ice-cold! Fleet maintained, never had a heavy load seeing has not been outfitted with a gooseneck, would cost couple hundred bucks to get one installed, but peace of mind knowing it hasn't been heavily loaded. Already has ladder rack mounts connected to the frame. The paint is fading a little on the wheel wells, but whatever, its a sweeeeet truck. The bad: Needs a new front right tire to pass inspection. You still have a month, however it should be replaced anyways. Why am I not replacing it? Because I'm listing it cheap and you can put whatever tires you want on it! Why don't I clean it up? Because its a truck thats currently being used every day and I don't want to spend money on it only to ruin all that detailing. As any dually driver knows occasionally you cut a corner too close and slide the protruding wheel well against whatever is close to it. In this case it was a mailbox. It didn't cause any structural damage, but it cracked the fender, which was fixed, quite solidly, except wasn't painted..see picture. This is why the running board section on the passenger side doesn't run all the way, I never even noticed until I was looking at the pics I posted. There also is a little indicator on the dash that says "Ready to start" when you run your glow plugs long enough. The little panel its on is loose, still works perfectly fine, but is just sitting there. A crafty person could fix this with some super glue or something. I am not crafty, therefore it stays as it is. I am selling this for locally online and in the paper, therefore reserve the right to pull the listing before its closing date if sold locally. It is listed in the paper for 7k. Honestly if someone gets close to that locally I will sell it. I am selling this for a friend who has fallen on hard times, I haven't made any effort to clean it whatsoever, this is it at its worst! I have been using it every day for a demo job over 40 miles a day, running like a bat outta hell.It is not a show piece, there is minor surface rust here and there, paint fading here and there, but overall looks fantastic. Timeless awesome Ford. If someone dropped the $500 bucks for a paint job, it would be an incredible looking rig. |

Ford C-Max spied with fresh updates
Fri, 05 Sep 2014The Ford C-Max hatchback looks to be getting a few cosmetic updates, as evidenced in this latest set of spy photos. Like the smaller Focus, which also received a nip/tuck for the 2015 model year, the C-Max appears to be getting a revised front fascia with slimmer headlamps and a more, shall we say, Aston Martin-like grille. Around back, there looks to be a new bumper with redesigned taillamps, as well.
In other markets, the C-Max people-mover is available with a range of powertrains, but here in the US, it exists either as a traditional gas-electric or plug-in hybrid. The C-Max's fuel economy has been a particular topic of interest lately, with its official fuel economy ratings having been lowered twice since the vehicle's launch. Sales initially suffered a bit following this fiasco, though numbers have since leveled out. It's unclear if Ford is working on any powertrain tweaks for the updated C-Max seen here, however.
Ford has likely spruced up the hatch's interior, as well, though we don't have photos of that at this time. Mum's the word on when we'll see the new C-Max, but our best guess is that it'll arrive sometime in the next year.
Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Autocar pits Formula Ford against Germany's finest
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford has quite the racing pedigree, but usually, its racers are relegated to the track. Not the new Formula Ford EcoBoost, though. It's a turbocharged, open-wheeled racer complete with a 200-horsepower, 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine... and it's legal on the roads of the UK.
That's stressed in this video from Autocar, with the mag going so far as to show the car's tax disc and license plates. Being a road-legal offering, it's tempting to see just how well an open-wheeler that delivers racecar-like performance while also netting over 100 miles per gallon (assume this is on the British cycle, for obvious reasons) stacks up against modern performance cars.
Autocar lined up the Formula Ford against an Audi R8 V10, a BMW M6 Gran Coupe and a Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG in a number of situations to see which would come out on top. Take a look below for the full video.
