2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty King Ranch Crew Cab Pickup 4-door 6.0l on 2040-cars

Year:2004 Mileage:110024
Location:

Navarre, Florida, United States

Navarre, Florida, United States

Let's start off with the story first. I bought this truck in May, 2014 mainly to see if I would like a diesel truck. I pull lots of stuff, car trailer and cars mostly, and wanted to see if this better fit my needs and it did. I knew the truck had been hit in the drivers side door area and had been repaired and inspected on 12/30/05. There was no frame damage and it required a door and rocker panel to repair. Good job as best I can tell.
All was well and good until we moved to Florida. It seems since it had a salvage title when it left Georgia and now a clean repaired title from MS, I can't get it titled and tagged. Georgia won't change the branding (no surprise there), MS won't go back and add salvage to the title and Florida won't add salvage to the title.
All I can say if you live in MS, then you've got no problems, any other state please do your research and check with DMV. Please spend the time to look at CARFAX, it will give you an accurate history. Frankly, I'm tired of jumping through hoops with no results, so it's for sale.

Now for the truck. Low mileage 110,024, all fluids and filters changed at Ford dealer, 5/28/14. Mileage was 107,356.  At that time I was advised I needed a sensor in the water separator. It shows water all the time. They wanted nearly $250.00 to do it. I was going to do it once the fall temps arrived. So that job remains to be done.

Overall nice truck. It's always had nice floor mats in it so carpets are good. Leather seats could use a good cleaning. There no rips or tears in the seats or carpets. All power items work as they should. This includes, brakes, steering, windows, seats, mirrors, etc. There is a trailer brake controller. There's also a satellite ready radio/cd. All windows have moderate tint and there is a sliding back glass. All glass is good.

Truck has small lift with 35" tires. Wheels have spacers. If you turn the wheel all the way to lock, the tires rub the springs. There are manual locking hubs on front. There are 2" receiver hitches on front ant rear. Makes parking trailers and such in tight quarters a lot easier. There are also back up sensors.

Engine is 6.0 Turbo Diesel that's had all the upgrades done to it to make it reliable, head bolts and coolers to name a few. Automatic tranny is flawless and works great in conjunction with cruise control. Tires are good. I would stay 80%+ tread. 

As for the exterior. It's nice, not perfect by any stretch but good. There are some scratches and chips consistent with this age truck. The tailgate has a peppering of dents where a chain broke and slammed into it. Works good and is useable as is but dents are there. Truck has lighted running boards and cab lights. Truck is rust free and functions as it should.

That's about it. If you want any additional pictures let me know and I'll post them. If you have any questions please ask before bidding. $1000 deposit by Paypal within 24 hours of auction end. NO EXCEPTIONS!! Remaining due within 7 days. AGAIN, NO EXCEPTIONS!! Truck can remain for up to 30 days, but must be payed for regardless. If you have less than 10 feedback or any negative feedback, do not bid, I will cancel your bid.

Thanks

Wanted to add a couple of things. There are two gauges mounted on the drivers side door post. One is a boost gauge and works. The other is an exhaust gas temp gauge. It doesn't work because the bung has never been welded into the exhaust. It's in the truck box. The second item is a small crack in the grille that is pictured but I forgot to mention it.

Also forgot to mention comes with a SCTFLASH programmer. It has three programs; economy, towing and performance. I keep it on towing because that fits for me. I've included a picture.

Several have asked if this has always been a southern truck. Answer is yes and carfax will verify this. It left GA in 2005 and spent the rest of its time in the Smithville, Amory, and Columbus, MS areas. I've added pictures of the underside.

Also the exhaust is a Borla system. Was on it when I got it.

Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief

Thu, 29 May 2014

The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.

Ford Escort testing, may be bound for Europe

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.

Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.
