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.
On Jun-30-13 at 11:52:32 PDT, seller added the following information:*This truck is also for sale locally, so the auction could end early.

Ford To Unveil Solar Hybrid Concept Car At CES
Thu, Jan 2 2014Ford plans to unveil at this month's International CES gadget show a solar-powered concept car that offers the same performance as a plug-in hybrid but without the need for a plug. The C-Max Solar Energi Concept car uses a gasoline engine combined with a gizmo that acts like a magnifying glass to concentrate the sun's rays on the vehicle's roof-mounted solar panels. The automaker says the vehicle's estimated combined city-highway mileage is 100 miles (160 kilometers) per gallon. The U.S. auto maker says that by using solar power instead of an electric plug, a typical owner will reduce their annual greenhouse gas emissions by four metric tons. The company says it sold about 85,000 hybrid or electric vehicles in 2013, including 6,300 units of its C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid. The sun-ray concentrator was developed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and uses what is known as a Fresnel lens, which concentrates light but can be made thinner than a conventional lens. A full day of sunshine is equivalent to a four-hour battery charge, or 8 kilowatts, Ford says. On a full charge, it should have a range of 620 miles (997 kilometers), the same as the C-Max Energi. The concept car also comes with a plug-in port for standard electric charging. Ford says that 75 percent of all trips made by an average driver could be powered by the sun. After showing off the concept car at the convention in Las Vegas Jan. 7-10, Ford Motor Co. says that it will test the vehicle with institute researchers to determine if it's feasible for mass production.

Expert: 54.5 mpg CAFE standard can be reached without many plug-ins
Sat, Jan 18 2014Johnson Controls executive Brian Kesseler isn't likely to get any holiday presents this year from Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn or Tesla Motors head Elon Musk, but lots of other folks might be happy with what he has to say about automakers' efforts to reach stricter fleetwide fuel-economy standards. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress, Kesseler said automakers wouldn't need to sell an extensive number of plug-in vehicles in order to meet the 54.5 mile per gallon Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard the US government set in 2012 for 2025 model-year vehicles. In fact, he said, components such as stop-start engine technology, turbochargers and direct injection may actually do the trick. Already, things like smaller engine sizes and lighter cars are already playing major roles in spurring fuel-efficiency gains. Of course, Johnson Controls sells batteries specially built for stop-start systems, so Kesseler does have a bit of skin in this game. The 54.5-mpg CAFE standard equates to about a 40-mpg "real world" fuel-efficiency level. To put that into perspective, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in a report late last year that model-year 2013 average fuel economy was an even 24 mpg. That was up from 23.6 mpg for the 2012 model year and 22.4 mpg for 2011.
