North Haven, Connecticut, United States

Up for auction is my Silver 2004 Ford Lightning. This is a single-owner, adult owned vehicle! I purchased this truck new from Mantilia Ford, West Haven CT.  It was fully dealer serviced for 3 years. This included oil changes every 3K miles, tire rotations, brakes and new rear shocks. After 3 years and 24,000 miles, I began taking care of oil changes and maintenance. All oil changes were done using Mobil 1, full-synthetic 5W-20 and a Ford Motorcraft or Amsoil filter. I have full service history available. Tires are 90-95% all around.

The truck has about $6500 in modifications. I wanted to build this truck exactly like it should have left the Ford plant. I have retained all original parts with the exception of the stock transmission pan and valve body. The modifications and original parts are included with the truck. 

This truck has never been to a track. It was placed on a dyno in August 2004. The truck made 360RWHP, 440RWTQ. I have always taken great care of this truck and it shows.  Please feel free to contact me for high resolution photos and additional information.  I have the original window sticker and SVT certificate of authenticity as well.  The tailgate was replaced due to a dealer denting the seam which could not be removed.  I still have the original tailgate as well.

NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.

Chrysler called out over lackluster Ram Runner by racer who helped develop it

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Fans of off-roading and desert blasting might recall that Chrysler offers an aftermarket conversion that can turn a Ram 1500 into a road-legal desert racer, called the Ram Runner. The kit, sold through Mopar, includes some significant suspension upgrades, body tweaks and a brawnier cat-back exhaust for the truck's 5.7-liter V8.
Considering all of this, comparisons with the almighty Ford F-150 SVT Raptor are common. Among the off-road community, that makes these two a sort of Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang for people that prefer driving on dirt. In the Race-Dezert forum, the discussion as to which truck was better was proceeding as normal - Ram fans said their piece and Ford fans said theirs. Then, a man named Kent Kroeker offered up his two cents.
See, Kroeker is a Baja racer, and the man that helped develop the Ram Runner. Despite his association with the truck, though, he had some less than kind words for Chrysler and the Ram Runner.
