Up for sale is my 2000 Ford Excursion Limited. This truck has the well known 7.3 diesel, four wheel drive (4x4), as well as a very clean leather interior. The current mileage is 294,500 but may go up since it is a daily driver.  The truck is Burnt Chestnut, Ford color code B4 only available on 2000 Limited Excursions and was custom ordered.  I am the second owner of the truck, and I have all documentation of the work performed by me in the last two years, along with recent things done by the previous owner. This is a very well maintained truck that I would not hesitate to take anywhere!  I only use Motorcraft OEM filters and fluids. Don’t let the mileage fool you, Properly maintained 7.3 diesels will go 500,000+ miles!
I have done all the work to ensure the motor is good for another 300,000 miles at least.  I used the truck for pulling a 14’ enclosed trailer for work but, I have since sold the trailer and no longer really have a use for such a powerful/big truck! I have done many tasteful modifications but I can guarantee this truck was never chipped or tuned! It may resemble and have most of the supporting modifications but like I said I know for a fact this truck was never tuned.  This was all done for personal taste and mainly for towing and driving long trips. 
This truck was very well cared for by its previous owner and me. The truck has all the longevity modifications done by me to insure that the truck will perform trouble free for many miles to come!  A big issue on the 7.3’s is the oil pan rusting out well, this truck has a new Motorcraft oil pan, Newer Up pipes, and a rebuilt turbo.  While the motor was out all the block and freeze plugs were replaced as well. All that was done in 2010 by a Wickstrom Ford of Barrington IL. (According to the previous owner, and it shows!)  At 272,000 miles I had all 8 Fuel injectors replaced with Ford Motorcraft reman units as well as the glow plugs by, Heavy Metal Performance Diesel in Rockdale IL.  

The truck has two brand new batteries and a 100% new alternator done last year.  
I have done many modifications to the fuel system for longevity of the injectors. I did the “hutch mod” which eliminates a problem in the higher mileage diesels, there is also a large inline fuel filter installed with a kit from Dieselsite.com.  I installed a Fuel Rail Cross system to also help with fuel delivery known as the “FRx” by Riffraff Diesel Performance, you will find almost all of the parts installed came from there. At 286,000 I Installed a 100% new International water pump along with switching to a heavy duty Rotella Extended life coolant that is good for 300,000 miles!  The conventional green coolant is no good in a diesel! I also installed a Coolant filter system to eliminate any leftover casting sand from the factory that shortens the life of the water pump. I cannot begin to list everything I have done to this truck; I have always run synthetic Shell Rotella Oil and the motorcraft FL1995 oil filter changed every 3,000 miles! 
The Transmission shifts smooth and crisp, I installed an aftermarket Valve Body to help with Fords problem of “sluggish shifts”. The Valve body is a John Wood Valve Body who builds outstanding transmissions and is very well known. The transmission was always serviced every 30,000 miles and again it shows! I serviced it at 275,000 miles with motorcraft fluid and filter, with the Valve body done at 280,000 miles which I changed 10 quarts when I swapped the Valve body. The swap is for towing and the quicker shifts eliminate the slop in-between gears therefore decreasing heat, the enemy of transmissions!   There is simply too much to list to go into detail about but I will say it has a Re-built rear end, newer upper and lower MOOG ball joints, many, many new front end parts. The Tires are 75% left on BFG AT tires with a brand new spare! If you are interested in hearing more about the truck I would be happy to answer any questions you may have and help out in any way possible. 
I just took the truck on a 1,300 mile trip to Kansas and I got a hand calculated 20.2 mpg! I The interior is MINT with the only wear being on the drivers seat and a small area in the cargo area were a battery spilled. Ice cold AC and hot heat! I have an aftermarket Pioneer AVIC-D1 head-unit installed with GPS and all the standard features. Everything in the truck works, heated seats, power heated mirrors, Power drivers seat and all 3 climate control zones. The 3rd row seat looks barley used and is in mint condition. This is a very nice shape truck.
 I would be happy to send you over 100 detailed pictures and gladly tell you more about the truck! Please note that this truck is for sale locally and this auction can end at any time. This vehicle is sold as is where is. If you would like to inspect the truck before bidding please contact me and we can arrange that. The title is at my finance company but will be released same day pending a cash payment. I have verified the title is there and everything is set up. A 500.00 non refundable deposit is due via paypal within 48 hours of auction end. I will accept cash or check, If paying with a check My bank will hold the check for 24 hours to clear. I will not release the vehicle until the check clears. I will not ship outside the US and shipping is handled with the buyer, I will get you a quote if desired.

Ford dominates most-stolen SUV list

Tue, 17 Jun 2014



The Ford Escape leads the NICB's list with 1,421 examples stolen.
If you drive a recent Ford SUV or crossover, you may want to keep a watchful eye out for thieves - especially if you live in the New York metro area or in Detroit. A new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau has named three Ford models as the most likely vehicles in their genre to be stolen, with CUVs in general being especially attractive to bandits.

Ford Mustang GT350 drops some camo

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

Now that we've poured over the 2015 Ford Mustang in its standard form, it's time to look ahead. We already knew (and heard - literally) that Ford was working on a higher-performance version of its 'Stang to replace the Shelby GT500, and earlier reports have stated that it will simply be called the GT350.
We don't have a ton of detail to go on, but this latest set of spy photos clearly shows a hood-mounted air scoop, which suggests a forced-induction powerplant is under the hood. However, this disagrees with earlier reports that the GT350 will be all motor, using a naturally aspirated engine to send massive horsepower to the rear wheels. Our spies also point out the functional vent aft of the front wheels to allow for better airflow, and the massive quad exhaust pipes can be seen, clear as day.
Expect to see the Mustang GT350 in April, when it debuts at the New York Auto Show in conjunction with the Pony's 50th anniversary. In the meantime, have a look at our gallery above to see the latest shots of the hot Mustang out testing.
