Super Duty Tow Truck on 2040-cars
Gold Beach, Oregon, United States
What i am putting up for auction is an old school rig. The short wheel base allows you to maneuver this rig anywhere. The two 20 K booms have about 150ft of cable, one is new on the spool , and I have another new cable inside the box, if you need to reach out farther then 150 ft.
One of the door's hinges ( on the box ) needs to be welded. Door still works . minor fix. I might get to it. I ave concentrated mainly on sanding/grinding any rust ( mostly surface ) and have applied 5 coats of Direct to metal primer/ and finish paint. I also plan on painting an Eagle on the hood. ....Of course. I was told the 7.3 has only 140, XXX but cannot verify. Motor is very tight, and other mechanic's that have looked at it believe it to be true. Has one new battery, the other is about 2 yrs old. Fire's right up. Oil pressure is around 50 psi. There is a block heater for the cold days, i have never used it. New radiator, probably from when the previous owner had been shot at after repo a vehicle.......I left the hole. . He had also replaced the clutch, so it has app. 1000 miles on the 5 speed. Micro lock braking system. 4 wheel disc brakes.Tire and brake's are in very good shape I had purchased Boomer ( she named it ) to use the cranes . There is a heavy duty hitch that can be attached to the wheel lift , so you could easily pull a trailer carrying heavy equipment. . This is gear low , (you don't want to take this over 55 ) but still doesn't get terrible mileage. I am figuring 14 mpg... Dual tanks, i have driven 300 miles , and still have fuel in both tanks. . As of right now, its about $100.00 ( 4.00 a gallon for diesel here ) to fill it up. |

Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
2015 Ford Mustang will tell authorities how you crashed and if you were belted [w/video]
Sat, 28 Jun 2014When the 2015 Ford Mustang hits dealers, it will be with a new batch of features that will power up Sync's 911 Assist feature, and provide an even greater degree of information to first responders in the event of an accident.
911 Assist will already make a phone call, via a Bluetooth-connected phone, should you bin your car. The automatic message to first responders is a pre-recorded blurb from Ford. With the new enhancements, though, emergency personnel can learn about the maximum change in velocity and whether the crash involved a front, rear, side or a rollover impact. 911 Assist will also send information about how many seat belts were in use and if airbags deployed, allowing more accurate dispatch of resources.
"Sync will only broadcast relevant information to save time, and it constructs a very efficient message for the operator," said David Hatton, the global project leader with Ford Connected Services. "After the introductory message, the voice line opens automatically and occupants can speak directly with the operator via Sync's hands-free functionality."
Ford F-450 claims best-in-class towing, company abandons practice of removing items to boost payload number
Tue, 02 Sep 2014The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.
