This truck was purchased new in 1999 by the Town of Atlanta, Indiana.  Since that time, the Utility Department have utilized this truck for plowing snow, transporting parts and supplies, and general daily transportation.  This truck is far from perfect, but it's very functional.  Here are a few details:

The good:

8' Western Snow Plow
-
Joystick control.  New pump, and solenoid.  Regularly serviced.  The plow was completely disassembled repainted a few years ago.  Fairly new cutting edge.  The trip shock absorber is missing, so the plow slams if tripped.  Plow operates well overall.

Western Tailgate Salt Spreader
-A bit rusty, but worked well when we stopped using it a few years ago (we bought a new truck, equipped with a larger spreader).  The Salt Spreader has been stored with cover on, in a shed, out of the weather.

Truck has many new parts:
-New spark plugs and boots (129,269mi)
-New rear shocks (126,879mi)
-New alternator (121,283mi)
-New shift linkage bushings, plunger, and tube (120,273mi)
-New blower motor, blower motor resistor, fan switch, temperature blend door actuator (119,236mi)
-New transmission filter and fluid (119,060mi)
-New starter (117,700mi)
-New heater core (116,000mi)
-New right front axle seals, axle housing, hub bearing (111,715mi)
-New front and rear brake rotors and pads, front right/left calipers, right rear caliper (110,708mi)

In addition to the above list of repairs, the truck has been regularly serviced since 2008 (incomplete/missing records pre-'08).  Regular oil changes, front end lubrication, fluid checks, filter changes, etc have been performed.  Full coolant flush was performed at 119,060mi.  Tires are at about 40% tread.  The truck includes a good matching spare tire.

There don't appear to be any leaks from the engine, transmission, differentials, cooling system, fuel system, etc. The stains on the ground in the pictures are from another piece of equipment.

The Weatherguard toolbox pictured is included with the truck.  The lid of the toolbox no longer stays up on its own, due to bad/broken struts.  Its also pretty rusty, particularly on the lid.


Now the bad:
-The engine uses around 1qt of oil every 1000-1500mi.
-The truck runs rough at idle, and hesitates/misfires badly under moderate acceleration. Once cruising speed is reached, the truck does pretty well. 
-The engine knocks a bit.
-The exhaust manifolds leak a bit.
-The left front axle needs work (clanks when driving while engaged).
-The front end is worn.  Ball joints may need to be replaced.
-The A/C system does not operate.  The truck seems to be stuck in heat, because turning the temperature selector to "cold" does not seem to effect the air temperature.  As stated above, the blend door actuator has been replaced.  May need temperature control switch?
-The fuel gauge does not work (always reads "Full").
-The brakes work well, but squeal when used.
-The under-bed spare tire cable is broken.
-The left front wheel cover is missing.
-The headliner is falling.  It's currently pinned up.
-The dome light is missing its cover, and has no bulb.
-There are cracks, scuffs, and a few holes in the dashboard.
-The exterior of the truck has dents, scratches, and rust all around.  As seen in the pictures, the tailgate is badly dented, but operates correctly.


Please message if you have any questions.  I have been as accurate as I can be, but I will update this listing if I remember anything else.


Local pickup only.

The 1999 Ford F-250, and any accessories attached thereon, including, but not limited to the Western Snow Plow, and Western Salt Spreader, are being sold together, AS IS.  No warranties are hereby written or implied.

Ford launches mobile coronavirus test program with partners

Wed, Apr 15 2020

For its latest coronavirus act, Ford has joined forces with a Detroit university, its affiliated physicians group and an Arab-American human services nonprofit to launch a mobile Covid-19 testing program for symptomatic first responders, health care workers and corrections officers in Michigan. Since Monday, Ford has been supplying Lincoln Navigators and drivers from the Lincoln Personal Driver pilot service, both offered through its Ford X in-house incubator. They’re equipped with tents, sanitation, power and Wi-Fi. Partners Wayne State University, the Wayne State University Physician Group and Dearborn-based ACCESS are providing staff and medical kits. The program is billed as an extension of drive-through testing sites operating in Detroit and Dearborn, but capable instead of bringing testing to locations and people who lack access to it. The mobile Navigator test vehicles will be capable of testing up to 100 people per day at no cost, with results returned within 24 to 36 hours. Testing will start at sites in southeast Michigan and then branch out to other parts of the state, including Battle Creek, Lansing and Grand Rapids. Michigan has been a major epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S., with 27,001 confirmed cases and 1,768 deaths as of the most current data from Tuesday. The state has been under a stay-at-home order since March 23. With its factories remaining temporarily idled for vehicle production, Ford has kept busy branching out into the fight against the novel coronavirus on multiple fronts. It kicked off production of a waist-mounted, powered air-purifying respirator it designed with 3M on Tuesday, and it plans to begin building ventilators at a plant in Michigan next week. Earlier this week, Ford announced it was helping a supplier that makes airbags use the material instead for reusable medical gowns for health care workers. Employees are also manufacturing protective face masks at its Van Dyke Transmission Plant, plastic face shields at a subsidiary near Detroit and helping a medical device company ramp up production of Covid-19 field testing kits.

Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
