Up for bid is my 1999 F350 XLT Diesel Crew CabTruck. I have only owned the truck for 2 years and I hate to see her go, but my business has no use for it anymore.
The Goods:
The truck is a 4 door crewcab with tons of space in the cab and is a shortbed (6'10") w/ bed-liner. The engine runs great and the truck only has 154,000 miles which is nothing for a 7.3 Diesel, which in my opinion is one of the best diesels ever made for a truck. These engines have been known to last up to 500,000 miles if maintained and are tanks!! Not many Ford diesels out there in the 1999-2002 year range that have such low mileage! I have dumped a lot into this truck. I added a new Softtopper retractable cap on the back last year ($800.00), which is nice for keeping tools and equipment dry and it is sweet because it can be put up and taken down in about 5 minutes!! A year ago I also replaced all of the glowplugs in the engine and it fires up great in the coldest of weather, it also has a plug in block heater for the coldest of nights. I also just had a new radiator/ transmission cooler and water pump installed along with a new starter ($2,200.00 of labor/parts!!) I also installed digital tow controls ($400.00), which are sweet if you ever have to haul heavier loads and need adjust the gain on trailers precisely. The truck has a 4.5" lift with 34.5" tires and also has a 4.5 inch straigt piped exhaust with digital readout on dash and performance chip, this gives it a nice whistle! The tires have about 1/3"- 1/2 tread and will last for a while. I installed all new custom sized shocks on the truck just last year. The truck has an automatic transmission and has 4WD with manual front locking hubs and the transmission shifts as it should and the 4WD works great with no problems. The truck has a heavy duty hitch receptacle in the rear and a 8" drop down hitch with 2" ball included, and I also installed a front 10,000 lb hitch a year ago behind the front bumper, which can be used for a ton of things. I also installed a ram air w/ an S&B re-usable filter which improves mileage and performance a little.
Bads:
Not many bads with this truck, but the paint is not in great condition. It looks fine on 9/10ths of the visible truck, but there is some clear coat chipping off primarily on the top of the roof (not visible) and it is starting to work it's way down to the doors. The passenger side rear cab door is the worst of it and you can see it in the pictures I posted. If I were to keep the truck I would probably just get a cheap paint job at Maaco, or just leave it the way it is as it is a work truck. There is no visible rust or anything major it is just a surface problem and it has remained the same for the last 2 years.
Overall this truck is in great mechanical condition and is a tank that will last many years for it's next owner. It is a tank and has been a great workhorse for the last two years! Good luck bidding!

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Court puts kibosh on apartheid lawsuit against Ford, Daimler
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Ford and Daimler have scored a major victory in a long-running lawsuit filed in US federal court by unnamed South African nationals. The suit alleges that both manufacturers and their subsidiaries sold their vehicles to the South African military, despite knowing that they'd be involved in violently putting down anti-apartheid protesters.
According to Reuters, South African plaintiffs filed the case under the 223-year-old Alien Torts Statute, a law which allows foreign nationals to file charges in US courts for perceived breaches of what was originally international law, but now more closely relates to violations of human rights.
And while the case - which also involves computer manufacturer IBM - has been tied up in federal courts for years, a recent case from the Supreme Court struck down a similar suit against Royal Dutch Petroleum (Shell), arguing that the ATS doesn't apply to corporations or to conduct if it occurred outside the US. In short, the law applies to individuals, but not corporations like Ford or Daimler. A US appeals court ruled that the conditions apply in this case, potentially drawing this long-running saga to a close, as the defendants will now be allowed to request that the case be dismissed in district court.
Recharge Wrap-up: Ford 1.0L EcoBoost a hit in Europe; Build a tiny inverter, win $1 million
Mon, Aug 11 2014In Europe, Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is the best-selling turbocharged gasoline engine. The three-cylinder motor powers 20 percent of new Fords sold in Europe. Earlier this year, it won its third International Engine of the Year award, and between January and June, it was sold in about 120,000 cars. So far this year, 38 percent of Fords sold in the Netherlands, 35 percent in Denmark and 32 percent in Switzerland have been powered by the 1.0-liter EcoBoost. The engine's turbocharger spins at 248,000 rpm, and provides 24 psi of pressure. The engine produces up to 138 horsepower, depending on the version. Read more in the press release below. When lithium-ion battery packs are retired from the road, remanufacturing, repurposing, and recycling are worthwhile options, according to a study by Mineta Transportation Institute. The study included a cost-benefit analysis of those three options, and found remanufacturing to be the best route. To get the most out of them, batteries should be tested and have their damaged cells replaced then put back to use. Repurposing is the second best option, using the remaining available charge for something besides cars. Recycling on its own isn't profitable, but it could make economic sense with "increased technological breakthroughs." Learn more at Recycling International or download the report here. A smaller inverter for EVs can win you $1 million. The Little Box Challenge is an open competition to build a power inverter with a density of at least 50 watts per cubic inch. Google and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) are offering the hefty prize to the team that builds the inverter with the highest power density within an enclosed volume of 40 cubic inches. Teams must register by September 30. Read more at Green Car Congress or learn more at the Little Box Challenge website.
