1995 2wd F250 with a 7.3L Powerstroke
Single Cab, Long Box, with dual tanks. Pretty much bone stock. Spent most of its life as a fleet vehicle. I've put on about the last 35K miles or so.

I replaced the carpet, seat, radio, headliner, and window weather stripping when I got the truck. I put down Frost King insulation over rubberized undercoating to help kill sound in the cab, then laid down new carpet with mass backing from Stockinteriors.com, and it works pretty well. Truck has a DIN style CD/DVD player. It doesn't have the flip up screen, just the small single screen, but the built in GPS does work. My smart phone is quicker, but it does do a decent job.

I replaced the Transmission last january and its got around 10K on it since then. I had paperwork on the job, but can't find it.  I do know when AAMCO rebuilt they also replaced the torque converter and added a shift kit tailored for daily driving and towing.  It drives and shifts very smoothly.


I rebuilt most of the outer front end last spring, to include the driver's side spindle, all new bearings and seals, new hubs, new discs, new brake pads, new calipers, and new lines.  I also replaced the rear hard and soft lines.  The rear brakes are currently not connected.  One of the bleeder zerts snapped off, so the line is capped.  I have included in the sale a new brake cylinder, I just never got around to installing it. 

Just put two new batteries in the truck back in August, the AC pump with a recharge and a new serpentine belt in July, and the vacuum pump back in May.

It has normal wear and tear, a little salt rust,, and plenty of life left in her.


The truck runs great for what it is: a 15 y.o. work truck with a nice radio and almost 300,000 miles. it'll give someone a good work truck, camp truck, wood druck, or first truck for a low price. The rear tires are great, and the front ones are showing wear.  I'll also include three spares on good rims.  The tires are a run-at-your-own-risk type of item, but the rims are good and hold air if someone wanted a summer and winter set.

I'm also including with the truck the Haynes, Chilton, and Diesel tech manuals. They were a valuable resource when I was doing maintenance.


Now for the bad:

The glow plugs don't work.  The truck starts and runs great in the summer, if its plugged in (it has a block heater), or with a shot of stating fluid.  I don't know if its the plugs or the solenoid.  I always kept it plugged in, so I didn't notice it until a particularly late day at work. 

The volt meter does not register.  I can show with a multi-meter that the alternator is charging, but the gauge isn't sweeping.  Not sure why.

The cable selector switch between the dash and the air box is not working, so the air is either all the way to warm, or all the way to cold.  I can show the buyer how I bypassed this issue, but its kind of difficult to explain without hands-on demonstration. 


I would have no issues driving the truck cross country.  It runs well, is comfortable and surprisingly quiet, and got decent mileage for a large vehicle. 


The truck is for sale locally as well, and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for a buyer.  This is a no reserve auction.  If you bid, and are the high bidder, you will own it.  I expect 500 non-refundable deposit via paypal with 24 hours, and the remainder via cash or cashier's check when the buyer picks it up. 

 

Sellers with recent negative, or less than 15 feedback must contact me prior to bidding or risk having their bids cancelled. I will respond to any questions and provide my phone number for any questions asked through ebay.

Ken Block and friends race light in silly-beautiful Castrol commercial

Wed, 28 May 2014

How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.

Top Gear season 25 opens with a V8 roadtrip through America

Mon, Feb 26 2018

Great news for fans of BBC Top Gear: the first episode of season 25 is here. Viewers of BBC America will catch the season opener on March 3, and for the American audience this episode is definitely suitable watching. The episode has been dedicated to V8 sportscars almost in its entirety, as it's been wrapped around a Western roadtrip with a motorsport bias. The three hosts get to choose three V8 sports cars, with the basic idea of finding the best all-rounder. Matt LeBlanc goes for a Hennessey-tuned GT350R, Rory Reid chooses a Jaguar F-Type SVR, and Chris Harris shakes up the pack by selecting a McLaren 570GT. It's a nicely varied trio, with V8 power still showing what it's good for. There are various challenges along the way, just like there should be on a Top Gear roadtrip episode – even if the road surface itself isn't always ideal. But things smoothen out, all the way to a NASCAR oval and an airport runway; the flooded Bonneville salt flats aren't suitable for shenanigans, so substitutes have to be found. The trio also hit dirt roads, and have to evade a buggy-driving Ken Block during a "moonshine run to the border." Fans of Sabine Schmitz will be pleased to find her piloting a chain car racer, which consists of two American junk cars with a Honda CRX chained in the middle. It must make sense to someone. The Star In A Reasonably Priced Car segment has been retained for this season. This time it's the British actor Rob Brydon driving the Toyota GT86, on a very wet lap around the show's Dunsfold Aerodrome track that must be a cult classic by now. All in all, the season 25 opener is exactly what it says on the tin. There's nothing out of the ordinary, but it still has excellent cinematography, V8 roar and some nice landscapes. Classic Top Gear. Cowboy duels, Sabine Schmitz chain car racing, @RobBrydon, a @kblock43 car chase and #TheStig The latest episode of #TopGear is available on @BBCiPlayer now. Outside the UK?

Creations n' Chrome Top Notch Mustang is a one-of-a-kind fox

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Is there a cooler car from the 1980s and early 90s to mod than a Fox-body Ford Mustang? No, there isn't. If you disagree with us, we suggest you have a look at this 1990 Mustang Coupe, which just might change your mind. Although considering just how extensively modified this car - the Top Notch Mustang from Creations n' Chrome - is, we wonder just how much Ford is left in this old pony.
It rides on a custom race tube chassis that weighs a scant 700 pounds, while carbon-fiber bits and bobs help lower the overall curb weight to a mere 2,400 pounds. When paired with supercharged, 5.0-liter, Aluminator V8 from Ford Racing, the results are, doubtlessly, exciting. 855 horsepower at the rear wheels and 667 pound-feet of torque are available from that force-fed V8 should be just plenty for this car's intended purpose of running in standing-mile competitions.
The Top Notch Mustang is more extreme than just weight savings and a big engine, though. That 5.0-liter is essentially in what's known as a front-mid layout - where the engine is actually behind the front axle. In this case, the 5.0-liter V8 is 17 inches further back than a factory Fox-body, for better weight distribution. As a result, the cabin has been completely overhauled. An SLA front suspension, wheels from HRE, Wilwood brakes and Sparco interior items round out the extensive list of mods.
