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

Enterprise customer billed $47k for Mustang stolen from rental lot
Sun, 05 Jan 2014A weekend rental of a Ford Mustang GT Convertible sounds like a nice, relaxing way to burn some gas, but one Nova Scotia woman's two-day rental is turning into a months-long headache. In early October, Kristen Cockerill picked up the Mustang from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and she returned it the following day as stipulated by the rental contract. Unfortunately, she dropped the car off on a Sunday - a day on which the particular Enterprise office is closed - and the car ended up being stolen overnight.
Now, two months later, CBC reports that Cockerill received a bill from Enterprise for the full replacement of the car totaling $47,271 (a base 2014 Mustang GT Convertible currently costs $40,349 in Canada). As it turns out, the fine print in the contract says that the renter is responsible for cars dropped off after hours until it can be inspected the next business day - this is also reflected on the key drop seen in the news report video, which states "vehicles returned after hours are the responsibility of the renter until inspected on the next business day."
It's not clear how much, if any, of that amount Cockerhill will be responsible for once her insurance company gets involved, but if the insurance company refuses to pay, Enterprise will bill the amount to the credit card she provided during her rental. While this ordeal is far over for Cockerhill, it's a good reminder for the rest of us to always read the fine print.
Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
