I've owned this truck since 2009. It runs perfectly and is very comfortable to drive.

In 2010 I added a Volo Fuel enhancement computer to the truck giving it an extra 6 miles to the gallon. This truck will give you 20-22 miles per gallon. Also, a professionally built hydrogen generator is installed, but not turned on (the fuse is taken out which supplies its power). The acrylic casing on the steel plate container for the generator is cracked from water freezing in it. The truck runs perfectly with the generator switched off. A new steel plate container will cost about $40.00. Before my casing cracked, I was getting 24-27 miles per gallon with the hydrogen generator working its magic. That is unheard of gas mileage in any truck. If you've never heard of the benefits of a hydrogen generator, please look it up. They are completely safe and will save you tons of money at the gas pump. Again, the truck has been running perfectly fine with only the Volo Fuel Enhancement Chip and no hydrogen generator for the last year. You will get at least 20 miles to the gallon with 89 octane. I only use Mobil 1 fully synthetic oil, which has been changed every 5000 miles. I had a full service at the Elizabethtown, KY Ford dealership last year where I got all new plugs, plug wires and all fluids changed. The tires are practically brand new. I purchased them in June, 2013 (they are 60,000 mile tires with just over 4,000 miles on them). I only drive this truck when I need to go to town for something. I walk to work, so the truck hardly gets any miles put on it. It is a 2004 model with just over 133,160 miles. Last year, I had Autosound of Elizabethtown install a Remote Started on the truck. It works perfectly.
 

There is no deferred maintenance on my truck.  It is in perfect running condition all the way around.  No Rust.  There are several hairline scratches and some small scuff marks around the body, but the paint is in very good condition in my opinion.  No replacement of any transfer case or differential fluids.  I just had the front Left side wheel bearing replaced Nov, 2013.  Both front brakes were replaced and the rotors were redone Nov, 2013.  Replace Front Right Wheel Bearing on 5/5/11.  Brand New MAXX-65N Battery on 8/13/13.  Remanufactured Alternator (P8499) on 8/9/13.

The EFIE computer's website is: http://voloperformance.com/  There you can read about the FS2 HHO Chip that I installed.

The HHO Kit is from: http://www.alternativempg.com/  There you can read about the HHO Kit that I installed.  I purchased the Fuel Cell, Reservoir Tank, and Installation Kit.  I purchased an amp meter and installed it myself.  I am skilled in electronics and you can inspect the installation yourself and see that it is a quality job.  In order to work, first, a new Fuel Cell will have to be purchased ($69.00 now on their website).  To run the unit, distilled water and either sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide (KOH) needs to be used.  I used only KOH which is a much better catalyst and it is clean.  I did not add alcohol to the fluid last season and the water in the fuel cell froze and cracked the acrylic.  I was getting 24 mpg with 89 test and 26 mpg with 93.

The only issue that I have with the truck is that sometimes the gear lever sticks in park and you have to shut off the truck, put it in neutral, restart it and put in gear. It works every time. It's not a transmission issue. I had the dealership look at it and they said that the wiring harness for the remote starter (which runs up the steering wheel wire harness) was pulling on the wire for the lever release mechanism. It only affects it sometimes, not all the time, and it does not impede your ability to start the truck. The interior of the truck is in very good condition, with normal seat wear. The arm rest cover is starting to peel back as you can see in my pictures. Otherwise, the interior is very nice. The truck is a gem and runs perfectly. Please call me and set up a time to come and take a test drive. The Kelly Blue Book for this car in the condition that it is in is $9600-$9900.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014



$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.

2020 Ford Escape hybrids vs other crossover fuel sippers: How they compare on paper

Wed, Apr 3 2019

Along with a new generation of Escape, Ford also reintroduced the world to the 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid. And if that weren't enough, Ford is adding a plug-in hybrid version. This is a sign of the times: people are more crossover crazy than ever, but are also seeking ways to use less fuel, whether it's for environmental or purely money-motivated reasons. The Ford hybrids aren't the only fuel-efficient compact crossovers on the market. They will be going head-to-head with conventional hybrids including the 2019 Kia Niro, 2019 Nissan Rogue Hybrid and 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. There are other plug-in hybrids including the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek PHEV, 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and the plug-in version of the 2019 Kia Niro. There are even a couple diesels in the form of the 2019 Chevy Equinox and 2019 GMC Terrain. So we've rounded up the details on all these crossovers to see who leads and lags in criteria such as power, fuel efficiency, space and price. Check out all their details below. 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid View 68 Photos How do their engines and fuel economy compare? Conventional Hybrids and Diesels Let's face it, if you're buying one of these crossovers, one of the things that matters most to you is just how frugal with fuel they are. We'll start off with the conventional hybrids and diesels, and the clear victor is the Kia Niro, which in base FE trim, manages to hit 50 mpg combined. This is thanks to it sharing its powertrain with the Hyundai Ioniq, the Hyundai equivalent of the Toyota Prius. Buyers should take note that only the FE returns such high fuel economy. The LX and EX drop to 49 mpg, and the S Touring and Touring get 43. Even then, the least efficient Niro is the most efficient of the normal hybrids and diesels. It is nearly the least powerful, though, with 139 horsepower. Just behind it is the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. It delivers 40 mpg combined, and it has an ace up its sleeve: it comes standard with all-wheel drive. Every other vehicle in this powertrain group has front drive standard, and the Niro isn't available with all-wheel drive at all. If that weren't enough, the RAV4 Hybrid also boasts the most power at 219 horses. While we can't say anything about Escape Hybrid fuel economy, we do know that it will make 198 horsepower, which is close to the class-leading RAV4. The least powerful of these is the Equinox and Terrain, and they return the worst fuel economy at 32 mpg.

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
