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.

Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

Next Shelby Mustang to wear GT350 nameplate

Fri, 21 Jun 2013

Earlier this month, rumors started to swirl 'round the web about the next-generation Ford SVT Mustang - the halo version of the all-new 2015 'Stang seen testing in the gallery above. Originally, we heard that the Shelby GT500 moniker would be dumped in favor of "a name you're familiar with," which some sources guessed could mean a return of the Cobra nameplate.
That might not be correct. According to Road & Track, citing a report from Mustangs Daily, the new range-topping Mustang will bring back the Shelby GT350 name - currently used on an aftermarket version of Ford's Pony produced by Shelby American (take a look at our recent Quick Spin of that car). Expect the new GT350 to be quite a bit different than the current GT500 - it will be all motor, using a V8 that's derived from the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Coyote engine (though it will no doubt have a higher displacement). The GT350 will be a lot more powerful than the next Mustang GT, which is expected to offer something like 450 horsepower, but won't be quite as absurd as the 662-horsepower GT500 we currently enjoy.
The Shelby GT350 will reportedly bow with the rest of the new Mustang range at the 2014 New York Auto Show, which coincides exactly with the original Mustang's debut at the New York World's Fair in 1964. If that seems far out, don't worry, we'll be seeing the rest of the 2015 Mustang range before then, but Road & Track reports that the 2014 Detroit Auto Show stage will be reserved for the reveal of the next Ford F-150 pickup.
