this is a dependable truck and runs properly without any drama. it has a block heater which i have never had to use because it starts right up in the winter with just the glow-plugs. two new batteries with warranty cards were added in oct. 2012. has had a documented $2400 in new parts in the 18 months i have owned it (that is not counting any labor) and is now mechanically excellent. that includes a low-mileage replacement transmission--a heavy-duty 4l80e from a dually 3500. with that, the front and rear differentials and transfer case were drained and refilled with amsoil synthetic lubrication, as well as the tranny, and of course, new trans filter. vehicle has an extra-large tru-cool low-pressure-drop auxiliary tranny cooler. the rear-end is a semi-floating 14-bolt unit. vehicle is considered a "heavy half-ton". vehicle frame and underneath sheet-metal have been rust-proofed with the kbs system, and any remaining bare metal has been oiled. brakes stop the vehicle evenly, don't make noise and have plenty of meat left on the pads. the front end, steering and suspension work as they should without any vibration, looseness or pulling to either side. vehicle has a 4" exhaust with stainless magnaflow and resonator. vehicle passes ohio e-check which is just a visual inspection for diesels. there are no dash/check engine lights on at all. have a normal, clear title in hand and it is titled in my name and is my daily driver. as such mileage will increase a bit through the week. vehicle is also advertised for local sale and i reserve the right to end the auction early if that happens. cash on pickup in richfield ohio, 44286, within 3 days of auction end. a nonrefundable $500 deposit by paypal will hold the vehicle for an extra 14 days. sold as is where is, but am willing to assist with shipping if i am paid in cash first, and if you pay for and make the shipping arrangements. the interior is a cloth bench seat without rips but does show signs of wear. boost and egt gauges on a-pillar. the passenger seat power tilt function does not work, but everything else on the vehicle does, including 4wd, heat and air-conditioning. the a/c compressor ha been replaced with a redesigned non-leaking sanden unit. there was a minor accident in 2004 that caused a barely visible dent in right front bumper. there are a couple of nickel-sized areas on the body that are bubbling but no actual rust and the frame is outstanding. truck comes with the studded snow tires mounted on the rear plus a set of 4 matching aluminum rims with bridgestone dueler a/t revos with a lot of tread. the two aluminum toolboxes and integrated rollbar/lightbar also come with the vehicle as well as the 1 key that works for both boxes. the toolboxes are 49.5" apart allowing for you to carry sheets of drywall and plywood in the bed of the truck with only 7" sticking up out over the top of the rollbar. new pump-mounted-driver and relocation kit were just installed this weekend which evened-out the rpm at highway cruising speed. selectable electronically controlled transmission rocker switch that provides for quicker and firmer shifts when towing. no leaks, no vibrations, no problems. thorough maintenance has all been done and this truck needs nothing until you swap the summer rims back on in the spring and change the oil.

Ford GT dominates Le Mans qualifying, gets slapped with performance adjustment
Fri, Jun 17 2016Fifty years after Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon drove the Ford GT40 to victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ford is poised for a historic return to the Circuit de la Sarthe. The new Ford GT took the top two qualifying positions in the LMGTE Pro class, and four of the top five. Ferrari's 488 filled in the rest of the spots in the top seven, the first two from AF Corse. In other words, we're primed for a reboot of the classic Ford-Ferrari feud at this year's race. Or not, as the ACO, which organizes the 24 Hours of Le Mans, announced sweeping pre-race Balance of Performance (BOP) adjustments this morning that make this year's GT class anybody's race. In LMP1, last year's overall winner Porsche locked up the top two spots with the 919 Hybrid and will lead the entire field at race start. Toyota's two-car factory effort followed with qualifying times 1.004 and 2.170 seconds behind the pole lap. Audi rounds out the manufacturer-backed LMP1 class in fifth and sixth. Full qualifying results can be found here. The storyline for the GT cars is perfect - some say too perfect. Ford's class-leading times came after BOP adjustment to the Corvette Racing C7.R before qualifying. BOP is intended to level the playing field in the class by adjusting power, ballast, and fuel capacity. (Check out this explainer video for more, or even just if you love French accents.) But the process is riddled with unknowns and ripe for accusations of sandbagging. That is, if the Ford cars were intentionally slow in practice they could hope for BOP adjustment to improve their race chances. On the Corvette side, last year's GTE Pro winner went from the top of the field to the bottom, barely improving from practice to qualifying. If you think Le Mans is as rigged at the NBA Playoffs, well, it's not that simple. Because if Ford and Ferrari held back until qualifying - the eighth-place Porsche 911 RSR is three-and-a-half seconds off the class pole time - it was a pretty dumb strategy. This morning, the ACO tried to put things back in order by limiting the boost in the Ford GT's twin-turbo V6 and adding 11 pounds of ballast. Ferrari was also given extra weight but allowed more fuel capacity. The Corvette and Aston Martin teams were both given breaks on their air restrictors, which will allow their engines to make more power. Both Ford and Porsche also received extra fuel capacity.
2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
