EBay does not show a listing for F-550 that is why this is under F-450, but it is F-550.
2005, 4x4, 6.0 Power Stroke diesel with 12' flatbed. It is from the South and has never seen an Ohio Winter. It is absolutely spotless with no rust of any kind anywhere. The truck has 198k miles on it, the engine has 133k miles. 
The truck runs, drives, and shifts perfectly and needs nothing. The 4 wheel drive, hubs, t-case everything works perfectly. Truck has never had a plow on it.

Engine work: Approx 8k miles ago the heads were machined flat, new Ford head gaskets installed, ARP head studs, new oil cooler, EGR delete, dummy plugs, stand pipes, IPR o-rings, STC fitting, injector o-rings, coolant filter added with new CAT spec coolant, and new T-stat. I'm probably forgetting a thing or 2. It was gone through and all typical fixes done to make this bulletproof and a very reliable work truck.
The turbo has approx 80k miles on it.
The injectors were replaced with Allaint Power remans 8k miles ago, too.
The FICM is a Swamp's 58v rebuilt unit 8k miles ago, too, and has the 80 hp PHP tune.

The flatbed stake body is 12' long, has removable sides, and has tool boxes on both sides, all in excellent condition. The truck is 84" cab to axle with 4:88 gears. Tires are decent - they are not perfect and are not bald. They can be used to get you going for sure.

The interior is in excellent shape, which is very unusual for an older work truck with 200k miles. The seat was totally trashed when I got it and I found a very reasonably priced tan seat for it. You can throw a seat cover on it if you want, I didn't so you can see it's a near new seat in great condition. Who cares what color it is, it's in a work truck!

The truck is for sale locally here in North East Ohio, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Contact me via email, phone or text with questions or to come see and drive. You will not be disappointed whatsoever with this super clean, bulletproof 6.0 Powerstroke diesel truck.

Hertz goes Dutch with Ford Focus ST-H

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Want to take a performance car for a ride? Hertz can make that happen. Spin by your local rental location (depending, of course, on availability) and you can take out a Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, even a Corvette as part of the Adrenaline Collection. Hertz's Dream Cars lineup even includes Porsches and AMGs. But the really interesting stuff is what you can't get anywhere else: cars built specifically for Hertz.
Back in 1966, Hertz had Ford cook up a special run of Mustang GT350H models in back with gold stripes. It became an icon in and of itself, and in 2008 Hertz had a new batch of Shelby GT-Hs made. Earlier this year, Hertz contracted Penske to deliver another fleet of specially-built Mustangs you can rent. But if your travel plans include a trip to the Netherlands, Hertz has a completely different type of specially-prepared Ford on offer for you.
Back in August, Ford delivered a couple of Focus STs made specifically for Hertz in Holland. Now it's expanded that fleet even further. The Ford Focus ST-H features the same 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four (and everything else) as the standard Focus ST, but gets that signature black exterior with gold stripes and a black leather interior with Recaro buckets. So in case a trip to Amsterdam doesn't hold enough thrills, now you can throw a hot hatch into the mix as well. Scope out the press release (in Dutch - isn't that weird?) below.

Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."

Watch Piquet and Mansell bend some sheetmetal in Ford Fusion GP

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

As we told you about before, there were four episodes planned for the Ford Fusion GP campaign in Brazil, and the whole series has now run its course. The Ford ads pit Brazilian Formula One driver Nelson Piquet against English F1 pilot Nigel Mansell driving the new Fusion, the two coming together again after their partnership at the Williams F1 team ended in a miserable state more than 20 years ago.
They're lined up for you below, in reverse chronological order. You should watch number three first, though, as it adds a bit more spice to the NASCAR action in the fourth.
