If you have questions email email me at: jodeewacyk@netzero.net .
For sale is an extremely clean, accident free, low mileage, 1996 Ford F-350 Crew Cab XLT 4X4, with the legendary
7.3 Liter Powersroke Diesel Engine driving through a ZF-5 Speed Manual Transmission. This was a 1 owner truck that
I purchased from the original owner here in New Mexico. As you can see he took amazing of care of it and left the
truck completely stock other than installing a Skyjacker 4 Inch Suspension Lift Kit. All regular and routine
maintenance was always conducted by Ford Motor Company technicians, and the oil was changed every 5,000 miles. The
body of the truck is in immaculate condition, with absolutely no rust or damage anywhere. The paint is also in
great condition as well, with no major scratches or damage anywhere, but does have some very small dings, and
scuffs here and there that you would expect to see on a truck of this age. There is a very small area on the
passenger side of the bed where the clear cote has peeled a little, but over-all the paint is in great condition.
The inside of the bed is in excellent condition with absolutely no dints or damage anywhere, and has an older spray
in bed liner as well. The truck has the stock premium aluminum wheels with brand new 315X75R16 (35 Inch) Cooper STT
Mud Terrain Tires with a full warranty, and new OEM valve stems. The 7.3 Liter Powerstroke Diesel engine runs
great, and is completely stock and un-tampered with, and has never had a chip or programmer installed. A brand new
Diamond Eye 5 Inch turbo back exhaust system was just installed for better fuel economy, and lower exhaust
temperatures helping pro-long the life of the engine. The engine has absolutely no leaks or problems what-so-ever,
and is completely reliable and mechanically sound. I would not hesitate driving this truck anywhere. The engine oil
was just changed over to Royal Purple Full Synthetic 15W-40 and a K&N Oil Filter was installed. The fuel filter,
serpentine belt, and the belt tensioner assembly were also just replaced. I also purchased two rechargeable K&N Air
Cleaners to replace the stock paper filter for better fuel economy. The extra K&N Air Filter is a spare that’s
included with the truck. The drive train and 4X4 on the truck all work flawlessly and as it should. The front
differential is the highly sought after solid axle Dana 60 with premium manual locking hubs , which drives straight
down the road with no slop or play in the steering wheel. The rear differential is the heavy duty Ford Sterling
with the limited slip package. Both the front and rear differentials have a 4:10 gear ratio. The ZF-5 Speed Manual
Transmission feels like new, and shifts tight with no grinding or slop what-so-ever. The glass is all in excellent
shape on the truck other than a small crack in the front windshield caused by a rock on the highway. The interior
is in excellent shape and looks brand new with absolutely no stains, rips, or tears anywhere. The front seats are
bucket seats with the center jump seat/center console, and the rear seat is a bench seat. The dash is in excellent
shape with absolutely no cracks or splits anywhere, and has a brand new carpet dash mat from Dash Design. A new sun
visor/dash shade is also included that was custom made for the truck. The truck still has the stock Ford radio with
the tape cassette that still works great. The truck has power windows, power door locks, tilt wheel, cruise
control, a warm heater, and an ice cold air conditioner. This is a very clean, reliable, extremely hard to find
truck that has never been abused, and has always been adult owned and well maintained. These are the last of the
real diesel trucks made that were built to last. I have a complete binder of receipts for all the parts that were
purchased, as well as all the routine services that were completed on the truck that will be included at the time
of purchase

Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?
Mon, 24 Feb 2014Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.
Ford to cease Australian automaking operations after 90 years
Thu, 23 May 2013Ford began manufacturing cars in Australia in 1925 with the Model T. In 2016, Ford will stop manufacturing cars Down Under, including the Falcon and the Territory SUV. Ford Australia CEO Bob Graziano has reportedly confirmed the closure of the company's Broadmeadows assembly plant and the Geelong engine plant, both in the state of Victoria. There will be 650 jobs lost at Broadmeadows, 510 sacrificed at Geelong. Of the roughly 3,000 workers the Blue Oval has in Australia, it's said it will try to retain about 1,000 of them at its R&D and product development facilities.
The writing hasn't just been on the wall, it's been a regular item in all the papers and on Ford's bottom line for years. As recently as 2003, Ford sold nearly 75,000 Falcons, but over the next four years, annual sales dropped by something like 10,000 units, and over the last two years, it has sold less than 20,000 per year. It isn't only Ford that has suffered - sales of the other large, locally produced sedan, the Holden Commodore, have also gone over the precipice, triggering the same kind of angst about Holden's continued existence. Ford is the smallest of Australia's local automakers, Holden and Toyota the others, and has posted losses of $AUD141 million last year ($136M US) and $AUD600 million ($580M US) in the past five years. Graziano said the cost of manufacturing is simply too expensive in the country, twice as high as Europe and three times as high as Asia, and there no way to make a business case for staying in the country.
In January 2012, Ford Australia announced it would stay in the country until at least 2016, but by July of the same year, most outside observers were quietly declaring that 2016 would be the last year of Ford Down Under, and even the speculation was making other observers nervous. Ford received money from the Victorian government last year to aid its refresh of the Falcon and Territory, which will continue on schedule for the 2014 model year. A front- and all-wheel-drive sedan on a global platform is predicted to replace the Falcon, with some other SUV expected to replace the Territory. The company says it still intends to expand its lineup in the country.
