This dump truck was a D.O.T. vehicle, so it was very well maintained mechanically.  It has the dependable 7.3L powerstroke diesel with only 104,000 miles, 5speed manual transmission, and it runs and drives great.  It was just inspected and is good until 9/2014.  It has 2 fuel tanks.  A brand new metal side tank, and a plastic rear tank.  It is very basic as far as options.  It is not equipped with A/C or cruise control, and has just an am/fm radio.  Heat works great.  It has heated side view mirrors and self leveling beacon lights on top.  It also has a engine coolant block heater.  It also has a 7 pin trailer plug and receiver.

This auction does include the Boss 8'2" Power V plow.  As you can see it was barely used.  I checked with a local Boss dealer and they are going for $4900 new with all necessary component and wiring, but doesn't include installation.  It also comes with the Monroe stainless steel salt spreader.  It is also in very good condition.  The auger is not stainless, so it has a fair amount of rust scaling, but it made of very thick heavy metal and has plenty of life on it yet.  I also called the manufacturer in Wisconsin and these are going for $4000 new, not including installation.  The dump and spreader are fully hydraulic with a hydraulic pump run by the accessory drive belt on engine, which is engaged by a switch in the cab

Everything works as it should.  Engine, clutch, transmission, and drive train all work great.  The only mechanical issue is the speedometer starts to bounce around +/- 5 mph, once it gets over 40 mph.

Physically, the pictures should give a good idea of the condition.  Overall it is in very good condition for an older work truck.  The dump bed is in remarkable condition.  Unless you just started looking, dump beds in this condition are hard to find.  Most rust is just surface rust.  It gets heavier near the back where the spreader is.  There are 4 pictures showing the only areas that are more than surface rust.  1 - There was a small spot rusted through on the driver's side floor, which was filled in with body filler for inspection.  2 - There is a hole through on the lower passenger side door. 3 - There is a small hole in the rear cross member in front of the rear fuel tank. 4- There is some rot on each side of the rearmost crossmember behind the rear fuel tank.  The bottom lip of the front bumper also has some rot on it. The interior is in good condition.  The little bit of rust is from an interior leak that was not repaired right away.  It does not leak now. 

I may have gone overboard on pictures and description, but I want anyone interested to bid with confidence.  I can assure you there will be no surprises, and you will not be disappointed when picked up if purchased.  If you have been looking for a 1 ton dump truck you will know that manual transmissions seem hard to come by, especially a 4x4 with the 7.3L diesel. So if you have just started looking and these are things important to you, don't sit back and watch, because you won't find this set up again soon.

Item is being sold as and is available for pickup only.  No shipping!  Since for some reason paypal is not available for auto sales, cash or cashiers check would be accepted.  Although I require we at least verify, if not deposit the payment at my at my local bank after you are pleased with final inspection, but  before the title is transferred. 

If this does not go as a package I will most likely keep the truck and sell the plow and salt spreader separately.  Get me your contact information before the end of the auction if you might be interested in those separately.   Please feel free to contact me with any questions or if you would like more pictures.  Thanks for looking and happy bidding!

New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.

2014 Ford C-Max Energi plug-in hybrids get deep, deep discount

Thu, Feb 26 2015

Math-phobes may not appreciate all the price discounts available for potential buyers of the Ford C-Max Energi Plug-in Hybrid. For everyone else, though, break out the calculators and celebrate. Because the plug-ins, or at least the 2014 model-year versions, can be had for as much as a third off. How? Start with $4,000 bonus cash from Ford (double what it used to be) and add another $1,750 in dealer discounts, according to Cars Direct. Additionally, the feds will provide a $4,000 tax incentive, while shoppers in the great state of California might get another $1,500 in clean-vehicle rebates. Add them all up – oh, and another $1,000 thrown in by some dealers – and the MSRP of just under $34,000 gets brought down to less than $22,000 out of pocket. It makes that recent $900 price cut for the model seem pretty minor by comparison, doesn't it. Ford is looking to unload a bunch of 2014 model-year C-Max Energi models after sales, which started strong last year, tapered off in recent months. While Americans boosted C-Max Energi purchases by 18 percent last year to 8,433 units, that year-over-year sales gain had been 58 percent through last June. Meanwhile, January sales were down 16 percent to just 395 units.

Spy shooter claims proof of upcoming aluminum Ford F-Series Super Duty

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford has already confirmed that the 2015 F-150 (pictured above) was just the beginning for its more extensive use of aluminum. CEO Alan Mulally said it himself during the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. We've even already seen the future Raptor testing with an aluminum body. But a recent discovery from an intrepid spy photographer might indicate that the lightweight metal is coming to the Blue Oval's Super Duty pickups in their upcoming generation, as well.
According to Automotive News, a spy shooter in Colorado spotted a prototype for the next-gen F-350 testing. He happened to have a magnet on hand and got close enough to check the truck out. When he held it up to the metal in the bed, it didn't stick, which signaled to him a switch from steel to aluminum.
Obviously, this claim raises some questions. Given that it was a test vehicle, one possibility is that the Blue Oval is just evaluating the feasibility of switching to aluminum for the Super Duty trucks, not necessarily committed to it yet. Ford has been testing it quite exhaustively, after all. In fact, much of the rest of the truck in question was covered in camouflage, so it's possible that the magnet failed to work along the rest of the body not because it was aluminum, but because it wasn't powerful enough to get through the disguising material. Thus, the lightweight metal's use could be far less substantial than on the new F-150. Still, it was a clever idea for the cameraman to check things out and might have given us the first hint about brand's next heavy-duty models.
