NO RESERVE AUCTION! Because of the huge number of non paying bidders, a $500 deposit is due within 24 hours of the end of the auction. If you actually show up and are not satisfied, i will gladly refund your money. If you call or e mail with excuses about somebody dying or whatever - you will NOT be refunded. Why, you ask? Because everybody has an excuse. Don't bid unless you can afford it. If you don't show up in person - you lose the deposit and i will relist it the following week. I'm a VERY easy going person - I've just heard too many excuses. This truck has 6 brand new tires - maybe 1,000 miles on them. New Napa batteries within a year, gooseneck hitch, leather lariat, ARP head studs, EGR delete, completely rebuilt engine. Very nice truck. I bought this truck from Florida so it's nearly rust free. The only rust is on top of the cab - the clear coat came off and somehow it started lightly rusting up there. When I bought the truck, I was driving it back and the head gasket went out on me in Virginia. I had to get it towed home. I pulled the heads and it sat for a couple weeks and the top of the cylinders started rusting, so I decided to just do it right and pull the whole engine out. I took it to a machine shop and the engine was bored out - I believe .020 oversize. The decks of the block were resurfaced, the cylinder heads resurfaced with a valve job, crank polished, cam polished with new roller lifters, of course all new gaskets, the turbo pulled apart and cleaned, all 8 injectors were replaced with new from injectors direct (they rebuild them for motorcraft with brand new spools). Of course I used the motorcraft head gaskets with ARP studs and upgraded the STC fitting. I put a remote coolant filter on it, new thermostat and I also had the radiator and Intercooler taken to a radiator repair shop and gone over - pressure tested and cleaned. I changed the trans filters and fluid. Also a new oil cooler. I lost count of how much money I have in this thing, and i'm sure there's a few more things that I did to the engine that I'm forgetting. I know I have well over $22K into this truck after paying $15 for the truck I also put an EGR delete on it, so it might not pass your states emission testing. In Ohio, you can just pay a little more for commercial plates and don't have to deal with emissions. I am going to have you sign a statement acknowledging that the EGR cooler was deleted, for my own protection. So, why am I selling? Read the whole thing because I honestly don't think there's a problem, but I want do disclose everything. I do a lot of cross country trips pulling a trailer and while I was on a trip, coming back from New York & going through the mountains in Pennsylvania. I was pulling my equipment trailer (weighs 4,000 pounds empty) and had an F350 dually cab & chassis on the trailer - pulling every bit of 9,000 pounds total. While going up a long grade, the check coolant temperature light came on. I pulled over, let it cool down and started going again. Once i started up a long grade - same thing - check coolant temperature and the guage spiked. I lpulled off the road a 3rd time, but this time was different because as soon as I pulled off the road and shut it off, I immediately turned the ignition back on to listen to the radio and the light went out and the temperature guage went from being hot, to being back in the normal range. This happened just by turning it off and back on again. So I figured I would start going again and see what happpened and it was fine. To play it safe, I pulled into a NAPA in Pennsylvania and bought a new fan clutch and another new thermostat and anti freeze. I installed the parts in the parking lot, got on the road, but it continued happening, but when it would do it - I would keep driving and just watch the needle to see if it would go past the hot side and it never did and I made it all the way home. After i got through the bigger mountains - it starts getting flatter when you get closer to Pittsburgh and the light never came on again. I had another trip planned and had to go to California and pull a trailer home. I just could NOT trust taking this truck, going through the Rocky mountains pulling a trailer with 2 cars on it. I ended up buying an older f350 with a 7.3. It doesn't have the same power, but I trust it. Anyway, I am just going to cut my losses and let this go. I have been told that the temperature guage is more of an idiot light than an accurate guage and was told to put a real guage in it. I'm not putting another dime into this truck since I now have another. Come look at it and drive it. I would trust it driving anywhere empty, but I don't trust it pulling a heavy trailer up a long grade. On the plus side, it's a lariat, a gooseneck hitch, no rust underneath, 6 new tires, 2 new napa batteries, and an SCT tuner - I have NOT installed any tunes - i only bought it so that i could read codes. All the expensive parts have been installed, so even if it does have a problem - you are most of the way there already. You can have the SCT tuner and also the special tool to remove the colling fan - I have no use for them anymore.On Nov-19-14 at 15:21:09 PST, seller added the following information: FYI, I drove started the truck today and moved it over to my dads place, about 2 miles away. It was EXTREMELY cold today and it started very easy, but halfway there, the "low oil pressure" light came on. I don't know what caused it - it has never done that before. If you know anything about these engines, you know that it cannot run with no oil pressure because oil pressure it what makes the injectors work. No oil pressure would make the engine shut down. It did NOT shut down - it came on when i was at a stop light, then once i accelerated, the needle went back up and the light went out. I have no idea why it did this - maybe the cold weather - maybe something else. Bid accordingly.
