1996 Ford F-350 on 2040-cars
El Rito, New Mexico, United States
If you have questions email email me at: jodeewacyk@netzero.net .
For sale is an extremely clean, accident free, low mileage, 1996 Ford F-350 Crew Cab XLT 4X4, with the legendary
7.3 Liter Powersroke Diesel Engine driving through a ZF-5 Speed Manual Transmission. This was a 1 owner truck that
I purchased from the original owner here in New Mexico. As you can see he took amazing of care of it and left the
truck completely stock other than installing a Skyjacker 4 Inch Suspension Lift Kit. All regular and routine
maintenance was always conducted by Ford Motor Company technicians, and the oil was changed every 5,000 miles. The
body of the truck is in immaculate condition, with absolutely no rust or damage anywhere. The paint is also in
great condition as well, with no major scratches or damage anywhere, but does have some very small dings, and
scuffs here and there that you would expect to see on a truck of this age. There is a very small area on the
passenger side of the bed where the clear cote has peeled a little, but over-all the paint is in great condition.
The inside of the bed is in excellent condition with absolutely no dints or damage anywhere, and has an older spray
in bed liner as well. The truck has the stock premium aluminum wheels with brand new 315X75R16 (35 Inch) Cooper STT
Mud Terrain Tires with a full warranty, and new OEM valve stems. The 7.3 Liter Powerstroke Diesel engine runs
great, and is completely stock and un-tampered with, and has never had a chip or programmer installed. A brand new
Diamond Eye 5 Inch turbo back exhaust system was just installed for better fuel economy, and lower exhaust
temperatures helping pro-long the life of the engine. The engine has absolutely no leaks or problems what-so-ever,
and is completely reliable and mechanically sound. I would not hesitate driving this truck anywhere. The engine oil
was just changed over to Royal Purple Full Synthetic 15W-40 and a K&N Oil Filter was installed. The fuel filter,
serpentine belt, and the belt tensioner assembly were also just replaced. I also purchased two rechargeable K&N Air
Cleaners to replace the stock paper filter for better fuel economy. The extra K&N Air Filter is a spare that’s
included with the truck. The drive train and 4X4 on the truck all work flawlessly and as it should. The front
differential is the highly sought after solid axle Dana 60 with premium manual locking hubs , which drives straight
down the road with no slop or play in the steering wheel. The rear differential is the heavy duty Ford Sterling
with the limited slip package. Both the front and rear differentials have a 4:10 gear ratio. The ZF-5 Speed Manual
Transmission feels like new, and shifts tight with no grinding or slop what-so-ever. The glass is all in excellent
shape on the truck other than a small crack in the front windshield caused by a rock on the highway. The interior
is in excellent shape and looks brand new with absolutely no stains, rips, or tears anywhere. The front seats are
bucket seats with the center jump seat/center console, and the rear seat is a bench seat. The dash is in excellent
shape with absolutely no cracks or splits anywhere, and has a brand new carpet dash mat from Dash Design. A new sun
visor/dash shade is also included that was custom made for the truck. The truck still has the stock Ford radio with
the tape cassette that still works great. The truck has power windows, power door locks, tilt wheel, cruise
control, a warm heater, and an ice cold air conditioner. This is a very clean, reliable, extremely hard to find
truck that has never been abused, and has always been adult owned and well maintained. These are the last of the
real diesel trucks made that were built to last. I have a complete binder of receipts for all the parts that were
purchased, as well as all the routine services that were completed on the truck that will be included at the time
of purchase

Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.
8 cars we're most looking forward to driving in 2015
Mon, Jan 5 2015Now that 2014 is officially in the books, it's time to look ahead. And following our list of the cars we liked best last year, we're now setting our sights at the hot new metal that's coming our way in 2015. Some of these, we've already seen. And some are still set to debut during the 2015 auto show season. But these are the machines that keep us going – the things on the horizon that we're particularly stoked to drive, and drive hard. Jeep Renegade Not the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Not the Ford Mustang GT350. Not the new John Cooper Works Mini. Nope, I'm looking forward to the adorable, trail-rated Jeep Renegade. And that's because I really, really, really like our long-term Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I do not, however, care too much for the Cherokee's looks, and I really don't like its $38,059 price tag. The Renegade Trailhawk, meanwhile, promises much of the same rough-and-tumble character as its big brother, but at what we expect will be a more reasonable price (I'm personally wagering on the baby Jeep's off-road model starting at no more than $23,000). With a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a nine-speed automatic, it should also be a bit easier to fill than the V6-powered Cherokee. Also, I can't help but love the way the Renegade looks. It's like someone took a Wrangler, squished it by 50 percent and then handed it off to George Clinton for a healthy dose of funk. The interior, with its bright, expressive trims and color schemes should also be a really nice place to spend some time. I'll be attending the Renegade's launch later this month, so I'll have a much shorter wait than my colleagues. Here's hoping the baby Jeep lives up to my expectations. – Brandon Turkus Associate Editor Mazda MX-5 Miata Here's an uncomfortable truth: I'd rather spend a day driving a properly sorted Mazda MX-5 Miata of any generation on a winding road than I would nearly any other vehicle, regardless of power, price or prestige. It's not just that I prize top-down driving and enjoy the Miata's small size because it gives me more road to play with. I just find there's more motoring joy to be had with high-fidelity handling and an uncorrupted car-to-driver communication loop than I do with face-distorting power or grip – let alone valet-stand gravitas. But perhaps most of all, I love Miatas because they can deliver that level of feedback and driver reward at modest speeds that won't put the locals on edge or endanger lives – you can use more of the car more of the time.
Ford opens 88 new dealerships in China in a single day
Mon, 23 Jun 2014"Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last year." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China during the first half of 2014." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last month." None of those statements - even the last one - would seem unbelievable. Saying "Ford opened up 88 dealerships in China last Thursday," though, is a bit more dramatic.
Yes, on June 19 alone, Ford opened the doors on nearly 100 showrooms in the People's Republic, boosting the Blue Oval's total presence in the country to 750 dealerships. Of course, while an overabundance of dealers in the US proved troublesome for American manufacturers back in 2008 and 2009, there's no such concern in China. Considering the country's huge population and the breakneck pace of the local auto industry, you could be forgiven for being surprised Ford only has 750 outlets at this stage.
What's notable about this most recent push, besides the sheer volume of new stores, is their location. Over three-quarters of the new dealerships are in so-called Tier 4 cities, which are smaller towns that still contain millions of people. This fits with Ford's strategy in China of avoiding the bigger battlegrounds that are already dominated by competitors and focusing on setting up shop in newer markets that may have been overlooked, according to Automotive News.
