Selling my very loved and trusted 1997 e350 powerstroke diesel van with the legendary 7.3 motor. This van is setup for work and travel. The front cabin has a fold down seat that converts into a very comfy bed and the back is blocked off and has a metal shelf on one side. I have travelled with my tools in here to remote jobsites and still have plenty of room for sleeping cooking etc. also includes trac-rac lumber racks. A Yakima box and Yakima swing away hitch bike carrier.

The motor in this truck is very strong quiet and efficient. I track all of my mileage and my highway average is 20 MPG. The transmission is smooth and strong only light and infrequent towing with this truck though I do have an electric brake controller hooked up. Hoses and such have been changed for biodiesel compatibility. It has run amsoil synthetics in both the motor and the tranny for over 250000 miles with dual remote filters. Excellent maintenance and service history. This truck drives and stops straight.

The body is in good shape with a few dings and scratches but it is in good presentable shape. It has lived a majority of if its life in the mountains of n. Cal so very very little rust.
The interior is clean and quiet. Seats have always been covered and are in good condition. The cabin area has additional insulation in the wall. Equipped with power door locks, windows and cruise control. There is a JVC cd/mp3/ USB head unit. Also includes an infinity 10" subwoofer and amplifier.

This truck has excellent maintenance and service records/history. My mechanic says that this is the smoothest running and cleanest 7.3 he has seen. No smoke at cold starts or under throttle.

A decent amount of work within the past few years means she is ready for another 150000. New fuel pump. Filters. Alternator, fresh batteries, Thermostat water pump and radiator. Recent front end work and brakes. Tires are at 25 percent. It has the super nice billstein shocks installed last year. Aftermarket wheels. New glowplugs last year when she was getting maintenance.
Only selling due to an extended travel to Costa rica for a new project. This truck drives and runs excellent and I do not want to sell her.... but.

This truck is ready to work and / or travel.

I can provide additional photos or video to give you a accurate view of this truck.

This van is being sold as is, with NO warranty expressed or implied.

I am selling from the west coast in california. Shipping if required is sole responsibility of the Buyer. I will assist in help with coordinating shipping, meeting you in my local area or picking you up at a local airport and you can drive it home.

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

"It's about some of the biggest crises in history. It's about who did it right and who did it wrong." - Jason Vines

2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

You might not be interested in owning a subcompact (B-segment) hatchback for $20,000. Let's be clear from the get go here: there are any number of reasonable arguments for staying away from the highest-content versions of these small cars. Ford's player in the B-segment arena is the newly updated 2014 Fiesta, and the Titanium trim represents the most luxurious instantiation of the model. We recently were loaned a Fiesta Titanium for a week, whose final sticker price hit $20,390, with navigation being the only standalone option added to the bottom line. By way of comparison, the most basic version of the all new, one-segment-up Mazda3 hatchback costs $19,740 with delivery and destination accounted for, and no options added on.
Hold on to that thought for a moment, we'll get back to it.

Ford recalls 1.3 million Fusions, MKZs: Steering wheels could come off

Wed, Mar 14 2018

When driving a car, the steering wheel is only expected to move in a rotational fashion, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. When it moves in some other direction, something is wrong, and when it moves the wrong way enough that it is no longer attached to the steering column, that's a really, really bad thing. And apparently, according to a recall issued by Ford, there are over 1.3 million Ford Fusions and Lincoln MKZs that are at risk of this happening. And at least two accidents and one injury have been attributed to the issue. Ford says the problem is that the steering wheel bolt that keeps the wheel attached to the column might not provide enough torque, resulting in the bolt slowly loosening and working its way off the column. The good news is that the fix is really simple. Ford will install a larger bolt with more threads along with a larger nylon patch to keep it all locked down. The fix is completely free to owners. Cars affected by the recall include 2014 to 2017 Fusions built built at the Flat Rock plant in Michigan between August 6, 2013, and February 29, 2016. Model year 2014-2018 Fusions and MKZs built at the Hermosillo factory in Mexico are also affected. So if you have one of those sedans, please get in touch with your local dealer to have the issue addressed. Related Video:
