7.3l Diesel Crewcab With Fontaine Body Classic Cruiser Package on 2040-cars
Warren, Michigan, United States
|
Condition: In good condition for it's age, ready to go anywhere, well maintained, within the past year new brakes, new front tires, and new batteries.
Features: Fonataine body with 70+ gallon dual tank with automatic leveling pump, CB radio, brake controller, 5th wheel, boxes in the bed for spare tire and storage, bumper hitch, rear air bags with automatic pump. These trucks were built to tow. History: I believe I am the 3rd owner. Originally a Canadian truck (hence the kilometers). Used to tow race cars for the for most of it's life. It hasn't seen snow/salt. Frame and body are in excellent condition. I've had it for the past 2-3 years and continued to use it just to tow my race car. I've maintained it to be a reliable tow vehicle. The only reason I'm selling is I'm downsizing to a single rear wheel truck so I do not have to run commercial plates in my home state (MA requires commercial plates for dually trucks). The 7.3L diesel is known to be reliable. This is the engine that put the super duties on the map. They do not blow out injectors or destroy turbos like the 6.0L engines on. It should be good for several more hundred of thousands of miles if maintained. The transmission has been replaced by the prior owner. I do not know how many miles are on this one. I rebuilt the differential and it should be good. There are some wear and noise from the bearings, but not enough that I replaced them. The transmission functions without issues. Any other things that have come up have been fixed and maintained. If you have any questions please ask. These trucks where $70K when new. You would be hard pressed to find a truck that can tow this amount without spending a lot more. If you do not need to tow anything, buy a different truck. Shipping and Payment: ****NOTE**** I live in MA, but the rig and race car are stored in MI. The truck is currently located in Warren, MI and that will be the site for pick up or the origin site for shipping. Cash in person pick up or cleared cashiers check. If you cannot pick up the vehicle in person it is up to you to arrange, and pay for shipping. The truck will not be released until funds are transferred and secured. To aide in shipping the truck can be at a place of business to make pick up easier. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla considers Model III SUV and wagon, Ford tears Tesla apart
Mon, Oct 27 2014Worries over Brazil's electric grid mean EVs are excluded from green car incentives. As part of a new efficiency program, non-plug-in hybrids will be eligible for a reduction in import duties, while EVs and plug-in hybrids will not. Brazil's government is concerned that the country's grid lacks the capacity to handle the increased load from an influx of EVs. Brazil plans to create a new incentive program - perhaps a more inclusive one - when the current one expires at the end of 2015. Read more at Green Car Reports. Tesla could make SUV and wagon derivatives of the upcoming Model III sedan. Tesla's VP of engineering, Chris Porritt, told Auto Express that to reach as many customers as possible, Tesla would consider all its options. "SUVs, estates - who knows?" says Porritt. He also says that while the company is currently focused on products with a broader appeal, another Roadster or other sports car aren't out of the question in the future. Read more at Auto Express. Ford admits to a Tesla Model S teardown. Ford CEO Mark Fields says that after disassembling, reassembling and driving the model S, his company is "very familiar with that product." He also says the Ford has the capability to build a similarly high-tech, long-range electric car. The questions still remains if Ford has plans for such a vehicle, but Fields says that it fits within Ford's "product philosophy." Read more at Business Insider and at USA Today.
2014 Ford Transit unveiled in Chassis Cab and Cutaway versions
Fri, 08 Mar 2013As a leader in commercial vehicles here in the US, we knew Ford wouldn't take too long to show off the chassis cab and cutaway versions of its 2014 Ford Transit van. Set to go on sale this fall, Ford already revealed the full-body version of the Transit, and now it has pulled the cover off exposed-frame models just in time to to compete against the all-new Ram Promaster.
The term "chassis cab" refers to models with a fully enclosed cabin used for box vans or rental trucks, while cutaway models leave the cabin open behind the B-pillars for a pass-through on vehicles such as Class C motorhomes or ambulances. Both will offer three wheelbase options (138, 156 and 178 inches), the choice of single or dually rear axles, and plenty of upfitter-friendly touches including a pre-wired body harness and multiple body mount locations.
The new design will also help make upfitting a little easier since the fuel filler is now built into the cab (just behind the driver's door). Those integrated fuel filler necks will serve to feed either a 3.7-liter V6, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, or a 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel. Transit chassis cab and cutaways will wear varying Gross vehicle weight ratings from 9,000 pounds to 10,360 pounds depending on spec.
White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes
Fri, 07 Dec 2012At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
