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.

Our combined knowledge of the 2015 Ford Mustang continues to deepen, as spy shooters have begun to compile video and audio of the upcoming sixth-generation car.
Case in point is this latest series of video clips, which not only gives us a great vantage point of the Mustang in motion, but also allows us to hear the Ford V8 engine and exhaust. After perusing the aural delights of this short video, which, admittedly, doesn't catch the Mustang GT at full song, we can at least say that the throaty exhaust isn't disappointing.
Chances are good that the 2015 Mustang GT will debut with some version of the current (and excellent) Coyote 5.0-liter V8 engine, though we're unclear as to whether or not the motor has been massaged for its next-gen debut, or what may have been done to exhaust plumbing. At this point, we're just happy to hear the pony run. Scroll below to hear for yourself.

Between a bevvy of spy shots, speculative renders and insidery images from the halls of Car and Driver, we've got a pretty decent idea of what the 2015 Ford Mustang might look like. Still, we're excited to see the real deal as soon as possible.
Turns out that Ford has told us just when that first official look might come, too, although it has chosen somewhat of a backdoor fashion for dropping the news.
The video below popped up on the Ford Mustang YouTube channel this morning, promoting a social media effort called #MustangInspires on. The video and hashtag ask fans of the pony car to share pictures of the car - or "photographic stories of inspiration" - on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But the truly interesting part of the video description is that which mentions taking "the cover off the all-new Mustang" on December 5. Consider our calendars marked.

No Prius Killer
As much as we enthusiasts like to rail on the lowly Toyota Prius as the harbinger of death for all we hold dear, there's no denying the machine's absolute and interminable grip on the hybrid hatchback market in the United States. Toyota has so thoroughly sunk its teeth into the segment that you can clearly hear the automaker's incisors clacking against one another with the conclusion of each financial quarter. And there's little wonder why. Buyers can plop down less than $25,000 and have a runabout that can return up to an estimated 51 miles per gallon in the city, leaving every other entry on the market with precious little gristle to gnaw on.
Enter the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. With its claimed 47 mpg combined, the funky little hatch from Europe already falls behind the 48 mpg city offered by the Prius, but that marginal sacrifice in fuel economy could be a small price to pay for buyers who want a credible alternative to the stalwart Toyota. Unfortunately, like the Fusion Hybrid, the C-Max Hybrid had trouble even approaching its Environmental Protection Agency estimates during our time with the car.
