This is a 1992 Ford F350 with the 7.3L diesel engine with 4X4 and it's a crew cab.  It took me a very long time to find a truck that had all these options prior to me buying it.  When I found the truck it was located in southern TX, I flew down and drove it all the way home.  Here in MI is is very hard to find a truck that isn't eaten away with rust and this one is in really great shape.  I have driven it daily throughout the past 3 years and it has never left me stranded anywhere.  We are moving and I can't get all my stuff to the other side of the country so this has to go, and I'm really bummed by having to sell it.  

Here are the good points to the truck:
  • 3/0 battery cables that were put in about a year ago
  • 2 new batteries that were put in about 2 months ago
  • Electric fuel pump put in a mont ago (Dura Lift about $250 worth of new parts)
  • Transfer case rebuilt in February
  • New carrier bearing 2 months ago
  • Tires are in fair shape
  • Engine has run great
  • Glow plugs are in good shape
  • Installed manual glow plug button
  • Transmission works properly
  • Rear seat and cab is in really good shape
  • Proper coolant has been run in this truck (I use fleet guard)
  • Good block heater
  • Its been very reliable (I am a firefighter and use it to make runs from home)
Here are the bad points of the truck:
  • 284+K miles, the truck still runs great though
  • Power steering hoses leak
  • Tranny coolant lines are leaking (not much but I would replace them the next time I flushed the coolant)
  • The headlights suck (replaced the originals with some cheap clear lens ones and they are not that good)
  • There is a tear in the drivers side seat
  • Glow plug relay (I'm guessing this is the issue) works when it wants
  • There are two clearance lights that the lens are broken on
  • The paint is horrible (the old paints just weren't formulated very well) You can see in the pictures that there isn't much clear coat
  • There is a dent in the hood from what appears that someone tried to shut the hood while the hinge was locked in the open position
  • The front bumper has a dent and is also rusted through on one corner
  • The interior light works sometimes when you open the door but not at other times
  • The door locks don't work for all doors
  • There appears to be some bondo in the drivers door
  • There is rust in the bottom corners of both fenders
  • The mirror switch for auto mirrors is not working (this just started in the past couple weeks)
  • Someone cut a hole in the bed for what I'm guessing was going to be a stack exhaust
  • The dash has many cracks
  • The vent slats are all non functional
  • The door panels all are in need of either being replaced or worked on
  • Drivers side seat belt doesn't fully retract
  • The rear gas tank I have never used because the previous owner told me that it didn't work, and I have never looked into it
  • Dents and scratches
I'm sure I have missed both some good points and some bad points so ask about anything that you might have questions about.  If you're asking yourself why would you be interested in this truck, I will tell you why I bought it and why I hate seeing it go.  I think this is one of the best F body trucks of all time.  I needed an option to haul my wife and four kids in the winter and this truck could hold everyone and being 4X4 it could make it through the snow.  The 7.3 naturally aspired is slow but it just keeps going.  This truck has been rock solid for me, I don't know if anyone had done any work to the engine prior to me owning it but seems like it has many miles left in it.  All the guys at the fire department love this truck and many of them want to buy it but they are firefighters and don't have any money.  There is very little to be done to keep this truck functional.  The body and interior could use some work but it hasn't bothered me.  I feel safe in this truck.
Due to the age of the truck I can't promise you that it will run forever or offer any type of warranty.  Because I am moving across the country the truck will need to be picked up no later than May 3rd unless we have worked out some type of arrangement prior to the end of the auction. The hitch isn't included in the auction but there is a diamond plate tool box that does go with the truck.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.

Ford evaluating new Fiesta RS?

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Word coming in from across the pond has it that Ford is working on developing the business case to create a new Fiesta RS. The development is encouraged by the extremely positive reception the existing Fiesta ST has garnered to date, and the emergence of the above-pictured Fiesta RS WRC rally car, but it'll take more than goodwill to make a more extreme version a reality.
According to Auto Express, a new roadgoing Fiesta RS would almost certainly be based closely on the ST version, albeit with some vital differences. Its 1.6-liter turbo four would be increased from 180 horsepower to somewhere around 230 hp, and that powertrain would be accompanied by lightweight alloys inside blistered wheel arches, a stripped-out interior and possibly lightweight bodywork.
The vehicle's approval would reportedly require a strong business case in Europe, and not just in the UK where Ford hot hatches traditionally enjoy a strong following. It's unclear whether the Fiesta RS would potentially make the transatlantic voyage to American showrooms, but between it and the larger Focus RS, hopefully the Blue Oval wouldn't leave its home market out of the action altogether.
