1997 Ford F-350, 4x4, Crew Cab, 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel, Auto Transmission. Great solid truck. Truck is a beast!
In 2008 I inherited a minivan. In 2010 it was obvious when we had a kid that we needed a 4x4 for our gravel, long, hilly, north facing, last driveway to melt in the county. Before kid we could always walk out of the snow. I was looking for a smaller half ton truck but someone wanted a minivan and he had this truck. The rest is history. Now we have two kids and face the reality the truck is too big for my wife and more then we need. Truck has not been stopped in the snow. Truck is almost entirely unmolested and stock. It has Superwinch manual hubs. Very good mechanically with following exceptions: AC is not cold (new problem have not researched problem possible freon), power windows are inconsistent, cruise control will cut off, driver's seat is torn. The truck had a front right quarter panel repaired due to accident. Back corner of bed has dent. Truck was well maintained before I purchased. The auto tranny was rebuilt and installed by Ford dealer in Woodstock, VA. Paperwork regarding specs for the tranny rebuild is incomplete. Just before I purchased it also received a new fuel filter and air filter. Mechanical since I bought the truck: Regular oil changes (Shell Rotella 15W-40) not listed in this list June 2010 179,617 flush rad pulled turbo apart and reseal repack front wheel bearings new front pads, rotors, hardware, front hub seals, caliper slides, and repacked bearings July 2010 179,966 New brake line along rail and brake fluid flush July 2010 front end alignment July 2011 183,567 Four new Dunlop tires stock size and alignment August 2012 187,976 new fuel filter flush radiator November 2012 188,538 new intermediate steering shaft November 2012 188,662 two new batteries July 2013 190,484 fuel filter IPR valve December 2013 192,584 Crank position sensor March 2014 193,546 fuel filter restriction switch neutral safety switch It will need an oil change soon and the AC needs attention (please see note above) This truck and generation of truck will go down as one of the top five or top three trucks ever produced by Ford. This generation Ford truck is up there with the 1956 Ford pickup and the 1970s Ford Highboys for legendary Ford trucks. The 1997 is the last year with this body style, has the legendary 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel, and is a crew cab. The F-250 and F-350 kept the existing body style for 1997. The F-150 had a major body style change in 1997. The F-250 and F-350 changed in 1998. Disclaimers - You are welcome and encouraged to see the truck in person. Cash or bank check only. No personal checks or pay pal. Truck is for sale locally and ebay auction might end. $500.00 deposit is required within three days. Truck has to be paid in full within seven days of sale. Short term storage is offered if truck is paid for in full. Please email me with any questions. We are going to miss this truck! Our two boys (age two and five) love it. Our oldest calls it Freight Train Buggy after the bluegrass song Freight Train Boogy. He loves trains and since it has a diesel engine like trains he loves it! It is obvious it is more truck then we need a half ton will do for us. I have owned numerous trucks and vans and this is without a doubt the strongest! Thanks for looking at the auction! |

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.
Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.
Ford picks Fiesta ST, Transit Connect as this year's SEMA darlings
Sat, 02 Feb 2013SEMA is more than nine months away, but the reveille bugle for the show has just sounded with Ford's call to aftermarket companies for its project-vehicle program. The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST and 2014 Transit Connect van and wagon are the cars The Blue Oval wants to feature, but applicants can submit project vehicles for any product except the GT500, the Raptor, or anything from Lincoln.
Submissions must be completed in two parts, the first being an email to Ford with an overview of the project, like vehicle theme, promotional plan and location display. The second part must be mailed in on company letterhead and gets down to the nuts and bolts of the vision and the provision of company bona fides. The complete proposal is due on March 1, winners will be notified by May 1. Click the link below to get all the details, and for show attendees, get ready to see some funky Fiestas and wild shaggin' wagons in Las Vegas come November.
