 1996 Ford F350 XLT Crew Cab long box 4x4, 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel with a five speed manual O/D transmission , WARN manual lockout hubs, limited slip rear diff., I believe the axle ratio to be a 4:10.

I bought this truck about a year ago, as a project, it had a bad motor (someone eithered it) and had sat for a while (owner undecided on selling or fixing). I purchased a long block, had the heads rebuilt and the block tanked, checked, and honed by Lawrence  Machine Shop. Engine was reassembled with new cam bearings, rod bearings, main bearings, rings, oil pump, water pump, glow plugs, glow plug relay, cam sensor, several other new sensors, a reman. HPOP pump, HPOP regulator, and reman. injectors. New valve cover gaskets w/new wiring connectors, new thermostat, serpentine belt, pulleys and tensioner, new boots for intake manifold pipes, updated cold air intake. 3" down pipe and 4" exhaust all the way back, new shifter boot, and two new batteries.

Body and paint in really good condition, no major dents or scratches, has been cleaned, buffed, and waxed. One small area on drivers door has blistering (picture 7), the pickup bed is typical dinged, dented, and scratched but not rusty (could use a bed liner or line-x).  Interior is in good condition, normal wear on drivers seat (small tear picture13), one small puncture/hole on rear seat (picture 20), head liner and door panels in good condition.  SONY AM/FM CD player. NEW CARPET. Really nice (Eagle?)Alloy wheels with 33-12.50x16 Hercules Terra Trac tires, plenty of tread left.

Tow hitch, brake controller, and NEW CURT goose neck hitch with turnover ball.

I have tried to remember all that was done to this truck and show as much as I could with photos, but I probably forgot something. It is a really nice truck and looks, runs, sounds good and turns a lot of heads. I have put about a hundred and fifty miles on it since completed. I never intended to keep this project truck and I feel it is ready to sell before I start liking it to much. It could use step bars and a bed liner but I will leave those touches to the new owner. If you have questions or need other photos I will try to respond, can be seen or driven locally, and will be for offered for sale locally also, so may end early.

I have plenty of receipts and a clear title in hand. Contact : rkolosik@hotmail.com

As with any seventeen year old vehicle there is no warranty intended or implied.

Shipping and transportation is buyers responsibility.

AS I DO NOT WISH TO MISREPRESENT THIS TRUCK, I WAS ASKED WHAT THE CONDITION OF THE REAR WHEEL WELLS WAS. THEY APPEARED REALLY NICE BUT I HAD NEVER REMOVED THE FENDER FLAIRS. I REMOVED THEM THIS MORNING AND THE FINDINGS WERE DISAPPOINTING. THERE IS RUST. I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE, PLEASE ADJUST YOUR BIDDING ACCORDINGLY. CONTACT ME IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, PROBLEMS, OR PICTURES YOU WISH TO SEE. I HAVE EMAILED THE PERSON THAT ASKED THE QUESTION AND INFORMED THEM OF THE RUST ISSUE.

Ford finds flex-fuel engine design plays big role in emissions output

Mon, Jan 6 2014

How bad is ethanol for your engine? There's been a lot of debate on this issue as the US considers upping the biofuel content in the national gasoline supply from 10 percent (E10) to 15 percent (E15). The ethanol industry and some scientists say higher ethanol blends show no "meaningful differences" in new engines while the oil industry says ethanol creates health risks. Researchers working at the Ford Research and Innovation Center decided to take a closer look at how a wide range of gas-ethanol blends - E0, E10, E20, E30, E40, E55 and E80 - affected the emissions coming out of a flex-fuel 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. To see the full report, printed in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, requires payment, but there is an abstract and Green Car Congress has some more details. The gist is that, "with increasing ethanol content in the fuel, the tailpipe emissions of ethanol, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, methane, and ammonia increased." At least NOx and NMHC emissions decreased. The researchers say that the effects are due to the fuel and "are expected for all FFVs," but that the way that a manufacturer calibrates the engine will affect NOx, THC, and NMOG emissions. It's this last bit that's important, since the researchers found, "Higher ethanol content in gasoline affects several fundamental fuel properties that can impact emissions. ... These changes can have positive or negative effects that can depend on engine design, hardware, and control strategy. In addition to direct emissions impacts, higher ethanol content fuel can also provide more efficient combustion and overall engine operation under part-load conditions and under knock-limited higher-load conditions." So, as we head towards more ethanol in our fuel supply (maybe), manufacturers are going to need to learn how to burn it most efficiently.

J Mays on the 2015 Ford Mustang

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

J Mays, head of design at Ford, may be retiring from the company after 16 years, but not before showing the world his swan song: the 2015 Mustang. Ford officially revealed its new coupe and convertible to the public at events around the world on Thursday, including a live unveiling on ABC's Good Morning America, and Mays was in attendance at the automaker's home event in Dearborn, MI, which is where we caught up with him for a few words about his new baby.
"It's a joy" to design the Mustang, Mays told Autoblog, adding that this sixth-generation coupe is his "favorite design so far." Of course, the 2015 model takes cues from all of the generations that came before it, but Mays said it was important to edit down the specific elements from previous models, leaving just enough off to let the customer "participate and fill in the blanks."
"If it doesn't sell itself, you probably aren't a Mustang fan."

Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024

Mon, Jan 22 2024

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic Cars” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor.  $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60.  $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.
