Time to sell my baby. Not literally because that would be way illegal, so instead I'm selling my truck. I bought this truck new at the Ford Dealership in Ennis (pronounced a-nus if you are from around these parts), TX with 137 miles on it. When I bought it diesel was around a buck and I had a 42 mile commute to work. After one stop sign leaving town, I didn't touch the brakes for the next 40 miles, then 2 miles of city driving in Dallas, so I racked up some easy highway miles on it. Then I moved and my commute dropped significantly. This truck would probably have under 100K miles on it had it not been for those first few years. This F250 is unique because it came with the towing package transmission, but not the telescopic mirrors. It was Ford's "Big school bus mirrors are for pussies" option. I have never towed or pulled anything with the truck. I can count on one hand the number of times I started it without waiting for the glow plug light to go off and I cursed myself all four times I did it. So the glow plugs have been treated right all their life. It has an engine block heater if you are buying it to take up north. It is a Texas truck so it doesn't have rust or corrosion. We put sand on the ice and snow here, which works great for 25 seconds until more snow covers the sand. The Texas DOT might as well be throwing colored sprinkles on the road, it works about as well. And it would be soooo pretty as you were spinning into the guard rail. You could see colored sprinkles before the wreck and stars after! I also never dogged it out other than the occasional punch to smoke out Lance Armstrong and his buddies riding their bicycles on busy streets when the North Texas area has hundreds of miles of bike trails that cost taxpayers millions. I figured the extra carbon in the air helped their lungs work harder thus giving them a better workout. The middle finger was just for me to feel better about it. I've run Lucas fuel injector and lubricant in every other tank, so all the innards of the engine should be clean enough to eat off of, although I wouldn't suggest it. All mechanical repairs were done at the Ford Dealership. What I had done: - Coolant change. Nothing big there except the next oil change they told me the plastic coolant reservoir was cracked. So I got a new one and even newer coolant... they didn't even have the courtesy to let me drink the old new coolant, something about going blind. I think they just wanted to keep it for their next office party. Mmmm lime green moonshine. - Just spent $1800 having the front end tightened up, they replaced all the worn out parts they could find. It was like a daddy stitch after an episiotomy, except much more expensive. - Brand new Duralast Batteries last month. I would provide you with my contact info so you can get them replaced under warranty at Auto Zone if they go out. - New fuel filter and oil change. I always had the oil changed on schedule but would go to Kwik Kare instead of Ford sometimes if I didn't have time to run to the dealership. Kept all records in the glove box. - Had the turn signal stick replaced this year. You would think that was a cheap repair, but the part alone was $300 and labor was like $250. Apparently they have to lift the chassis off the frame to hook up the wiper controls to the stick. Also had the driver's side power window and lock control panel replaced. Similar procedure to the turn signal stick because it cost a fortune. - I installed a K&N air filter. Just cleaned it. You would just need the cleaning kit, but those are cheap. The truck has the original sticker and I just taped it back up on the window. I've left the American Flag sticker on the rear window, the Pepsi sticker and the "Contrary to belief, nobody owes you anything" bumper stickers on it. For those of you buying it for a work truck, I'm sure you will understand and keep the second sticker on there. I'm leaving the after market XM radio with the truck. It runs into the cassette deck. I'm sure if you call XM and tell them you bought a used truck with it in there, they will probably give you a free trial period. The tailgate has some boo boos on it and there are some small scratches onthe drivers door that can be buffed out. This is a 7.3L Powerstroke and I intended to keep it for a million miles, but then my commute increased again as did diesel prices so I bought a new VW TDI Golf that gets 50mpg or better on the highway. I've treated this truck right it's whole life and I'm sure it will make that million miles, but the truck is sold as is with no warranty. Use of the pictures on this ad require the express written and oral consent of the NFL, MLB, and League of Women's voters. I will store it until you can arrange to pick it up for a 12 pack of Pepsi per week. Seriously.On Dec-29-12 at 13:50:34 PST, seller added the following information: Time to sell my baby.

Call me at 214 289 0358 if you would like to test drive it. It has a clear Texas title that I will turn over when I receive the full payment. I'll also send you off with a full tank of diesel.
