Location:

 2001 Ford Excursion turbo diesel 4x4 - clean title - non smoker car

Rare excursion model - seats 9, three rows of cloth seats and has the turbo diesel motor and 4x4. Never seen another one like it. I searched for months for this vehicle and finally found it on Ebay. I purchased this Excursion from Ebay in 2006 with 117,000 miles, flew out to Texas and drove it back to California. Has never given me any problems and has received routine maintenance that I did myself. I don't trust other shops, I wanted to see the exact oil going into my engine.

7.3 powerstroke turbo diesel with 215,700 miles - only full synthetic oil used, very heavy duty Ranch Hand front bumper
Rebuilt automatic transmission with 2,000 miles, transmission upgraded with billet torque converter, heavy duty bands, and shift kit, new rear main seal - wasn't leaking but while the transmission was out - why not put a new one in, Slotted brake rotors and brake pads have a lot of life left. Tow package and electric brake controller, XLT model with gray cloth seats with no rips or tears, interior is in excellent shape,  hexo floor mats on all the rows and a rear cargo mat since I've owned the car to protect the carpet, carpet is stain free and in great shape, original floor mats under hexo mats, power windows, a/c works, heater, cd and tape deck, cold air intake with cleanable aem pro 7 filter and a aem pro dry filter so you can have one clean while cleaning the other, fuel injection wire harness was replaced at 204,000 miles along with the glow plugs, water pump/thermostat was replaced at 190,000 miles, Goodyear Duratrac E rated tires with 3/4 tread, aftermarket 17" wheels, four wheel drive works great, I switched out the factory vacuum hubs for Warn manual hubs that always work when you need them to. Only issue with car is the interior lights don't turn on when you open the doors, the interior lights work but not automatically when you open a door, just never got around to checking into it. Small scrape/dent on passenger side front fender, 2 small dings on front edge of the passenger side front door. Rear door hatch lock is getting weak because it sometimes locks and sometimes doesn't, Steering is a little loose but I'm sure good for a 215,000 mile car, small chips on hood, these things you can see in the pictures, Will be sad to see it go - any questions feel free to ask - I have bought a lot of cars from Ebay and that is why I have told you every little thing about the car. Car has original owners manual and haynes manual, when I bought the car I was given one key and key fob remote, I purchased another key and key fob remote but never programmed the remote.

Mulally will stay close to Ford after he steps down, plans to advise Fields [w/video]

Fri, 27 Jun 2014

Ford CEO Alan Mulally has less than a week left in his role of leading the Blue Oval before he hands off duties to Mark Fields on July 1. It doesn't look like Mulally is going to be shuffling off into his retirement anytime soon, though. The 68-year-old is being rather secretive about his next move, but he tells Bloomberg in a recent interview that he plans to stay close to Ford. Also, if Fields wants to ask for any advice, Mulally is happy to help.
Mulally took over at Ford in 2006 and led the company through a seriously rough patch in the auto industry. According to Bloomberg, he became famous or his Thursday meetings where executives were forced to deal with any problems before they could leave. Since announcing his retirement from Ford in May, Mulally has been insuring a smooth transition of power by traveling the world to all of company's major locations and saying goodbye to employees and dealers.
In terms of the future at Ford, Mulally doesn't predict any big changes in management style because the rest of the executive team is staying in place. He believes that Fields is going to maintain the processes already in place to keep things going. After all, it seems to be working. The company is predicting a return to profitability in Europe next year and is opening 88 new dealers in China. If the business could get its recalls under control, things could get even better.

Riding along in Ford's bonkers Fiesta ST Global RallyCross car [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013



The Mountune-worked Fiesta ST GRC does 0-to-60 mph in 1.9 seconds.
On any given day, and every single weekend, there's at least one parking in the country invaded by manufacturer and team trucks. The be-chromed beasts and their 53-foot trailers are slotted into rows, men and women decorate the lot with orange cones to mark the invisible tracery of a temporary track, cars get unloaded, crews fret over them. The ritual can be as beautiful as the sunrise to those with enthusiast hearts, but it's just as common.

1947 Chevy rat rod pickup leaves rubber and smoke in its wake

Thu, 08 May 2014

Cool comes in multiple flavors. One one hand, we have the sophisticated attraction of svelte design and the efficient use of power. Of course, on the other hand there is the allure of being the bad boy and going against the grain. That is part of the appeal of rat rods. Ideally, they are built without rules to an owner's specific tastes, and this widened and heavily modified 1947 Chevrolet pickup rod is a perfect example of that spirit.
Coming down the highway with a bent grille, rusted body and pouring smoke, it looks like the pickup from hell. It backs up the looks with some very impressive mechanicals too. Owner Troy Gubser says that the truck packs a Ford Power Stroke diesel with to 42 pounds of boost that runs out of 8-inch exhaust stacks at the back. He claims it managed 505 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque on the dyno. To harness all that power, this hot rod has a ZF five-speed manual gearbox with a ceramic clutch and short-throw shifter. Plus, it has cool little features like a doorbell on the tailgate that operates an air horn.
You might not expect a truck like this to actually be useful, but it has a fifth wheel coupling to haul an RV around drag races and car shows. The air suspension also probably keeps the ride fairly comfy when Gubser wants it to be. Scroll down to check out this beastly rat rod pickup and watch it engage in some diesel drag racing. Warning, there is some NSFW language.
