Whitmore Lake, Michigan, United States

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.

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.

Shelby GT350 to be auctioned for charity at Barrett-Jackson in January

Fri, Dec 26 2014

If you just have to be the first person in the world to possess the latest Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang, then you need to be bidding during the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ, on January 17. That's because Ford is offering the chance to own the inaugural production example of its latest premiere pony car there. The buyer of the first GT350 gets to choose from any color and all of the available packages for their car. Although, the real highlight is probably being among the first to listen to the 5.2-liter V8 under the hood with its flat-plane crankshaft. Ford promises that the mill makes over 500 horsepower and more than 400 pound-feet of torque. To sweeten the deal even further, all of the proceeds of the sale go to the JDRF, a charity that funds type 1 diabetes research. There's no reserve on the auction for the GT350 but don't expect a bargain. Last year, the first 2015 'Stang raised $300,000 for the JDRF at the Barrett-Jackson sale, and the initial Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 brought in $650,000 for charity. You can read Ford's entire announcement about the event below. FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO SELL NEW SHELBY GT350 MUSTANG AT BARRETT-JACKSON SCOTTSDALE AUCTION TO BENEFIT JDRF First publicly available production unit of the all-new Shelby GT350® Mustang to be auctioned by Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction, with all proceeds benefiting JDRF Winning bidder will be able to choose from available colors and packages for Shelby GT350 Ford-sponsored ride-and-drives during the auction will feature a full lineup of 2015 vehicles Ford Motor Company will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the legendary Shelby GT350 Mustang by auctioning the first production unit of the new-generation car available to the public for charity at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, Arizona. All proceeds will benefit JDRF, the country's leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes research. Live coverage of the auction of the Shelby GT350 will air on Velocity on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2015. The winning bidder of lot No. 3008 – selling at No Reserve – will become owner of the coveted first retail production unit of Ford Shelby GT350, and choose from available Shelby GT350 colors and packages. In January 1964, Carroll Shelby and Ford Motor Company forever altered the automotive industry with the introduction of the GT350. It was offered through Ford dealers from 1965 through 1970.

Ford's struggles in China continue as November sales drop 8 percent

Mon, Dec 11 2017

Ford's sales in China fell 8 percent in November from a year ago, following a 5 percent decline in October, the U.S. automaker said on Monday. The firm's sales in the first 11 months of the year totaled 1.06 million vehicles, down 6 percent from the same period a year ago. Ford's China sales growth has lagged behind rivals in the world's top auto market this year, with the carmaker now looking to overhaul its strategy to revive growth in China under new chief executive Jim Hackett. Among other moves, the review of its China operations will likely see Ford focus on segments such as electric cars and electric commercial vans, with China encouraging to help clean up its polluted and congested city centers. Ford is looking to roll out more new-energy vehicles for China and is planning to experiment with a more direct selling approach in a partnership with Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.
