I will start off by saying this is my personal vehicle and the title is in MY name. I will be honest about everything and feel free to ask me anything! I have encountered a lot of dishonesty and I certainly want you to know what you are buying. This truck overall is in good condition. The paint shines like new. There isn't any chipping, fading or missing clear coat. There is one ding/dent as you could see in one of the pictures. The following have been recently replaced:Upper and lower ball joints, outer tie rod ends, pivot arm bushings, radius arm bushings, all four shocks, bearings, axle seals, pads, shoes, rotors, caliper/brackets, Front rubber brake lines, wheel cylinders, drums, 4 brand new tires in back, alignment, a couple of the leaf spring bushings, air filter, fuel filter, windshield wipers, thermostat and hoses, oil and filter. When I replaced all of these parts I specifically asked for the good parts and not the cheap stuff. Included with the sale will be an entire folder full of receipts. This truck has the Original Alcoa aluminum rims. The front tires are Firestone LT215/85/R15 and have about 7/32nds left. The rear are BRAND NEW Toyo H/T Open Country LT215/85/R16. This truck drives great! On the bottom of this description is two videos. One of them is the infamous blow-by test another is highway driving. These videos were from 3/26/13. This truck is from Tennessee, THE ONLY spot of rust on this truck is in the drivers side back door jam near the striker. Very weird that it rusted there. Seems that it is just surface rust anyway. The underneath and the bottom of the doors are SPOTLESS. Every time I drive this truck in salt I rinse it off in the garage that same night including the undercarriage. If you buy it you will see it is garage kept and I have a floor drain and hose in my garage. The only bad things I could tell you about this truck is the dash pad is cracked. However, this pad piece is EASY to replace. It is not the main dash piece. Any F series truck these years including broncos have this same piece. I have seen the piece on ebay for $40. Maybe a half hour job. Also, there is a noise that seems to be coming from the steering column sometimes when turning or hitting a bump while turning. I'm guessing it is the steering column, everything else is new. I have been told that I am very picky about my cars so this noise might not even bother you? I just want to tell you everything I know. I also just put a brand new Curt tow package on. All of the electric for the 7pin trailer hook up works and it comes with a drawtite electric brake module. The rear bumper and tailgate isn't in the best shape. The tailgate opens and closes very easily. The air conditioning blows ice cold and the heat works excellent. The transmission must have been rebuilt before I purchased this truck because it shifts GREAT. I have older rubber floor mats for the front and brand new weather tech rubber mats for the rear. It does come with a spare tire. The interior is clean, I have it shampooed regularly and I don't smoke. There is no weird smells or anything. The headliner in back is sagging a little. Not really noticeable but its one of the things I look at when I buy a car. This truck doesn't leak anything! It will only smoke blue when it is cold on the first start up. On the coldest day this year when the truck was parked outside at my work it has started without being plugged in. You will NOT be disappointed in this vehicle. Bid with confidence.

Ford moving medium-duty F-Series production from Mexico to Ohio
Thu, 27 Feb 2014
A few more Ford trucks will be built in the US in the near future with news that production of the F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks will move from Mexico to Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, OH. Ford hasn't confirmed a precise timeline for the move, but The Detroit News claims the Blue Oval will make the shift later this year or in early 2015.
As Ford spokesperson Mike Levine reminded us, back in 2011, Ford announced in an investor release that it would shift production "after the [Ohio] plant stops current production of the Ford E-Series vans." According to that release, the Ohio factory will also receive $128 million in upgrades to build the new trucks, plus the F53 motorhome chassis and F59 commercial chassis.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
