Highland, Indiana, United States
Up for sale is my baby, my 2003 Ford F-250 XLT. Powerstroke 7.3L (444cu in) and ZF-6 manual transmission. I purchased the truck from a dealership in Ohio, and over the last 4 years I have replaced the 8' bed with a new one off a 2009, replaced the cab corners and rockers, and have done the following engine/performance modifications:
MBRP Stainless 4" straight pipe exhaust with 5" tip Banks Ram-Air Intake New exhaust manifolds with bellowed up-pipes Diesel Site 203 degree thermostat Diesel Site Boost Fooler Diesel Site Wicked Wheel 2 Gale Banks Tune, set on Performance setting (+130HP) South Bend Dual Disc Clutch (650HP holding capacity) (part#SFDD3250-6) The wheels are Fuel Off-Road Throttle Series, wrapped in 275x65R20 (34" diameter) Nitto Terra Grappler Tires (60% tread) Python security system with remote start and GPS Kenwood DPX500BT head unit with BlueTooth and JL audio speakers all around AGR Saginaw Power Steering Pump conversion AMSOIL in the crankcase, differentials, transmission, transfer case, and power steering system JOBOX toolbox and Extang Fulltilt Toolbox Tonneau Cover Although 2003 model trucks should have the powdered metal connecting rods, the engine is manufactured from Canoas, Brazil (instead of Fort Wayne) and upon removal of the inspection cover revealed the rods having studs and nuts, instead of bolts (indicating forged design). The doors may need to be replaced in a couple of years, as there is noticeable rust forming in the bottom sections. Other than that, she is extremely solid given her age and that she is a daily driver. Truck is a loaded standard cab, with power windows, locks, and cruise control. She cruises down the highway without any rattles or vibrations at 85+ MPH. Buy her here, and drive her around the world if you would like. Very solid and fun to drive with plenty of power. If you have any questions please ask! |

Ford Mustang SVT caught looking fierce on the 'Ring
Tue, 15 Jul 2014The next-generation Ford Mustang SVT is one of the most anticipated performance cars of the moment. We've already seen it testing multiple times, but it has always been covered is some very heavy camouflage. However, Ford has just given us our best view yet of the new muscle car. According to our spy photographer, the Mustang was at the Nürburgring for high-speed testing, which meant that the Blue Oval had to remove most of the heavy obfuscation that the SVT has worn previously.
The stylish, more revealing camo makes picking out some of the more interesting details about the SVT rather easy. Starting from the front, there is the big hood scoop to feed cold air to its still mysterious engine. You can also immediately make out the model's new grille and lower front air dam. It has a vertical piece running from the bottom of the hood all the way to the ground. The aggressive styling almost gives the 'Stang the look of two fangs ready to bite down. The hood seam is even taped off here, which shows us its outline.
Around the side, it appears that the front and rear fenders are wider than stock, and the sills are certainly much larger. You can also just make out the SVT's bigger brakes behind its black wheels with a polished lip. Finally, at the rear, things appear mostly stock other than the diffuser that the exhaust outlets nestle into.
Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year
Fri, 11 Jan 2013With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.

Recharge Wrap-up: Atieva making EV with former Tesla talent, Holland lowers PHEV incentives
Wed, May 13 2015A reduction of tax incentives on company cars in Holland is expected to put the brakes on plug-in hybrid sales. Cars are taxed at an average of 25 percent, with plug-in hybrids taxed at just seven or 14 percent, depending on emissions. Taxes on PHEV company cars will increase to 14 and 21 percent. With company car leases making up a third of vehicle sales in 2014, the uptake on PHEVs "will likely go back to regular volumes," according to Volvo's Christiaan Krouwel. It could be a boon for battery electric cars, as their tax rate will remain at four percent for company cars. Read more at Automotive News Europe. Ford is testing cylinder deactivation in its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine. On-road prototype testing has shown improvements in fuel economy of as much as six percent. Ford engineers developed a system using a new dual mass flywheel, pendulum absorber, and tuned clutch disc to allow cylinder deactivation under a wider range of speed and engine loads with less NVH. "The highest priority in the development of new combustion engines for automotive applications is the ongoing reduction of fuel consumption," says Ford's Andreas Schamel, presenting Ford's findings to the Vienna Motor Symposium. Read more at Green Car Congress or in the press release from Ford. Atieva is building an EV with the help of numerous former Tesla employees. The Silicon Valley-based startup was founded in 2007 by a former Tesla vice president, and its roster includes 12 other former Tesla employees. Already well funded, Atieva is now looking to fill its ranks with more talent, with 32 engineering positions, two recruiter positions and other job openings posted at its website. As for the EV it is working on, Atieva says it is "redefining what a car can be, by building an iconic new vehicle from the ground up." Read more at Charged EVs. Testing shows that Joule ethanol, made from recycled CO2, meets standards for use in the US and Europe. In partnership with Audi, Joule has been working toward making its recycled CO2 fuels ready for commercialization. "We are pleased to achieve another critical step towards our planned near-term delivery of fuel-grade ethanol from recycled CO2," says Joule President and CEO Serge Tchuruk. "Using waste CO2 as a feedstock, our technology has the two-fold advantage of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and producing cost-competitive, drop-in fuels." Joule will use these test results to get government approval for the use of its ethanol in highway fuel.
