1996 Ford F-250 7.3L Powerstroke OBS Crew Cab 4x4

I purchased this truck from the previous owner with what was claimed to be 156,000 miles. After doing extensive research through various Department of Motor Vehicle agencies, it was determined that the previous owner had rolled back the odometer. I have all the documentation to support this. Since purchasing the truck, I have put about 2,000 miles on it. I believe the truck has roughly 208,000 miles on it. The odometer currently reads 158,000 miles. 

While owning the truck, I have repaired some of the most commonly known issues found in the 7.3L Powerstroke engine. It has a current Virginia state inspection. The truck is very clean, both inside and out. It runs extremely strong, pulls hard through all of the gears, rides smooth and straight, and turns heads whenever I take it out for a drive. I absolutely love the truck and baby it, but I am downsizing and no longer need a third vehicle. 

Below is a list of what I have done to the truck since I purchased it a few years back. All work that has been performed on the truck has been done by a diesel specialty shop and is fully documented with receipts. 

  • Bed liner
  • Over-the-rail bed cover
  • Repaired loose dipstick
  • Installed new transmission pan gasket
  • Installed four (4) new 16x8 teflon coated wheels (less than 1,000 miles)
  • Installed four (4) new Nitto Terra Grappler tires 285/75/R16 (less than 1,000 miles)
  • Installed new Ford Motor Company fuel injector control module and connectors
  • Installed new fuel filter
  • Installed new K&N air filter
  • Installed eight (8) new Accurate Diesel glow plugs
  • Installed new Accurate Diesel glow plug relay
  • Installed new valve cover gaskets
  • Installed new valve cover pigtail harnesses

A closer look at the 2015 Ford F-150

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

Despite having to share Ford's Detroit Auto Show stand with the hot new 2015 Mustang, the brand-new F-150 was arguably an even more important debut. Why? Ford moved some 700,000 examples of its F-Series truck in 2012, making it not only the best-selling pickup truck, but the top-selling vehicle in the US, by a long-shot.
The 2015 F-150 raises the bar for pickup trucks in a big way, with big-time use of aluminum. Because of this, roughly 700 pounds have been removed from the truck's overall weight, making it even more efficient than before, while still offering all of the capability that pickup owners expect. And with a host of engines under the hood, including a new 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, the 2015 F-150 will surely offer something for everyone.
During the Detroit Auto Show, west coast editor Michael Harley took a closer look at the new F-150, talking to some of the truck's engineers. Have a look at the full video, below.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
