*lifted* 1997 F150 Supercab *rebuilt Engine And Trans* One Of A Kind! on 2040-cars
Winchester, Virginia, United States
I'm selling my 1997 Ford F150. You will never find another truck in such amazing shape with the aftermarket parts this one has. It's completely rust free and has lots of aftermarket parts. See list below.
Good stuff: 1997 Ford F150 XLT SuperCab 5.4L V8 Automatic transmission Factory sunroof (no leaks) 4x4 Power everything Keyless entry Rebuilt engine with only 40,000mi Rebuilt transmission with only 40,000mi Rebuilt rear axle with less than 5,000mi 6" Fabtech lift 35" A/T tires on 16" black rims Axles regeared to 4.10 ratio Custom high flow true cold air intake (this actually connects to a hole in the fender to draw pure cold air) Electric fan conversion using a pair of Hayden fans with a Hayden controller Full custom true dual straight pipe exhaust Full aftermarket sound system with Pioneer head unit, hands free hookup, iPhone hookup, auxiliary hookup and speakers Cobra CB radio Billet grill Trailer brake controller Aftermarket carpet Brand new low-profile toolbox in bed Plastic bedliner Trailer hitch with full wiring Bad: Check engine light is on. I checked it and the only code showing is "Bank 2 rich". That means the passenger side upper O2 sensor needs replaced. About $20 for the part and ten minutes with a wrench has it in. It's dirty. I live down a gravel road, so it's covered in gravel dust. It's also got gear oil splattered on the underside of the bed from before the rebuild was done. I'm not using it anymore, so I don't feel like putting the effort into cleaning it. All in all, this is an extremely reliable and powerful truck with no rust, no leaks, and lots of aftermarket goodies. I just got a new truck. So, I don't need it anymore. You won't be disappointed in this one. |

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.
2015 Ford F-150 pricing announced, aluminum-bodied truck up just $395
Mon, 28 Jul 2014The eagerly anticipated Ford F-150 has had its 2015 pricing announced, adding only a small amount to the pickup's total cost, despite its weight-saving aluminum body. The XL and XLT entry level models only see a $395 boost over the heavier, current-generation, 2014 truck.
The XL starts at $26,615 while the XLT rings up at $31,890. The increase for Lariat is up a similarly negligible $895, to $39,880. Going up the ladder, meanwhile, the leather-intensive King Ranch sees the biggest jump of the F-150 family, with prices increasing $3,515, to $49,460. Finally, picking up the top-end Platinum trim will cost an extra $3,055, with prices starting at $52,155.
The higher prices are being blamed not only on the aluminum bodies, which trim up to 700 pounds of body fat, but on increased levels of standard equipment. While we were expecting a price hike, the fact that the 2015 F-150's volume trims - Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Reuters that the XL and XLT alone cover 70 percent of F-150 sales - have had less than a $400 increase is hugely impressive.
