hi and thnx ~!~ I know diesels are supposed to run forever, but at 242k, this Van runs and drives much better than you would expect. it was company owned and properly serviced, as normal fleet style, to reduce risk and add life and reliability; add to that Ford's tough as nails approach with the V8 diesel and the iron build of the great E350 line.
motor starts with a gentle flick of the key and idles correctly. no gauge or dash lights are on. tranny snicks into drive and the van just pulls right along. the ride is firm but exactly to be expected. steers straight, rides well and is reasonably comfy. I have had these power-strokes before in the truck line, and it is just very nice to see, like this one here, a van that does not clatter like mad and no smoke at startup ~!~ (or at all... )
the rear bins are pro grade and can handle all your organizing needs. the floor has been covered with protective mats, and although dusty, they did a good job. all dash and features seem to work fine. front drivers seat has some wear tears, the rest you can see... please see all photos carefully. there are signs of previous repairs along the van's bottom edge, please see the black paint line along the body; it is hiding some repaired rust and corrosion and starting to age. also, please note how clean, dry and solid are the frame, floors, lines and all undercarriage. overall very clean front to rear.
the E350 is at my mechanic's shop now and I just authorized $900 in repairs. I do not want a buyer to have problems or driving home issues, so... he found that the power steering pump had a front seal leak, so that gets replaced. he recommended some new brake lines, OK. the alternator was putting out about 9 volts, so he will install a new one. I will have repairs done and receipts to back it up. I have no problem fixing things if it makes sense, I just was hoping to get off a little easier.
feel please feel free to bid and buy, truck runs and looks great from most any angle. please see all photos, I took every good and bad shot I could. feel free to email or call, or just come by and take a drive. vehicle is as shown and at my home. j. bettes, 805 Clinton ave, Bridgeport, CT 06604 >>

Ford 1.0L EcoBoost 3-Cylinder: Autoblog Technology of the Year award finalist
Wed, 19 Nov 2014As the old saying goes, "There's no replacement for displacement." But these days, many automakers are launching powerful, downsized engines that offer similar or better power output than their predecessors, all while offering improvements in fuel economy and emissions. These days, we're seeing automakers replacing eight-cylinder engines with turbocharged sixes, and the naturally aspirated six-cylinder motors are being phased out in favor of potent turbo fours. But Ford has gone even smaller, offering a three-cylinder, turbocharged engine with one single liter of displacement.
Sure, three-cylinder engines aren't anything new - they've been offered around the globe for ages. But Ford's EcoBoost 1.0L powerplant is perhaps the best application the Autoblog team has tested. Gone are the triple-cylinder complaints of yore - this engine doesn't sound anemic or buzzy, and there's healthy power output on tap. In fact, compared to the 1.6-liter inline-four that Ford also offers in the Fiesta, the 1.0-liter is more powerful, while boasting an impressive 45 miles per gallon on the highway.
This engine has already received numerous accolades, including winning the International Engine of the Year award in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The 1.0L EcoBoost will be available in the refreshed 2015 Ford Focus here in the US.
Ford reflects on radical Mustang concept that never reached showrooms
Tue, 25 Jun 2013The Ford Mustang that we all know and love made major waves in the auto industry way back in 1964 by offering style and reasonable pricing with optional V8 power. Its long hood and short rear deck, combined with a low-slung and sporty cockpit, made a lasting impression in the minds of consumers and car designers alike, and its basic shape has so endured the test of time that it's still in use today.
This being the case, you may be interested to know that the first Mustang of 1964.5 wasn't actually the first Mustang at all, being preceded by a concept car that made its public debut in 1962. This concept was nothing like the car that would eventually make it into production, with a radical wedge shape and a small V4 engine sitting behind the car's two occupants, driving the rear wheels. In other words, the conceptual Mustang was pretty much the complete opposite of the production Mustang besides the name.
Ford has kindly decided go through its massive archive to bring the original Mustang concept back into the public eye. The company goes so far as to pose this question to fans of the pony car: "Should we borrow a few of these style elements for the next iteration of the Mustang?" Check out our image gallery above and then let 'em know what you think in the Comments below.
Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs
Fri, 25 Apr 2014General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.
