This is a nice truck. I bought it two years ago as a 4X4 for going into the mountains to fish and camp. It has never been abused or over-extended as a four wheel drive vehicle. It has the 5.8L gas engine, automatic OD trans, and 3.55 rear axle. The tall axle ratio does not hinder offroad travel at all since there is still low range to use.With the 3.55 gears the truck can average 14-14.5 MPG on the open road at 70-75 MPH all day. It is by far the nicest riding, smoothest handling 4X4 I have ever driven!
The heater and AC work very well, and I have installed a heater bypass for the summer season to aid the efficiency of the AC. Interior is in about a 7-8 /10 condition, with 2 small burn spots in headliner but not tears or stains in the captains chair seats or rear seat. It has remote adjust mirrors, dual visors each side, and auto day-night rear view as well.
The truck is on AMSOIL synthetics in the engine, transfer case, and rear diff, I have not done a fluid change on the trans or front diff yet. I just replaced the EGR valve and control solenoid and the DPFE. Also recently replaced one O2 sensor. All systems check out and I will do a smog "check" only for buyer if needed.
Tires are Yokohama Geolanders with about 10K miles on them. They are a great combination on/off road tire and are quiet and great in wet road conditions. Bed is in excellent condition and has Rhino liner sprayed-on coating with bedrail coverage as well. The shell is a shell. Windows need new seals, but slide nicely and latch. It keeps the dust out on the dirt roads.
I've decided to sell the truck because I need another diesel dually and don't have the room for 2 trucks in my wallet.
This is a no returns auction sale, and vehicle is sold as-is, where-is. Buyer will be responsible for pick up or shipping at their cost. I can make a couple referrals if needed.
Thanks for looking and good luck.

Some additional info........
In the two years that I have owned this truck, in addition to what I have mentioned above, I have replaced all the coolant hoses, water pump, Alternator, battery, serp belt, and water temp sensor for the ECU. It also has a K&N air filter and a racer's style "cold air kit", see pics.
Brakes are great, front wheel bearings checked last year and are fine.
So...... bid on. I hope this may answer any questions you had, but if not please ask.
Thanks.

Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads
Fri, Sep 11 2015Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.

Ford says 70% of its models to get stop-start by 2017
Sun, 15 Dec 2013Ford is following up on a report we posted a few weeks back that the Blue Oval would be adding stop-start technology to its entire model range. Now, the Dearborn-based automaker has announced that the fuel-saving feature would be available on 70 percent of the company's range by 2017.
Ford claims the technology will improve fuel economy by around 3.5 percent, although its actual effect will vary based on how the owner drives - apparently up to a 10-percent improvement is possible for those who sit in heavy traffic (Los Angelenos, this means you). The latest recipient of the technology is the updated 2014 Ford Fiesta with the company's three-cylinder EcoBoost powerplant.
Part of the reasoning for the new addition has to do with cost. Ford claims the tech is affordable and easy to implement. "Simply put, Auto Start-Stop helps customers use less fuel, which is an important component of Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability," Ford's global powertrain vice president, Bob Fascetti, said.
Trump to meet with CEOs from Ford, GM, and FCA
Tue, Jan 24 2017In the wake of his inauguration, President Donald Trump is set to meet with the CEOs of Ford, General Motors, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Tuesday morning to discuss jobs, the North American Free Trade Agreement, and potential tax cuts. Trump has been highly critical of American automakers for shipping jobs to Mexico and has threatened to impose heavy import fees on foreign-made vehicles. Trump has threatened to dissolve NAFTA in order to encourage automakers to manufacture cars in the US. Automotive News and Crain's Detroit Business are reporting that the group is set to discuss how to bring more auto industry jobs back to the US. Under NAFTA, many automakers, both foreign and domestic, have moved vehicle production out of the States to Mexico in order to cut costs. White House spokesperson Sean Spicer said Trump is looking forward to the meeting and discussing how to bring jobs back to America. Dismantling NAFTA would be a major blow to automakers. Trump blasted Ford during his campaign for manufacturing in Mexico, but FCA and GM also have factories south of the border. Earlier this month, Ford nixed plans for a $1.6 billion plant in Mexico, instead investing $700 million into an existing facility. At this year's Detroit Auto Show, the unspoken theme was America and American manufacturing. Expect the automakers to fight to keep NAFTA alive.
