2001 Ford Excursion 4x4 7.3 Turbodiesel W/wvo Conversion on 2040-cars
Ashland, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This is a high mileage Pennsylvania vehicle with all the associated rust you would expect. I would fix the rust (I was quoted $3,000) if I could still get the waste vegetable oil to run it, but I have run into supply problems. If I could drive it on the WVO a repair like that could effectively be paid for in a year. Mechanically it is sound. The 7.3 Powerstroke diesel is a great engine, and it starts and runs great, has enough power to pull the largest trailer with its class 3 hitch. The turbocharger and waste gate was replaced shortly after I bought it in Florida in 2008 and brought it back to PA. I just put new brake calipers, rotors and pads on the rear for June inspection. The alternator was replaced 3 months ago, and the starter last year. The transmission was rebuilt last summer by Vic's Transmissions in Elysburg, PA and has a three year warranty. The first year is 100% parts & labor and ends on 8/16/2014. The second year is 70% parts & labor and ends on 8/16/2015. The third year is 50% parts & labor and ends on 8/16/2016. The air conditioning was recharged a month ago, and blows cold. I replaced the electric fuel pump last week and both the Fleetguard filter and the stock fuel filter are new. New Pennsylvania state inspection expires June 2015. The waste oil conversion was done by Full Circle Fuels in Oberlin, OH and has been trouble free with proper maintenance. This conversion features a custom diesel tank that nestles within the frame rails and preserves ground clearance. The stock tank is used for vegetable oil and has a heated pickup tube, piped to the switching valve and the Fleetguard fuel filter pictured with a heating blanket. In the winter I also use an insulated wrap over the heating blanket for added insurance. There are two fuel filler caps, a spin-on for the diesel and the factory cap for WVO. It's not necessary to run it on WVO, you can simply buy the diesel fuel, and drive it like normal. But what's the fun of that? The 4WD works, tires have good tread, headlights were replaced with high-output halogen bulbs last winter. Like I said, there is rust, mainly the rocker panels. But it's been a good truck and has some good miles in it yet for the right buyer. Please ask any questions that aren't clear, and I will be happy to send additional photos on request. I require a $1,000 deposit at close of auction by PayPal only. The balance is due on pick-up within 10 days and must be cash, money order or cashier's check. There is a notary here in my town that will finalize everything. If you aren't satisfied with the truck at time of pick-up, a full refund of your deposit will be given. Delivery is available, I will drive it to you within a reasonable distance for the cost of the fuel.

Ford recalls 2017 Lincoln Continental for headlight problem
Tue, Oct 11 2016Ford Motor Co. is already recalling the 2017 Lincoln Continental for a headlight problem, the automaker announced Tuesday. The HID headlights may have been assembled with LED lens that don't have the correct lens optics to meet federal visibility requirements for turn signals. Ford says it is unaware of any accidents related to the issue. The company will replace the headlamp assemblies, if needed. The safety compliance recall covers 1,876 Continentals built from June 14 to Sept. 23 at Ford's Flat Rock factory south of Detroit. Most of the cars are in the United States; 49 are in Canada, and one is in a federalized territory. Only about 300 cars are in consumers' hands, a spokesperson said. Customers can use a Lincoln service program where dealers will pick up their Continental, fix it for free, and return it, the spokesperson said. Lincoln has high hopes for the Continental. The flagship sedan uses one of Lincoln's most iconic names and features a luxurious interior, available 400-horsepower V6 engine, and safety features like adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera. Lincoln recently announced an elaborate marketing campaign shot by renown photographer Annie Leibovitz to generate interest in the Continental. In a separate recall, Ford also said Tuesday that 60 Edges from the 2015-16 model year are being recalled to update their antilock braking system module.

Ford Mustang hit by Moore' Oklahoma's EF5 tornado lives to do another burnout
Fri, 07 Jun 2013Oklahoma recently saw the destructive power of an EF5 tornado, but in the aftermath of the devastation, we've also been witness to the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Moore, OK resident Jack Haden survived the storm but found that his 2003 Ford Mustang wasn't quite as lucky. As you can see in the image above, the tornado's 200+ mph winds did quite a number on the car, but while most people would have likely called their insurance company and scrapped the car, Haden had other plans.
After finding the car and seeing that its V6 still fired up, Haden spent a couple hours getting the car, um... roadworthy(?)... by removing the doors and front clip, cutting off the roof and putting on some new wheels and tires. He noticed that driving it around brought some comic relief to an area that needed a reason to laugh and smile. Check out the KSBI TV news report video below showing before and after pictures of the tough 'Stang, as well as a video showing the newly lightweight coupe doing a smoky burnout.
Ford bringing C-Max Solar Energi Concept to CES
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Solar energy might not be enough to power a usable electric vehicle on its own, but that doesn't mean it can't lend a helping hand. And that's what Ford has in store for the Consumer Electronics Show opening next week in Las Vegas.
Ford has essentially taken its C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid and fitted it with the latest in solar panel technology developed by SunPower, acting like a magnifying glass to capture as much of the sun's energy as possible. So you get the benefit of an electric vehicle, with the range assurance of a hybrid, without needing to draw from the grid.
Ford estimates that a day of charging in the sunshine will give the C-Max Solar Energi concept the same full charge as the production PHEV, with a total range of 620 miles - 21 of which can be run on electric power alone. Otherwise the vehicle - which remains a concept for the time being - is identical to the existing C-Max Energi. The top-selling model in Ford's growing hybrid and electric vehicle portfolio helps put Ford just behind Toyota among the top seller of hybrids in America. Scope out the images in the gallery above and the video clip and press release below for a closer look.
