It has a few dents and the bed wall needs to be bent inward 1 inch because a loader hit it from the inside and now it doesnt meet with the tailgate latch on the right side. it is correctable if you put a board of wood along the outside and push on it with a bobcat or front loader of some sort. i dont have one... it starts and smokes blue a bit for about 3-8 minutes until it warms up, then it doesnt really smoke much at all after that. the engine would need to eventually be rebuilt but it has miles left in it. im selling it because i dont use it, i dont do that kind of work anymore. it is reliable, it has all new glow plugs. the transmission was recently rebuilt with an oversize clutch package. all new brake components! newish back tires. new fuel Lift Pump. dual tanks both work. for the price its a great truck. its what you would expect for an inexpensive used work truck. it is exempt from NJ inspection. vehicle is located in 08759 manchester NJ. it came from GA so its mostly rust free. i used to live in GA and i drove it up 1 year ago, 800 miles no problems. both tanks have a good amount of diesel in them, the truck does not come with any of the items seen in the bed.
On Aug-17-13 at 00:59:57 PDT, seller added the following information:one more note, the brake abs module is bad, so i unplugged it, i dont like abs personally anyways, and the brakes work great. if you plug in the abs module it keeps the rear brakes locked after a few stops. with it unplugged the abs light is on, on this truck the abs module just dumps the rear brakes if it detects lockup, a horrible design if you ask me... anyways i just want to be up front about everything that i know of about the truck. if you dont drive it for a few days to a week the brakes become very sensitive for the first few stops, after that there normal. this doesnt bother me and i dont consider it a real issue, again just letting you know all the details.

Ford talking unibody Ranger replacement
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Now here's some welcome news. Car and Driver reports Ford is seriously mulling a replacement for the recently deceased Ranger, but the successor to the compact pickup's throne may not look anything like what we've seen from the nameplate in the past.
While speaking at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Doug Scott, marketing manager for Ford Trucks, said there's still a market for a smaller pickup, but that buyers expect to see a larger differentiation between the smaller utility vehicles and their full size counterparts in price, capability and fuel economy.
According to Scott, that means a vehicle with a payload capacity of around 1,000 pounds paired with a towing capacity of 3,000 pounds and "a dramatic reduction in fuel consumption." But the biggest piece of that recipe is the price tag, and Scott says to keep the MSRP far enough away from the already cheap F-150, the answer could come in the form of a unibody design. Scott says target customers in this market don't care whether the truck has a traditional frame or not, so long as it's tough enough to do the job and has the capability they need.
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.
Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]
Sun, 08 Dec 2013The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.
