1989 Ford F-250 diesel 2wd 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. It has a clean and clear MN title. This truck runs, shifts, and drives great! This has the original non-turbo 7.3 International diesel motor. The tires are in great shape with over 3/4 tread left all the way around. I also have an aftermarket Kenwood CD player installed. It has working dual gas tanks too. Right now the only issue with it is that the emergency brake/antilock dash light stays on due to a stuck switch (emergency brake works fine). It has a plug-in block heater that helps it start right up in the winter. The diesel gets good fuel economy; I have gotten as high as 19mpg on the freeway.
This is the extended cab with the 8' long box. It can seat 6 people inside and pull anything! The interior is in good shape for the year, only one tear near the driver's side of the bench. I also have an aftermarket Kenwood CD player installed.
This truck was always stored winters prior to this year and the body is super clean. Check out the pictures of the rust-free frame rails and the pictures of the original factory spot welds on the inner wheel well lips not showing any signs of rust. I had the truck painted last year because the paint was faded (no rust or body work had to be done). This truck has never been in an accident and the body is straight with no Bondo or filler. They also sprayed the inside of the bed when they painted it and I have not hauled anything since so it still looks nice. The body and paint are not perfect; there are a few small spots here and there but overall it is in great shape for a driver-quality truck and it gets compliments all the time.
If you are looking for a classic truck that is reliable and practical this one is worth a look. I drive this truck on 100 mile trips about twice a week without any issues. I wish I could keep it but I just don't have the room in the driveway as my family is moving. This truck has been well cared for it's whole life and it shows. You will not be dissapointed.
A $200 non-refundable downpayment through paypal is required within 48 hours of auction end. The rest can be payable through cash, cashiers check, or money order but it must clear before the truck leaves my property. I can help arrange for shipping at your cost or pick you up at the Minneapolis/St Paul airport if you fly in and want to drive it home. Please feel free to contact me with questions. The truck is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes
Fri, 07 Dec 2012At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
Ford dissects the heart of the 2015 Mustang, its engine range
Thu, 05 Dec 2013Happy Mustang Day. Are you tired of hearing about the 2015 Ford Mustang yet? No? Good, here's a bunch of mechanical data on Ford's sixth-gen muscle car, along with cutaways of the GT's 5.0-liter V8 and the new 2.3-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder shown above. We also have a smattering of info on the Stang's updated transmissions and an exploded-parts-diagram view of its all-new independent rear suspension.
Ford is set to make waves offering the Mustang with a turbo for the firs time since the small-volume SVO of the 1980s. Displacing 2.3 liters, the engine's twin-scroll turbo should help the four-cylinder turn out a projected 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, while also returning the best fuel economy in the Mustang's engine lineup. As we said in our Deep Dive, the EcoBoost will be slotted in as a premium engine, above the 3.7-liter V6 but below the 5.0-liter V8.
Speaking of that high-revving eight-cylinder, it's receiving a new cylinder head with high-flow ports. The intake and exhaust valves are larger and the cams have been replaced, among other tweaks. It should rev even higher thanks to a rebalanced crankshaft and forged connecting rods. Ford is still claiming a projected 420 hp and 390 lb-ft, although as many of the changes for the 2015's V8 come from the 2013 Boss 302, we're going to assume there's some sandbagging at work.
The big dune jump and the damage done
Mon, 20 May 2013The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.
