1995 2wd F250 with a 7.3L Powerstroke
Single Cab, Long Box, with dual tanks. Pretty much bone stock. Spent most of its life as a fleet vehicle. I've put on about the last 35K miles or so.
I replaced the carpet, seat, radio, headliner, and window weather stripping when I got the truck. I put down Frost King insulation over rubberized undercoating to help kill sound in the cab, then laid down new carpet with mass backing from Stockinteriors.com, and it works pretty well. Truck has a DIN style CD/DVD player. It doesn't have the flip up screen, just the small single screen, but the built in GPS does work. My smart phone is quicker, but it does do a decent job.
I replaced the Transmission last january and its got around 10K on it since then. I had paperwork on the job, but can't find it. I do know when AAMCO rebuilt they also replaced the torque converter and added a shift kit tailored for daily driving and towing. It drives and shifts very smoothly.
I rebuilt most of the outer front end last spring, to include the driver's side spindle, all new bearings and seals, new hubs, new discs, new brake pads, new calipers, and new lines. I also replaced the rear hard and soft lines. The rear brakes are currently not connected. One of the bleeder zerts snapped off, so the line is capped. I have included in the sale a new brake cylinder, I just never got around to installing it.
Just put two new batteries in the truck back in August, the AC pump with a recharge and a new serpentine belt in July, and the vacuum pump back in May.
It has normal wear and tear, a little salt rust,, and plenty of life left in her.
The truck runs great for what it is: a 15 y.o. work truck with a nice radio and almost 300,000 miles. it'll give someone a good work truck, camp truck, wood druck, or first truck for a low price. The rear tires are great, and the front ones are showing wear. I'll also include three spares on good rims. The tires are a run-at-your-own-risk type of item, but the rims are good and hold air if someone wanted a summer and winter set.
I'm also including with the truck the Haynes, Chilton, and Diesel tech manuals. They were a valuable resource when I was doing maintenance.
Now for the bad:
The glow plugs don't work. The truck starts and runs great in the summer, if its plugged in (it has a block heater), or with a shot of stating fluid. I don't know if its the plugs or the solenoid. I always kept it plugged in, so I didn't notice it until a particularly late day at work.
The volt meter does not register. I can show with a multi-meter that the alternator is charging, but the gauge isn't sweeping. Not sure why.
The cable selector switch between the dash and the air box is not working, so the air is either all the way to warm, or all the way to cold. I can show the buyer how I bypassed this issue, but its kind of difficult to explain without hands-on demonstration.
I would have no issues driving the truck cross country. It runs well, is comfortable and surprisingly quiet, and got decent mileage for a large vehicle.
The truck is for sale locally as well, and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for a buyer. This is a no reserve auction. If you bid, and are the high bidder, you will own it. I expect 500 non-refundable deposit via paypal with 24 hours, and the remainder via cash or cashier's check when the buyer picks it up.
Sellers with recent negative, or less than 15 feedback must contact me prior to bidding or risk having their bids cancelled. I will respond to any questions and provide my phone number for any questions asked through ebay.

NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall
Wed, 05 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.
Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!
DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
