Hi everyone, You are bidding on a 2003 Ford F450 crew cab with the powerful 6.0l turbo charged engine. This truck has the lariat trim package and so much more. It is the crew cab and has all the space you'll need for work and play. I acquired this truck from one of my customers that had an unexpected expense and was not able to pay me for the repairs completed. I am the lead diesel tech for our local dealership and have over 18 years of experience and hold a master certification. I have a side business maintaining and fixing diesel tow trucks, fleets, and also personal vehicles. I will describe this vehicle in sections, so i can be more exact in the description of this great truck.


The Exterior,

This truck is the crew cab body and is black in color. The previous owner said he had it repainted around a year ago and looks good. All panels are in good condition and nothing is falling off. The truck has small dents and scratches like you would expect to see in a truck of its age. Please see pics and judge for yourself. It shows well and has a good shine. The tailgate is the only part that has dents on it, but is a part that is easily replaced if you would want to. It locks and closes properly. The bumpers are in great shape and chrome shines like new. All decals are there and running boards are also in good shape, not cracked or hanging down. All glass is in great shape and no cracks. This truck has a heavy duty tow hitch and also has a gooseneck ball in the middle of the bed. It also has an electric brake controller that works fine. The bed has a hard foldable cover to protect whatever you put in it. All lights work fine and the bed and cab lights are LED's and look great at night.

Interior,

This truck has the lariat package, so interior is the highest trim package. It has leather seats and all the bells and whistles that come with this package. The interior condition shows normal leather wear, it has cracks in the leather in common areas of interior. I had the truck detailed and must admit, came out better than i thought. please see pics. The previous owner had a complete sound system installed from the alpine head unit, alpine amplifiers and custom bass enclosure behind the seats. It sounds great. All gauges work as they should and all systems from AC and heater system are 100% functional.

Wheels and tires,

The wheels on this truck are 19.5 inch wheels. They are in great conditions and the pictures prove it. The rear tires were worn out and decided to replace them before offering the truck for sale. They have only 10 miles on them!!!!!!!!! The front steer tires have about 85% to 90% of tread on them. Previous owner said they were replaced around 4 months ago. So you will get a truck with all NEW tires, and we all know how much these tires cost!! Also the tires are the bigger size (245) instead of (225) wider stance and stability.


Brakes and safety,

The front and rear brakes are NEW!!!!!!!  The right rear caliper was replaced due to small leak. I will not take any chances when it comes to safety!!!! caliper was replaced and fluid was also flushed. Truck stops on a dime.  ABS system also works fine and no codes in system.

Power train,

This truck has the powerful 6.0l turbo diesel engine. We all know that these engines had some issues, But I'm here to say that this engine has all those issues taken care of. This truck came to me because the turbo failed. I replaced the turbo at the customers request and noticed the engine had some leaks. I explained to the customer what was involved and he said to go ahead and reseal entire engine. I removed the engine and stripped it down to the short block. Cleaned all parts and not a bit of oil anywhere. During the process of replacing all seals from the oil pan to valve covers, The owner took my recommendations to replace some wear items like, glow plugs, glow plug harnesses and multiple injectors that came up during testing. For the record, ALL parts that were used are original replacement parts from ford. Every part was torqued to factory specs from oil pan bolts to especially the cylinder heads. Because the customer did not want to have any other issues, i convinced him to replace the oil cooler, high pressure pump, radiator, and install an EGR delete kit from sinister diesel. Keep in mind that he recently had a diesel programmer installed (SCT) and also has a full exhaust system installed as well. Lets not forget that the turbo is also new from ford. Ill end this by telling you that whom ever purchases this truck, I have all the pictures showing everything that was done to this truck. So don't take my word for it, see it with your own eyes!!

Transmission and final drive

Previous owner said that trans was replaced around 70k miles ago, and shifts perfectly. Rear end has no leaks and works as it should.

Fuel system,

This truck had twin fuel tanks and selector switch work as it should. Fuel gauge works and is accurate. The fuel filters were replaced along with the oil filter. 

All in all, This truck is ready to work!!! Please know that i reserve the right to end at any time due to it is also listed locally. Please feel free to ask any questions and i respond quickly. I don't have a buy it now price, but feel free to send an offer. If you live close to the chicago area, please feel free to set up a viewing or a test drive. 

