If you have questions email email me at: jodeewacyk@netzero.net .
For sale is an extremely clean, accident free, low mileage, 1996 Ford F-350 Crew Cab XLT 4X4, with the legendary
7.3 Liter Powersroke Diesel Engine driving through a ZF-5 Speed Manual Transmission. This was a 1 owner truck that
I purchased from the original owner here in New Mexico. As you can see he took amazing of care of it and left the
truck completely stock other than installing a Skyjacker 4 Inch Suspension Lift Kit. All regular and routine
maintenance was always conducted by Ford Motor Company technicians, and the oil was changed every 5,000 miles. The
body of the truck is in immaculate condition, with absolutely no rust or damage anywhere. The paint is also in
great condition as well, with no major scratches or damage anywhere, but does have some very small dings, and
scuffs here and there that you would expect to see on a truck of this age. There is a very small area on the
passenger side of the bed where the clear cote has peeled a little, but over-all the paint is in great condition.
The inside of the bed is in excellent condition with absolutely no dints or damage anywhere, and has an older spray
in bed liner as well. The truck has the stock premium aluminum wheels with brand new 315X75R16 (35 Inch) Cooper STT
Mud Terrain Tires with a full warranty, and new OEM valve stems. The 7.3 Liter Powerstroke Diesel engine runs
great, and is completely stock and un-tampered with, and has never had a chip or programmer installed. A brand new
Diamond Eye 5 Inch turbo back exhaust system was just installed for better fuel economy, and lower exhaust
temperatures helping pro-long the life of the engine. The engine has absolutely no leaks or problems what-so-ever,
and is completely reliable and mechanically sound. I would not hesitate driving this truck anywhere. The engine oil
was just changed over to Royal Purple Full Synthetic 15W-40 and a K&N Oil Filter was installed. The fuel filter,
serpentine belt, and the belt tensioner assembly were also just replaced. I also purchased two rechargeable K&N Air
Cleaners to replace the stock paper filter for better fuel economy. The extra K&N Air Filter is a spare that’s
included with the truck. The drive train and 4X4 on the truck all work flawlessly and as it should. The front
differential is the highly sought after solid axle Dana 60 with premium manual locking hubs , which drives straight
down the road with no slop or play in the steering wheel. The rear differential is the heavy duty Ford Sterling
with the limited slip package. Both the front and rear differentials have a 4:10 gear ratio. The ZF-5 Speed Manual
Transmission feels like new, and shifts tight with no grinding or slop what-so-ever. The glass is all in excellent
shape on the truck other than a small crack in the front windshield caused by a rock on the highway. The interior
is in excellent shape and looks brand new with absolutely no stains, rips, or tears anywhere. The front seats are
bucket seats with the center jump seat/center console, and the rear seat is a bench seat. The dash is in excellent
shape with absolutely no cracks or splits anywhere, and has a brand new carpet dash mat from Dash Design. A new sun
visor/dash shade is also included that was custom made for the truck. The truck still has the stock Ford radio with
the tape cassette that still works great. The truck has power windows, power door locks, tilt wheel, cruise
control, a warm heater, and an ice cold air conditioner. This is a very clean, reliable, extremely hard to find
truck that has never been abused, and has always been adult owned and well maintained. These are the last of the
real diesel trucks made that were built to last. I have a complete binder of receipts for all the parts that were
purchased, as well as all the routine services that were completed on the truck that will be included at the time
of purchase

70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025
Wed, 11 Jun 2014In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.
Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
2015 Mustang-based Saleen S302 to boast as much as 640 hp
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The Ford Mustang is obviously a famous performance vehicle in its own right, but it often works even better as a platform for the aftermarket to upgrade. With the all-new 2015 model just now hitting the scene, the famous tuners at Saleen are getting their improvements for the new pony car ready for the world. After recently teasing it, the specs for its fresh S302 model are officially here, along with a first look at it in profile.
Of course, the biggest question on everyone's mind is how much power the company can get from the Mustang's V8. With the 2015 V8 model rated at 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet, Saleen expects to bump the Ford factory numbers slightly to 450 hp and 410 lb-ft in naturally aspirated form, or with the benefit of a supercharger, it will rocket the engine's output figures to 640 hp and 565 lb-ft. No matter which powerplant a buyer chooses, there are a wide variety of available final-drive ratios with a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
Available as either a coupe or convertible forms, Saleen will offer its S302 in three trim levels - White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label. The White Label is the only naturally aspirated one of the bunch, but it still benefits from upgrades like a new exhaust, limited-slip differential, improved suspension, heat extractor hood and rear wing.
