I sold my business so I no longer need the truck.  We used it for moving Vending Machines.  The lift is great for moving motorcycles and atvs. The perfect toyhauler for a dunes crew.


I just used the truck to move from Iowa to Southern CA (the truck is back in Iowa).  The truck ran great and pulled the loaded 18' trailer effortlessly.  It turned over 200k on the 4500 mile trip. I did not have to add any oil.  The trani and engine temps did fine even pulling the load up the mountains.  It runs good.  The 4wd works good, just used it this week in the snow.  The tires have decent life left on them.

It is equipped with an HydroPak.  This unit is approved by California for use.  It produces hydrogen gas which is mixed with the air intake.  It burns the fuel cleaner which keeps the oil cleaner and the engine running longer.  You just add water to the HydroPak. It removes the hydrogen from the water.  

The lift is manufactured by Xtra Lift. I had it customized with more tie-down points.  The lift can handle around 1200 lbs.  I just replaced the hydraulic pump motor, it has hardly been used since.  The lift bed is 4' wide, length is about 7' +/- with the gate closed.

I bought the truck used with around 150k miles on it.  The engine had been replaced with the newer-style good 6.0L.  I have not had any problem with the engine. The water cooler for the EGR valve failed. I had a by-pass kit installed.  You will not have to worry about that failing again.  I just replaced the alternator last week while in CA.  

The problems.  
The back up lights like to randomly work when you are driving down the road.  It seems to be a short in the ground wire to the relay. It is worse when it rains or on rough roads.  On this last 4500 mile trip they came on a couple times and went right back off.  You can hear the relay click when it happens. 

It has quarter sized rock ding in the windshield. It has been glued to keep from spreading.  It was that way when I bought it 3 years ago.  It has not spread. (See the last two pictures)

There is some rust starting to show. The fenders have some scrapes and dings.  The drivers side rear door was damaged at the bottom before I bought it. I'm not sure what happened.

It does have a gooseneck recessed ball in the bed below the lift. I cut the gooseneck/fifth wheel electrical connection. It was a home splice job that was causing problems.  The wire and plug are still there if you want to re-splice it.

The drivers seat is worn from getting in and out of the truck.

The power sunroof  and the information center (compass, temp, mpg, etc) do not work.  The controls for the sun roof and the information center are both located above the rearview mirror.  Seems that the problem is probably related.

Contact me for more pictures or details 319-461-2927

I may be willing to deliver the truck. Especially if it some where between Iowa and Southern California.  I would just ask you to cover the fuel cost.  Please make arrangements with me about this before buying, if you don't, please understand that I may need to charge more than fuel cost for delivery or I may not be able to do it at all.

Ford increasing Super Duty production by 15 percent

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

Ford has announced a hefty $80 million investment in its Kentucky Truck Plant, which is responsible for building the F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 versions of the Super Duty pickup. The influx of cash will add 350 jobs to the factory.
The investment is also good for a 15-percent increase in annual production thanks to retooling and other facility upgrades, which equates to an extra 55,000 units of production. Considering that Ford makes even more money off its Super Duty than it does on the hot-selling F-150, this could mean some serious coin to Ford's bottom line.
Hop below for the full press release from Ford on its latest investment.

Ford of Europe celebrates Mondeo's 20th anniversary

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.

Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.
