I'm selling my 2005 Ford Excursion Eddie Bauer Edition 6.0 Liter Power Stroke Diesel 4x4. This SUV is in excellent condition and gets hand washed/waxed every other weekend. When i purchased this SUV from a fellow EBayer in 2011 I immediately upgraded the suspension with a BDS lift (3.5 inch) nothing crazy, and added BDS dual steering stabilizers. The ride and handling characteristics of this huge SUV improved 100%. It went from squirrely to tame immediately - while it was in the shop, I had the crew install a Banks Big Hoss IQ system (bankspower.com/products/show/41/35) which adds approximate up to 138HP and up to 231 lb-ft of torque. I always drive it on Econ mode as it gives plenty of power when i need it. I've never used the drag mode or the other settings (there are 6) because LA traffic doesn't let you do much! And i never felt the need for more when it was loaded for the few camping trips we were able to make - I would cruise the 101 freeway loaded up with gear at 85MPH - breeze. Car camping is a pleasure as we would use a queen size air mattress in the back and our 80lb Rottie still had room to stretch out at the foot of the bed! The roof rack holds 6 bright RIGID LED lights - Left, Right and Rear. I have a 20 inch Rigid LED bar that i was going to install, but never got around to it. The Garvin roof rack holds a Full size Shovel, Axe and a 48" High Lift Jack but these are not included in the sale but the mounts are. The lights are activated by a 6 bank switch plate - obviously only three are in use (see pics). I was going to have a custom floor mounted piece made for the switches, but again, i haven't been able to find a decent maker or stock type - I know they exist, just haven't found one - Jotto makes one but it needs to be rigged to fit without their 28" mounting plate. Heated Seats, Power seats for both driver and passenger - Tow Package, REar AC, Power rear vented back panel windows - Loaded. Rear camera, parking distance control......full steering wheel controls...etc. I added a Pioneer AVIC Z140 Stereo head unit w/ SAT (SiriusXM), Bluetooth, HD radio etc.I also added Pioneer speakers front and rear with a Rockford Fosgate Punch amp. I connect my IPhone5 directly or via BT and it works great - I use Pandora frequently - I connect it via the charger when i need to charge my iPhone or iPad. In the center console i installed a console combo safe from console vault - I lock up valuables with confidence. I can show u how to change the combo - takes about 2 seconds or set it to 000. 2k miles ago in October, i spent $4000 on new EGR cooler, new Oil cooler, a fuel pressure regulator seal, oil change, UC-9 flush and turbo inspection. Turbo is in excellent. All the work performed was at a large local dealership and is guaranteed. I have all of the receipts. The tires are in great shape maybe 75-80 % (Nitto Terra Graplers - 325-65-18) The wheels are in excellent shape as well. The Excursion rides and drives great - No Vibration or drifting - Stops straight under heavy braking and is not too rough - Actually rides well for such a beast. The transmission shifts perfectly and when i had the vehicle serviced - there were no issues. The windows are professionally tinted all around and the interior leather has held up well - no rips - just gentle use. The Excursion has 115557 miles on the clock which is rather low for a 9 year old Diesel or any Diesel for that matter - that's approximately 12000 miles a year. We're not desperate to sell at all- this isn't a fire sale nor are we dying for a few bucks - but my work now provides me with a company vehicle and that would make four vehicles to park and we just don't have space at the house - So the big girl has to go. Email me with any questions - i'll get back to you as soon as possible. I can take additional pictures if you need specific areas. But I have tried to show as much as possible, but can accommodate requests as best I can. This is a serious sale for a serious safe and clean vehicle. There is a small loan on the Excursion, however, for the sake of a quick and clean sale, I'm willing to pay off the note prior to any sale for ease of transfer IF AND ONLY IF A DEAL IS MADE and the funds are good and the transaction is 95% done. All funds must clear my bank before release is to take place - No shipping, no possession by anyone before funds clear through our bank and are unavailable for reverse wire return, etc. Cash is good as well. I have sold and purchased on EBAY for @ 15 years- All of my info is upfront and nothing exists in any gray areas, so i expect the same from the buyer. \ Hate to be a hard A**, but it only takes a few jerks to load up on caution. Thanks for looking - email me for further details. Good Luck

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs

Wed, Nov 29 2017

BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost loses big power on 87 octane

Mon, Jan 5 2015

The 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder is a pretty potent package on paper. With 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque, it boasts better performance numbers than the 3.7-liter V6, but with better fuel economy as an added benefit. However, if you're in the market for one of these boosted 'Stangs, you should probably keep in mind that it really prefers to gulp premium, 93-octane fuel. It can drink 87-octane swill in a pinch, but you're going to find significantly less power underfoot when pulling away. While it's not shocking that the ponies are dialed back with a lower grade of gasoline, an alleged page from a Ford training manual obtained by Mustang 6G purports to show just how much power is lost, though. According to this document, the 2.3-liter EcoBoost makes 275 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque when running on lower octane fuel. That's a substantial reduction of about 11.3 percent compared to when the engine drinks 93 octane. Interestingly, according to Mustang 6G, that finding was a bit better than expected, because a Ford engineer reportedly said power would be down about 13 percent without altering peak torque. In speaking with Autoblog, Paul Seredynski of Ford powertrain communications, objected to part of this document. While he couldn't confirm the specific losses listed for the Mustang EcoBoost, "torque remains unchanged" with lower octane gasoline, Seredynski said. He speculated this training manual page was "possibly from before the engine was certified" and therefore showed incorrect figures. Serendynski did confirm that the automaker recommends using 93 octane, and like all modern engines, the software adapts if it's lower. "Peak power would be reduced" by using a lesser grade, he confirmed.

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven

Wed, Feb 8 2023

POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods.  However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows.  Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS.  Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence.  Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino  with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
