This is a 3 owner truck. I have owned this truck since November 2008. When I purchased it in 08 it had 92,724 miles. The truck has 176,850 miles on it now. The oil and filter has been charged every 4,000 miles and the fuel / air filters every 12,000. I have done all the oil and filter changes myself and have lubricated the chassis at every oil change. I have always used Wix filters and used Stanadyne fuel conditioner. I have had the transmission flushed by Ford at 94,008 & 159,360 miles. The differential fluid was changed at 120,098 miles with Amsoil synthetic. The front wheel bearings were packed at 94,289 & 170,270 with Amsoil synthetic grease. The radiator was flushed with distilled water and replaced with new coolant at 146,323. I did a complete brake job at 170,270 which included turning front rotors & rear drums, replaced both front calipers and both rear wheel cylinders, master cylinder, brake booster, diversion valve and finally the vacuum pump. ( the vacuum pump was the problem the whole time.... It just happened to be the last thing I replaced !!!!! .) The tires were installed on 10/22/10 at 133,784. They are Firestone Transforce HT. the tires are rated for 60,000, they still have a lot left. I have them rotated every 8 to 10,000.The gentleman that I purchased the truck from had the transmission rebuilt at 78,673. It has a Axiom heavy duty converter and a Transco shift kit. I have describe the history of the maintenance as good as possible. The A/C blows cold and the heater is hot. Every thing works as it should. No rust. The paint looks great, there are a few dings but not worth worrying about. I took a pic of the worst one on the rear passenger door. My portable cover got caught by the wind and the pole rubbed the door. I used this truck to pull a small bumper pull camper that weighed around 5,200 pounds. This truck will get 20 mpg at 2000 rpm... Around 60 mph empty, around 14 mpg pulling my trailer. As far as the interior, it looks almost new. The seats and carpet show very lite wear. They have always been covered and will include the covers. The truck will also include a complete set of Huskey floor liners. I left the rear set cover on in the pictures, just because it was difficult to install. It is just a clean as the front seats. I would be very surprised to see a 1997 as clean as this anywhere for sale. If you are the buyer of this truck you will not be disappointed. If you have any questions e-mail them to me. You can pick this up locally or I can help you arrange for transport. The buyer will be responsible for delivery cost. I can also be contacted at 979-236-6003.

Ford readying Ranger-based Everest SUV?
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Way back in August, we showed you a Ford concept for the Australian market called the Everest. Now, we can show you that work on the new Ranger-based SUV is well under way.
At this stage, it's still quite clearly a mule (note the misalignment of the front and rear doors), wearing the Ranger's front end and the rump of Ford's overseas Territory crossover. The wheelbase is shorter than a Ranger, according to our spy photographers, which strikes us as somewhat odd for a more passenger-oriented vehicle. Disc brakes should be fitted at all four corners, while the new SUV, which will almost certainly wear the Everest name, should sport a new rear suspension.
In terms of looks, we're expecting the Everest Concept to inform the appearance of the production model. Naturally, there will also be some interior tweaks, particularly around the dashboard, which is covered in these photos.
Ford vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.
2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty is class-leading once again
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Time for everyone to feign surprise - Ford has just announced that it has the increased horsepower and torque levels of its 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 engine for 2015. As you'd expect, the Blue Oval is claiming class-leading figures of 440 hp (up from 400) and 860 pound-feet (up from 800), and that's enough to enable Ford's F-450 Super Duty model to tow as much as 31,200 pounds, which, again, the automaker claims is class leading.
Now, it should be noted that the max rating quoted above is achieved with the Ford F-450. The 2015 F-350, which is perhaps a better comparison to the Ram 3500 HD pickup that claimed the towing crown in 2013 at an even 30,000 pounds, is capped at 26,500 pounds, either with a gooseneck or when towing a fifth-wheel trailer. In any case, it's going to take a load the size of Godzilla to make any of the current crop of fullsize heavy-duty pickup trucks break into a sweat. For those keeping track, Chevy rates its 2015 Silverado HD at a maximum of 23,200 pounds.
Ford's newfound pulling power comes courtesy of a larger turbocharger for its in-house Power Stroke engine, new fuel injector tips and, we'd assume, retuned computer controls. Besides the engine enhancements, the F-350 gets a wider front track for 2015 and new front springs, while the F-450 gains commercial-grade 19.5-inch wheels and tires, new rear U-joints, leaf springs, stabilizer bars and shocks. The steering and brake systems have also been upgraded.
