7.3 POWERSTROKE WITH A ZF 5SPEED
BACK STORY OF THE TRUCK: WE ACQUIRED THIS UNIT FROM A COMPANY THAT GOT OUT OF THE TOWING BUSINESS
TRUCK HAD BEEN SETTING IN A FIELD FOR 3 OR SO YEARS. WHEN WE GOT IT, RATS HAD BEEN LIVING UNDER THE HOOD
AND CHEWED ALMOST ALL THE WIRING UP IN THE ENGINE BAY. THE BED HAD JUST BEEN UNBOLTED AND REMOVED THEN
SET BACK ON THE TRUCK (MAYBE THEY HAD BED SOLD AND BUYER NEVER CAME THROUGH, IDK FOR SURE WHY) THE FUEL
TANK WAS MISSING AS WERE SOME OTHER MISC ENGINE ITEMS, IE. FUEL LINE,HP OIL LINES AND FUEL LINE FUEL PRESSURE
REGULATOR
WE CLEANED THE TRUCK UP AND REPLACED THE ENGINE HARNESS WITH A COMPLETE HARNESS(IT IS NOT CUT AND SPLICED)
AS WELL AS VACUUM LINES AND OTHER WIRING HARNESSES THAT WERE QUESTIONABLE. AGAIN WE CHANGED THE WHOLE HARNESS
INSTEAD OF REPAIRING ANY DAMAGED WIRES.
WE REPLACED EVERYTHING THAT HAD BEEN STOLEN OFF THE ENGINE, CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER AND FUEL FILTER, INSTALLED NEW FUEL
LINES AND FUEL PUMP. STILL DID NOT HAVE A TANK FOR IT SO HAD TO USE GAS CAN AS TANK. PUT TWO GOOD HOT BATTERIES ON IT AND
IT FIRED UP ALMOST INSTANTLY!
THIS POWERSTROKE RUNS EXTREMELY WELL. IT STARTS QUICK(NOT THAT SPIN,SPIN,SPIN LIKE MOST) IT IDLES GOOD(NOT THE LOOPY IDLE UNTIL WARMS UP LIKE MOST). WE WERE REALLY IMPRESSED AT HOW WELL IT DID RUN. YOU CAN HEAR IT HERE: here
WE HAVE THE BED BOLTED BACK ON AND CURRENTLY INSTALLING A NEW FUEL TANK.
THIS WOULD MAKE SOMEONE A GREAT TRUCK, EITHER STARTING OUT OR AN ADDITION TO YOUR FLEET. ITS A GREAT MEDIUM DUTY TRUCK
THAT IS VERY VERSATILE WITH TWIN 12000LB WINCHES.
YOU CAN FIND THE BED SPECS HERE: here
I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION EARLY FOR ANY REASON
