This is a NO RESERVE auction for a 2008 Ford F350 XLT Super Duty that needs engine work.  Her interior and exterior condition are very good.  She starts right up and idles perfectly.  There are no problems with acceleration if she is in park or neutral.  Please read this carefully.  The problem with the truck is that she will be driving just fine and out of nowhere and usually at the most inopportune moment she starts smoking, running erratically and then dies.  Once she cools down, she starts up fine and drives fine until this happens all over again.  We thought it was an oil problem and installed brand new twin turbos and this did not help.  The previous owner thought it was a problem with the EGR.  He installed EGR coolers, radiator, a bunch of sensors in the exhaust and a new ECU.  This did not solve the problem.  She goes really quickly into regen mode.  There has been a compression test done and it was fine.  There are no knocks in the engine.  There is an exterior oil leak.  Everything seems fine until it warms up and you start driving it.  I am trying to provide as much information as I can.  As a person who buys and sells trucks regularly I get tired of everyone selling a truck for their "friend, relative, etc" and nobody has driven the truck in a year but last time they did she ran good, or so they say:)  This is a great project for a mechanically inclined person and I want you to know what you are dealing with.  If you would like to come and look at her prior to bidding, please call 850-687-8756 and I will be happy to schedule a time.  If you have any questions or want more information, just text or call me.

I am selling her as a No Reserve Auction, because I do not have the time, resources or proper scanning tool to give her any more attention.  She could be a great truck or a great opportunity for a good profit margin.  Serious buyers only please, only bid if you understand her condition and can pay.

Ford issues four recalls covering 163k vehicles

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Recalls! 2014 will be forever remembered as the year that automakers went recall crazy, with millions and millions of vehicles adding up to crush previous recall records well before the end of the year. Adding to that tally is Ford, which announced a call-back for 163,000 vehicles.
Leading that charge are the 2.0-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder engines of the Ford Focus ST and Ford Escape. 160,000 of the 2013 and 2014 models have bad wiring harnesses that can disrupt the signals traveling to the powertrain control module. That, in turn, could lead to a check engine light, reduced power and stalling. Notably, Ford hasn't recalled any other vehicles that feature the 2.0 EcoBoost, such as the Fusion, Taurus or Explorer.
While the Focus ST and Escape constitute the vast majority of recalled vehicles, they aren't the only problem children in the Ford family. 1,300 Transit passenger vans from model year 2015 were recalled due to brake fluid leaks, while another 600 Transit cargo variants were recalled after Ford discovered the windowless sliding doors could come open in the event of a side-impact crash. Dealers will replace the sealing washers on the passenger variants and add a reinforcement plate on the cargo models, The Detroit News reports.

Ford set to target pre-school market with next F-150 variant

Tue, Jun 17 2014

How do you build a strong group of loyalists from the next generation of American drivers? You start em' young. Ford has taken that lesson to heart, as we can see in the first batch of images of the company's new entry to the pre-school market, the Power Wheels F-150. This particular example was caught returning from testing around Ford's base of operations in Dearborn, MI – covered in tiny little bits of camouflage, too. Now, this could very well end up being a collaboration between Power Wheels and Ford. Then again, it could just be some bored engineers that decided to troll the local congregation of spy photographers, who earlier today captured images of the next Focus RS and SVT Mustang. Whatever it is, it's pretty darn cool. Take a look up top for images of the new Power Wheels F-150.
