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.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job
Tue, 07 Jan 2014When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.
Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively.
