2000 Ford E350 Sportsmobile Van 7.3ltr Turbo Diesel 4x4 (rv) on 2040-cars
Park City, Utah, United States
|
Let me first start with, I built this van to keep and camp in for years. I finally realized that my wife was right and that it is too small for a family of five to camp in. I am the second owner. It was bought new from Sportsmobile and spent its life in Florida stored in a garage (no rust). When I bought the van three months ago it was a two wheel drive. I had the conversion done in Salt Lake City at Advanced 4x4 (they have done over 10,000 conversions). I have driven the Quigley coil spring conversions as well as the Advanced Conversions and feel that the Advanced handles much better. Everything used in the conversion is new. It has a Dana 60 front axle with disc brakes and Warn locking hubs. The transfer case is the same one Ford motor co. uses in the Ford 550. So all of the running gear is new and has less than 200 miles on it. I also have a good friend who is a diesel mechanic go through the entire motor. When I originally started looking for a sports mobile my main requirement was the legendary 7.3 diesel. My mechanic did compression test on the motor and even ran it on a Dyno before and after the work. The engine has been modified for mileage and reliability only. It has a four inch down pipe with titanium heat wrap going into a five inch stainless steel exhaust. The spool in the turbo has been replaced with a Wicked Wheel and the computer has a five stage chip. All hoses on the entire motor have been replace as well as the turbo pipes. The motor has all new Ford motor co. glow plugs and injectors. I also installed a new fuel pump and fuel tank. I have also installed a pillar gauge set (trans temp, exhaust temp and turbo boost). The stereo has been upgraded to a Pioneer that will sync to your Bluetooth, it will also play DVD’s and has a backup camera. The rims are American Racing Mojave 18inch with 33inch tires. All five have less than 200 miles on them. The bumpers front and rear are from aluminess.com and they are not cheap. The exterior of the van has a few scratches and a small dent in front of the rear bumper on the driver side. The house batteries need replacing, they work but do not hold a charge long. All the canvas on the pop top (manual, not power) is in great shape. It has seat belts for eleven. The two bench seats in the rear fold into a bed and the penthouse has a bed as well. The van will sleep four comfortably. Three captains seats with belts. The interior is in good shape overall. It has hot water tank and an outdoor shower head behind the rear door. It is also equipped with a city water and power hookup. Any questions feel free to send an email. I can also send more pictures if needed.

Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan
Tue, 26 Nov 2013Back in September, Ford announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan, which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus. These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger, Chevy Impala, Chevy Caprice and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below, and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model). Head on over to Ford's Police Interceptor mini-site for even more pictures of the Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility.
Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