P.S.   This truck has a great turbo whistle, and sounds like a beast when you hit the throttle. Good luck and happy bidding. I have a 100% feedback score for a reason!!! if you have a low feedback score, please contact me.

Woman reunited with stolen Mustang after 28 years

Sun, Dec 28 2014

An enthusiast Christmas story: Salinas, California resident Lynda Alsip bought a 1967 Ford Mustang in 1984 when she was 17 years old, having saved $800 after a summer of toil at a grocery store. She got a vanity plate that read "LYNDA67," for the year she was born, but she only got to enjoy the car for two years: in 1986, after a night out, someone stole it from her apartment complex. She hadn't seen it since. Then a man – another Salinas resident – tried to register the car at the DMV this year. He said he bought it as a project car in 1991, yet the DMV couldn't find any record of it. The DMV office sent the case of the untraceable car to the California Highway Patrol, where Officer Christopher Menchen dug into the records, and his search paid off. The officer located Alsip's stolen record report from 1986 and connected the Mustang to it's registered owner in 1986, who was Alsip's mother. The CHP found the forest green Mustang in the man's garage, and they figure it's been there since 1991. After waiting through the still-ongoing three-month investigation, the CHP reunited Alsip – now a wife and a mother of two – with her car on December 22. It's undriveable, but her original vanity plate is back on and she plans to restore it. The video above has the story.

Man chases down truck thief and steams it all on Facebook

Thu, Oct 13 2016

A Washington man chased down a truck stolen from his family's dealership last Saturday and livestreamed the event on Facebook. According to KOMO, a 2005 Ford F-250 was stolen from Sunrise Auto Sales in Eatonville, Washington on the morning of October 8. Aaron Babcock, who co-owns the small dealership with his father David, told reporters that after reviewing surveillance footage, he later spotted the truck while riding his motorcycle on Webster Road East. "I watched my cameras and found the video of a man lurking around and ending up taking off with my truck," Babcock told KOMO. "Cops came and made a case. Three hours later I was on my motorcycle in Graham, and they drove by me oncoming. It still had dealer stickers on it. It said diesel on the window and it had our dealer plate on it. It stuck out like a sore thumb. It was really easy to see." Once he spotted the stolen Super Duty, he wheeled his bike around and gave chase. He attempted to call 911, but was unsure if the dispatcher heard him due to noise from the wind and the bike's engine. So he fired up Facebook live and started streaming his chase, giving running commentary and updating his location as he chased the slow-moving truck. "I wasn't going to let him get away. I was going to try follow him down. I had no idea what to do," Babcock said. "Nobody could hear me on the phone so I just figured the first thing to do is pull up Facebook live." Babcock's Facebook friends pitched in by calling 911 to report the chase and even jumping in their own cars to follow the truck. At one point, he pulled alongside the truck and recognized both men in the cab. The driver was the man seen lurking around the dealer lot in the surveillance video, and the passenger was an old friend of Babcock's. "I know who you are!" he shouted at them, but the hunkered down and kept driving. Eventually, Babcock lost cell phone signal and the livestream ended. Eatonville police, who by this point were well aware of the incident, caught up with the truck in the 8400 block of 356th Street South in Eatonville. The driver was arrested and the passenger was questioned and released. Both denied stealing the vehicle or knowing it was stolen. Two sets of keys from Sunrise Auto Sales and a stolen credit card were also recovered from the truck. Related Video

US Ford Focus RS to be imported from Europe

Tue, 21 Oct 2014

Rumors about the forthcoming Ford Focus RS are flourishing into what sounds like a very impressive new hot hatch. The latest scuttlebutt gives the first indication about when we might see a few of these fast Focuses on roads here in the US.
Unnamed insiders reportedly confirmed to The Truth About Cars that Ford plans to launch the Focus RS in the US in 2016. However, getting one might not be so easy - the boosted powertrain means the car would likely need to be imported from Europe. That's likely going to keep the total number available in the US rather low. The sources estimate a price tag that's a bit more expensive than the top Focus ST3, which starts around $28,500, plus $825 destination.
It seems that a pretty potent package comes for all of that cash, though. The Focus RS reportedly uses a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making between 325 and 350 horsepower, with a torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system to get that muscle to the road. The test mules also wear more aggressive front and rear fascias, dual exhaust tips, larger brakes and sticky tires. It sounds like a great formula on top of the already enjoyable Focus ST.
