2003 Ford Super Duty F-250 F250 Xlt, Powerstroke 7.3 Diesel, Zf-6, Forged Rods on 2040-cars
Highland, Indiana, United States
Up for sale is my baby, my 2003 Ford F-250 XLT. Powerstroke 7.3L (444cu in) and ZF-6 manual transmission. I purchased the truck from a dealership in Ohio, and over the last 4 years I have replaced the 8' bed with a new one off a 2009, replaced the cab corners and rockers, and have done the following engine/performance modifications:
MBRP Stainless 4" straight pipe exhaust with 5" tip Banks Ram-Air Intake New exhaust manifolds with bellowed up-pipes Diesel Site 203 degree thermostat Diesel Site Boost Fooler Diesel Site Wicked Wheel 2 Gale Banks Tune, set on Performance setting (+130HP) South Bend Dual Disc Clutch (650HP holding capacity) (part#SFDD3250-6) The wheels are Fuel Off-Road Throttle Series, wrapped in 275x65R20 (34" diameter) Nitto Terra Grappler Tires (60% tread) Python security system with remote start and GPS Kenwood DPX500BT head unit with BlueTooth and JL audio speakers all around AGR Saginaw Power Steering Pump conversion AMSOIL in the crankcase, differentials, transmission, transfer case, and power steering system JOBOX toolbox and Extang Fulltilt Toolbox Tonneau Cover Although 2003 model trucks should have the powdered metal connecting rods, the engine is manufactured from Canoas, Brazil (instead of Fort Wayne) and upon removal of the inspection cover revealed the rods having studs and nuts, instead of bolts (indicating forged design). The doors may need to be replaced in a couple of years, as there is noticeable rust forming in the bottom sections. Other than that, she is extremely solid given her age and that she is a daily driver. Truck is a loaded standard cab, with power windows, locks, and cruise control. She cruises down the highway without any rattles or vibrations at 85+ MPH. Buy her here, and drive her around the world if you would like. Very solid and fun to drive with plenty of power. If you have any questions please ask! |

Ford rolls out diesel Focus ST at Goodwood [w/poll]
Sun, 29 Jun 2014If you're in the market for a hot hatch, there are some excellent choices at your disposal - especially if you live in Europe. But if you want a diesel, well, your choices become rather more limited. Volkswagen tends to that niche market with the Golf GTD (essentially an oil-burning version of the GTI available Stateside), but that's about the extent of it. The pleas of those looking for more diesel-burning hot hatch choices haven't fallen on deaf ears at Ford, with the Blue Oval not only rolling out a facelifted gas-powered Focus ST at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend, but also a new diesel version as well.
The diesel Focus ST (which we hope and pray isn't marketed as the STD) packs a 2.0-liter turbodiesel four producing 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque to propel the oil-burning hot hatch to 62 in 8.1 seconds en route to a top speed of 135 miles per hour. With less power and only slightly more torque, that makes the diesel Focus ST considerably slower than the gasoline one, which packs 252 hp and 270 lb-ft, runs to 62 in 6.5 seconds and tops out at 154 mph, but (in a testament to how far particulate filters have come) the diesel model cuts carbon emissions by nearly a third compared to the petrol version and returns about 50-percent better fuel economy, which makes that much more of a difference in markets where diesel is already priced better than gasoline at the pump.
For buyers who wouldn't consider anything other than a diesel, it also represents 23-percent more power than the previous top-level diesel Focus. The VW Golf GTD, for reference, offers up 181 hp (just 1 horse less), 280 lb-ft (15 fewer torques) but is somehow estimated to reach 60 in a considerably fleeter 7.4 seconds.
Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated
Mon, 02 Dec 2013Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
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.
