Time to let my baby go, bought a new truck. I have spent much money on her and I hope she'll find a new owner that appreciates her as much as I do.


That being said, here is the work I've done.

Unlimited Diesel Performance Stage 1 Injectors
Valve cover gasket/inector harnesses replaced at injector install, new Motorcraft glow plugs.
TS style 6 position tuner with custom tune by Gearhead Automotive Performance
Stealth SRP1 HPOP. (This is the high pressure oil pump that provides the oil to power the injectors) If you were to add an electric fuel system it would be ready for stage 2 injectors.
MBRP 4" Turbo back exhaust with downpipe and stainless tip. The firewall was clearanced properly so no annoying exhaust rattles.
Pillar gauges include EGT, Trans temp, Boost (Speaking of boost she makes 40PSI on the all out tune!)
I haven't any idea about the Trans, I bought the truck in 09 and it has shifted firmly and has given me no problems so I'm assuming the previous owner may have had it built.
Homemade NAPA 6637 intake

On to the truck.

It's in better condition than most at this mileage. I'll start with the bad first. 

There is a golf ball size dent in the rear quarter that has been there since I bought the truck
There is a thin scratch starting on the left front quarter and ending on the left front door. It's not noticable at about 10 feet but it's there, an unfortunate blizzard accident.
The right rear quarter is just now starting to show a small bubble of rust behind the paint, it's unfortunately common in these trucks. If you were to have it fixed now it may not be as bad as waiting to do it when it gets worse.
There is no other rust on the truck. 
There is a VERY small crack on the dash but not like others you will see in these trucks. About 1/2". Thanks to some dumb B*$#h who thought my dash was a foot rest.

Now for the good.

4" Rough Country lift installed last year about 5000 miles ago (I've only put about 30,000 on the truck since I bought it)
315/75/16 Pro-Comp extreme all terrain tires same mileage as lift.
The lift was professionally installed, the alignment is right, no tire cupping, no rattles/shakes. Drives very nicely.
Jensen flip out head unit, rear camera on the tag bracket (great for hooking up to your boat trailer!!!!)
Kicker L5 sub behind rear seat with 900w monoblock amp. Factory door speakers.
2 Way remote start
Truck is XLT with a vinyl floor so no nasty, worn, stained carpet here.
Seats are in good condition, some wear on drivers seat. They now have custom canvas seat covers that match the interior.
There has been a bedliner in the truck since I bought it so I have no clue what shape the bed is in. The truck had a cap on it so I'm willing to bed it's pretty good.
The cap is included with the truck, it is a Jeraco, color painted to match with a raised roof. If you don't want it, you don't have to take it.
4X4 works perfectly.
I have regularly serviced, has had new Serpentine belt, rear axle oil change with synthetic in the last 5k
Truck will be freshly serviced and detailed prior to delivery to new owner. 
Ice cold A/C 

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Please don't call asking if I'm willing to trade this or that, I have too much as it is.

It is raining today, so I'm posting mostly older pictures but the truck is still in that condition. I'll post more when this storm clears up.

Serious buyers *ONLY* may contact me at 410-463-1108

Please don't bid with no feedback. I will also be listing locally so I have the right to end the auction at any time.

2015 Ford Edge First Drive [w/videos]

Thu, Mar 12 2015

We're routinely told that it's not easy being the middle child. The oldest sibling will always outshine the rest, while the youngest is routinely doted upon. The middle child, meanwhile, is seemingly never able to measure up. You know the drill: Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! But that hasn't really been the case for Ford's mid-kid crossover, the Edge. Sandwiched between its highly successful big brother, the Explorer, and the stylish younger brother, the Escape, the Edge has had plenty of its own bragging rights over the years. It's where the Blue Oval chose to first launch MyFord Touch in 2011, and was one of the company's first applications of an EcoBoost engine in a CUV. For 2015, Ford has given the Edge a brand-new outfit, complete with stand-out sheetmetal and a revamped 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine fitted with a twin-scroll turbocharger and direct-injection. The result is a vehicle that truly stands out from its compact and fullsize siblings while promising to retain Ford's edge in the midsize CUV market. Where many of Ford's cars have opted for a slim, Aston Martin-like grille, the new Edge's face is big and bold. It's around back, however, where the Edge really comes up with its own personality. The slimmer D-pillar forms the edges of a more aggressively raked rear window. It's difficult to spot in pictures, but the result is a decidedly more assertive profile than the outgoing CUV. Beyond that, the rear is home to Fusion-inspired taillights, although unlike Ford's popular midsize sedan, they're joined together by a vehicle-spanning lighting element that prominently features a Ford badge at its center. Ford's work on the Edge's interior is less progressive, though. The owner of a 2014 model wouldn't feel the least bit out of place climbing behind the wheel of a 2015, as it features Ford's same reconfigurable instrument cluster, and a center stack that's been crowned by the latest (and final) edition of MyFord Touch. Meanwhile, more JD Power Initial Quality Study-friendly buttons have replaced the obstinate and unintuitive touch-capacitive controls. The conservative take on the interior design belies the big improvements in material quality. The leather inserts in the doors are more heavily padded and the plastics are far softer. It's a similar story throughout the cabin, where owners will notice softer dash plastics and generally richer materials.

NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

Ford 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.

Here are the best-selling cars and trucks from January 2015

Every month, Autoblog slogs through all the sales figures reported by automakers that do business in the United States, and, after a little bit of sorting, we put it into an easy-to-read chart in an attempt to make it as easy as possible to follow the ins and outs of sales and shipments. But that only covers the brands themselves, not the individual models they sell. And we think you'd all be interested in knowing which vehicles beat their rivals in sales from month to month, so we've put together this handy gallery to keep you in the know. While the leader of the pack may not come as much of a surprise, the order that the top ten finishes in changes frequently – due to automaker deals, the price of gas, etc. – and we've included some statistics to help you see how their current performance stacks up to month's past.
