For sale is my Ford E350 Diesel that I use as my motocross carrier vehicle. It has the 7.3 liter IDI Diesel which means there is no computer to complicate the engine. I have only 95k miles on it. We are downsizing everything in my house due to the number of children increasing. It's perfect for carrying a couple dirtbikes and has lots of storage. About 17 miles per gallon on the highway. I only get about 15mpg if I stay around town. You can plug in to "shore power" and there are electrical outlets. There is also a suction unit that works great. And the engine has a block heater but I've never used it since I don't go anywhere if the temp is below 30F. It's a very cool vehicle and quite the conversation piece wherever I go. Good for napping too unless you are taller than 6'3". It has the typical light surface rust underneath from salt spray but nothing bad at all. Everything works as it should. It drives down the highway nicely at 65mph. The longest trip I've taken it on is about 500 miles and it was comfortable all the way. Here's a video of me heading out to one of the motocross trails last December. It's always run great and nice to have a place for everything locked inside!

I have a clear title in my name. Look at the pictures and if you are interested come by my house to check it out. I just noticed the carfax miles. I don't think it's possible to put 165,000 miles on in less than a year. I drove it around for quite a while before I registered it (maybe longer than the temporary tag allows) and I don't think there's any way it has more than the mileage on the odometer. Thanks!

The big dune jump and the damage done

Mon, 20 May 2013

The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.

NHTSA investigating 250k F-150s for possible power brake failure

Fri, Jun 26 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into the 2011-2012 Ford F-150 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 because of potential failure of the power braking assist. If a recall is required, it could affect an estimated 250,000 of the trucks. This investigation is prompted by NHTSA receiving 32 complaints about the electric vacuum assist pump allegedly failing in these trucks, which then causes the power braking assist to stop working. Drivers claim having no warning beforehand. There are also two reports of crashes that are purportedly linked to the problem, but the government agency lists no injuries. According to NHTSA, the issue may be getting worse because 60 percent of these allegations are from the past nine months. A preliminary evaluation doesn't necessarily lead to a recall, though. NHTSA uses them "to assess the cause, scope and frequency of the alleged defect." Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker tells Autoblog: "We will cooperate with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do."

None of the complaints reported any warning indicators to alert the driver of brake power assist loss or the potential of increased stopping distance. Two reports alleged crashes due to increased brake pedal effort required to stop or slow the vehicle. The complaints show an apparent increasing trend, with approximately 60 percent of complaints received within the past nine months. A Preliminary Evaluation has been opened to assess the cause, scope and frequency of the alleged defect.
