Hello guys. I purchased this vehicle from a police auction in Columbus Ohio. Every vehicle sold there is issued a SALVAGE TITLE, after passing a BMV inspection it receives a REBUILT SALVAGE TITLE. A quick check of the auto report will verify that this vehicle has never been "totaled", nor had flood damage, therefore the "rebuilt salvage" label is a technicality. You can also call the Franklin County Sheriff's Department, which is listed as the previous owner. The good: I had a locksmith make a key - it started instantly (after waiting for the glow plugs, of course) doesn't smoke, and it passed the "blow by" test. I am not a mechanic, but the engine is strong; it will get up and go. The bad: Besides needing a little TLC (crack in driver side mirror, dime sized hole and missing handle on tailgate, dent in rear quarter panel that looks like someone "butted" or kicked it) there is a noticeable hesitation when shifting from 1 to 2 gear. It happens when you press too hard on the accelerator pedal from a stopped position. However, If you gradually press it, or slightly take your foot off of the pedal when you notice the hesitation, it will shift fine.I was told it could be a fuel filter, fuel pump, stuck valve in transmission accumulator or a broken spring in the accumulator, which can be fixed for less than a few hundred buck by dropping the transmission pan. (Youtube accumulator for this model) As I said, I am not a mechanic, but there is a lot of life left in this truck, If you have mechanical knowledge and ability, here is an inexpensive truck for you. If you believe that you know what the issue is and want to fix it here, that is OK, if you live far away, you should tow it home. If not for the shifting issue, I wouldn't be afraid to drive this truck anywhere in the country. Reserve is low. Thanks for looking.

Whatever the shifting issue is, it is not major, this best describes what the truck is experiencing. THE ENGINE IS STRONG! Read my description again.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP-TXqC3f9g

Ford updates Power Stroke diesel V8, strengthens F-450, tweaks King Ranch
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford is giving its F-Series Super Duty trucks some upgrades for 2015, and we're happy to say that one of them is an improved Power Stroke diesel V8. Also, Ford is strengthening the top-of-the-line F-450 to handle more abuse. And if wild west-style luxury is your thing, the automaker has performed minor cosmetic updates to its King Ranch Edition trucks, as well.
The turbocharged 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 is currently rated at 400 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque, and Ford only tells us the new and improved Power Stroke can "produce power beyond today's" engine. What, then, did Ford actually improve upon? First, the Blue Oval swapped in a new, larger turbocharger. The new Garrett GT37 turbine unit is 72.5 millimeters in diameter, eclipsing the old GT32's 64-mm diameter piece. Ford states output increases with the new turbo setup, but since the new turbocharger operates at a lower peak pressure than the old one, the automaker was able to eliminate the wastegate system and reduce the engine's complexity. Ford even redesigned the turbo's oil and cooling lines to make the powerplant simpler. A byproduct of the larger turbo is better engine exhaust braking, which is controlled manually by a button on the dashboard.
Ford claims the upgraded diesel engine is more powerful, more robust, more efficient and more refined than before.
KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
