Whitmore Lake, Michigan, United States

This is a 1992 Ford F350 with the 7.3L diesel engine with 4X4 and it's a crew cab.  It took me a very long time to find a truck that had all these options prior to me buying it.  When I found the truck it was located in southern TX, I flew down and drove it all the way home.  Here in MI is is very hard to find a truck that isn't eaten away with rust and this one is in really great shape.  I have driven it daily throughout the past 3 years and it has never left me stranded anywhere.  We are moving and I can't get all my stuff to the other side of the country so this has to go, and I'm really bummed by having to sell it.  

Here are the good points to the truck:
  • 3/0 battery cables that were put in about a year ago
  • 2 new batteries that were put in about 2 months ago
  • Electric fuel pump put in a mont ago (Dura Lift about $250 worth of new parts)
  • Transfer case rebuilt in February
  • New carrier bearing 2 months ago
  • Tires are in fair shape
  • Engine has run great
  • Glow plugs are in good shape
  • Installed manual glow plug button
  • Transmission works properly
  • Rear seat and cab is in really good shape
  • Proper coolant has been run in this truck (I use fleet guard)
  • Good block heater
  • Its been very reliable (I am a firefighter and use it to make runs from home)
Here are the bad points of the truck:
  • 284+K miles, the truck still runs great though
  • Power steering hoses leak
  • Tranny coolant lines are leaking (not much but I would replace them the next time I flushed the coolant)
  • The headlights suck (replaced the originals with some cheap clear lens ones and they are not that good)
  • There is a tear in the drivers side seat
  • Glow plug relay (I'm guessing this is the issue) works when it wants
  • There are two clearance lights that the lens are broken on
  • The paint is horrible (the old paints just weren't formulated very well) You can see in the pictures that there isn't much clear coat
  • There is a dent in the hood from what appears that someone tried to shut the hood while the hinge was locked in the open position
  • The front bumper has a dent and is also rusted through on one corner
  • The interior light works sometimes when you open the door but not at other times
  • The door locks don't work for all doors
  • There appears to be some bondo in the drivers door
  • There is rust in the bottom corners of both fenders
  • The mirror switch for auto mirrors is not working (this just started in the past couple weeks)
  • Someone cut a hole in the bed for what I'm guessing was going to be a stack exhaust
  • The dash has many cracks
  • The vent slats are all non functional
  • The door panels all are in need of either being replaced or worked on
  • Drivers side seat belt doesn't fully retract
  • The rear gas tank I have never used because the previous owner told me that it didn't work, and I have never looked into it
  • Dents and scratches
I'm sure I have missed both some good points and some bad points so ask about anything that you might have questions about.  If you're asking yourself why would you be interested in this truck, I will tell you why I bought it and why I hate seeing it go.  I think this is one of the best F body trucks of all time.  I needed an option to haul my wife and four kids in the winter and this truck could hold everyone and being 4X4 it could make it through the snow.  The 7.3 naturally aspired is slow but it just keeps going.  This truck has been rock solid for me, I don't know if anyone had done any work to the engine prior to me owning it but seems like it has many miles left in it.  All the guys at the fire department love this truck and many of them want to buy it but they are firefighters and don't have any money.  There is very little to be done to keep this truck functional.  The body and interior could use some work but it hasn't bothered me.  I feel safe in this truck.
Due to the age of the truck I can't promise you that it will run forever or offer any type of warranty.  Because I am moving across the country the truck will need to be picked up no later than May 3rd unless we have worked out some type of arrangement prior to the end of the auction. The hitch isn't included in the auction but there is a diamond plate tool box that does go with the truck.

Ford E-Series chassis cabs and cutaways to survive mass Transit onslaught

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

In March 2013, Ford announced we'd be getting chassis cab and cutaway versions of the Transit. Since incoming Transit vans will soon be rolling over the grave of the E-Series van, it was assumed that all E-Series models would go six feet under as well. According to a report from PickupTrucks.com, however, that's not the case, the report claiming that the highly modifiable E-350 and E-450 chassis cab and cutaway versions will continue being produced in Avon Lake, Ohio "at least until 2020."
Being decades old, the be-cabbed E-Series platform has found its way under an army of heavy-duty shuttle buses, work truck and ambulances. Ford spokeswoman Jessica Enoch verified the production horizon, telling Autoblog that the particular E-Series configuration "are a higher GVWR than the Transit chassis cab and cutaway (available this summer), which is more Class 2 and a new segment for us." So there you have it.

2015 Ford F-150 gets Power Wheels treatment [w/video]

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

With the introduction of its forthcoming 2015 F-150, Ford is breaking with convention by shifting from steel-intensive construction to aluminum. But what if it weren't made of metal altogether? What if it were made of plastic instead, and packed an electric motor instead of an internal-combustion engine?
Feast your eyes, boys and girls, on the new Power Wheels F-150. Built by Fisher-Price and licensed by Ford, the third-generation ride-on toy started development nine months before the full-size version debuted at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, and is hitting sidewalks and driveways across the country this September.
The Power Wheels F-150 carries a sticker price of $349.99, and there's a special version at Toys R Us with LED headlamps (just like the real F-150) for an extra $10.

2015 Ford F-150 [w/videos]

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

To learn more about the all-new 2015 F-150 and get an early read on its potential hero-or-zero status, we flew to the heart of full-size pickup truck country, San Antonio, TX, to spend a day driving, towing and playing in the mud with an assortment of Ford's innovative new trucks.
First, a caveat - while we feel we have a reasonably good handle on the new F-150 after attending this first-drive event, we are far from ready to pass definitive judgment on the success of this radically new rig. Our time in the various models was lamentably limited and we felt rushed. With so much at stake and with so much to talk about and experience, we had zero alone time with the vehicle - there were Ford folks shadowing us at every moment.
And we still don't know everything there is to know about the trucks, as Ford is withholding some of its most crucial numbers, including curb weight data and anticipated EPA fuel economy figures. We don't even have a firm on-sale date. All of this information is typically disclosed - or at least officially estimated - at the time of a new vehicle's first drive. This limits the scope of the judgments we feel comfortable making based on our first encounter.
