This is a 1992 Ford F350 with the 7.3L diesel engine with 4X4 and it's a crew cab. It took me a very long time to find a truck that had all these options prior to me buying it. When I found the truck it was located in southern TX, I flew down and drove it all the way home. Here in MI is is very hard to find a truck that isn't eaten away with rust and this one is in really great shape. I have driven it daily throughout the past 3 years and it has never left me stranded anywhere. We are moving and I can't get all my stuff to the other side of the country so this has to go, and I'm really bummed by having to sell it.

Here are the good points to the truck:

3/0 battery cables that were put in about a year ago
2 new batteries that were put in about 2 months ago
Electric fuel pump put in a mont ago (Dura Lift about $250 worth of new parts)
Transfer case rebuilt in February
New carrier bearing 2 months ago
Tires are in fair shape
Engine has run great
Glow plugs are in good shape
Installed manual glow plug button
Transmission works properly
Rear seat and cab is in really good shape
Proper coolant has been run in this truck (I use fleet guard)
Good block heater
Its been very reliable (I am a firefighter and use it to make runs from home)

Here are the bad points of the truck:

284+K miles, the truck still runs great though
Power steering hoses leak
Tranny coolant lines are leaking (not much but I would replace them the next time I flushed the coolant)
The headlights suck (replaced the originals with some cheap clear lens ones and they are not that good)
There is a tear in the drivers side seat
Glow plug relay (I'm guessing this is the issue) works when it wants
There are two clearance lights that the lens are broken on
The paint is horrible (the old paints just weren't formulated very well) You can see in the pictures that there isn't much clear coat
There is a dent in the hood from what appears that someone tried to shut the hood while the hinge was locked in the open position
The front bumper has a dent and is also rusted through on one corner
The interior light works sometimes when you open the door but not at other times
The door locks don't work for all doors
There appears to be some bondo in the drivers door
There is rust in the bottom corners of both fenders
The mirror switch for auto mirrors is not working (this just started in the past couple weeks)
Someone cut a hole in the bed for what I'm guessing was going to be a stack exhaust
The dash has many cracks
The vent slats are all non functional
The door panels all are in need of either being replaced or worked on
Drivers side seat belt doesn't fully retract
The rear gas tank I have never used because the previous owner told me that it didn't work, and I have never looked into it
Dents and scratches

I'm sure I have missed both some good points and some bad points so ask about anything that you might have questions about. If you're asking yourself why would you be interested in this truck, I will tell you why I bought it and why I hate seeing it go. I think this is one of the best F body trucks of all time. I needed an option to haul my wife and four kids in the winter and this truck could hold everyone and being 4X4 it could make it through the snow. The 7.3 naturally aspired is slow but it just keeps going. This truck has been rock solid for me, I don't know if anyone had done any work to the engine prior to me owning it but seems like it has many miles left in it. All the guys at the fire department love this truck and many of them want to buy it but they are firefighters and don't have any money. There is very little to be done to keep this truck functional. The body and interior could use some work but it hasn't bothered me. I feel safe in this truck.

Due to the age of the truck I can't promise you that it will run forever or offer any type of warranty. Because I am moving across the country the truck will need to be picked up no later than May 3rd unless we have worked out some type of arrangement prior to the end of the auction. The hitch isn't included in the auction but there is a diamond plate tool box that does go with the truck.

Ford dealers offered discounts on tools to fix aluminum

Mon, 27 Jan 2014

With the introduction of the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 (and the likely use of aluminum in future Ford products), Ford is looking to help its dealerships reduce costs related to repairing this more labor-intensive material. Automotive News is reporting that Ford dealers with body shops will require an estimated $30,000 to $50,000 in equipment and training to work on aluminum, and to help alleviate the financial burden of the new F-150, Ford has announced a special 20-percent discount on this equipment.
Dealers will be able to save up to $10,000 on tools such as welders, air-filtration systems and rivet guns and to create aluminum-specific work stations. The new F-150 goes on sale in the fourth quarter, and dealers have until October 31 to take advantage of this deal, according to the report.

2015 Ford Mustang stars in bizarrely awesome '80s aerobics video

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

For reasons we can't comprehend, here's a music video starring the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang and a number of dancers dressed and styled in the most stereotypically 1980s way possible. The dancers then take part in a male-versus-female dance off. Again, we've no idea why it exists.
It's weird, and for the second time in two weeks, we're sat at our computer wondering, "What are we watching?" That said, it does show the new Mustang from a number of angles, and it's one of the first car-related YouTube videos we've seen that's available in a 4K, ultra-high-def stream.
Take a look below, and let us know what you think in Comments.

Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.
