Grand Daddy of today's diesel monster trucks. 1984 F250 built to tow horse trailers by central coast horse breeder. They took the stock truck and installed 4.56 ratio rear gears and a Gear Vendors 22% overdrive (its controlled by the blue button on the shift lever) as well as an ATS non-wastegated turbo. They also put temperature senders in the oil pan and rear end as well as the GV OD and an extra one for engine water. And an Isspro tachometer. They then sold it to a guy in San Luis Obispo who used it to tow very large boats. I had the 4.56 rear-end swapped out for a 2.73 but still have the stump-puller gears that will go with the truck. I used it to haul a cab-over camper and liked to go way too fast up hills and ended up blowing a head gasket. By the time I got the engine rebuilt my kid hated camping so the truck has not been used much. I replaced the batteries and the fuel-return lines so it starts right up even after sitting for months. I keep the batteries floated with a solar charger. The fuel senders don't work and I suspect that the mileage is short 100K. The AC was converted to R134A with new hoses and a parallel flow condensor. It froze meat when it worked but the R134A leaked out during the engine rebuild. The truck lived at the beach for a while so there is some surface rust but nothing structural.
Its a monster that I don't need anymore.
Where is--As is. No warranties.

Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.
2015 Ford F-150 enters production
Wed, 12 Nov 2014Ford has given the F-150 a dramatic makeover for 2015, switching to an aluminum body that helps reduce weight by about 700 pounds. Because the truck is dramatically different, Ford also had to change the way it makes the F-150, so we went inside its sprawling factory in Dearborn, MI, this week to see the Blue Oval's new manufacturing techniques in action.
The company has added 850 jobs at the site and upgraded its stamping and tool and die facilities. The body shop is also modernized, and it has been fitted with 500 new robots that join the structures together. The first 2015 F-150 rolled off the line on Tuesday, and the trucks will begin arriving in dealerships in December. Get a closer look at the F-150's unique assembly process in our video.
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters
Sun, 28 Sep 2014The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.
