Selling an absolutely beautiful 2-owner 2008 f250 105 year Harley Davidson Anniversary Edition 4x4 with the 6.4
powerstroke diesel with over $30,000 in upgrades, on top of the nearly $20,000 in options as ordered from factory.
Has everything - moon roof, heated seats, supplemental heat, electric rear window, upfitter switches, upgraded
alternators, tow hitch and tow command, electronic adjustable pedals, lighted running boards, electric telescoping
tow mirrors, etc etc. Black leather and bronze two-toned factory interior, with chrome Harley badges proudly
displayed on fenders, tailgate, wheels, center console, floor mats, and every seat! I purchased truck bone stock as
a fully-loaded 1-owner vehicle at 91k miles. I upgraded everything in small steps since purchased to make the
1-off beauty it is today. Truck resides in New Mexico and has never seen salt.

A few of the most significant drivetrain mods below :

Elite Diesel 75/59 vgt turbos

EGR Delete (No DPF fluid required on this truck either)

Full MBRP 4” stainless exhaust (single 5” stainless tip)

ARP Headstuds/ new FORD gaskets. Heads were magnafluxed, ported, and decked flat before install

Airdog II fuel system

Replaced HPFP/8 new FoMoCo injectors/all new fuel lines (known weak point of 6.4's , replaced it all at 120k).

RCD chromoly pushrods/rockers and upgraded valve springs

RCD stainless up-pipes

RCD stainless exhaust manifolds (custom fabbed 304ss, not repurposed 6.0 units)

RCD ported fuel rails

No Limit Crankcase vent relocation kit

No Limit intake and filter assembly (K&N,AFE/S&B have nothing on this bad boy...required to satisfy 75/59 airflow
requirements)

No Limit stainless intercooler pipes with bungs for water/meth injection or additional monitoring.

SCT with No-Limit tuning, spartan dashdaq used for constant monitoring of gauges.

-Spartan still has original tunes, plus all RCD tunes up to 575. New owner could sell after purchase if you
wanted different gauges. I just unmarried Spartan and kept it for gauges instead of spending more on Edge CTS to do
the same thing.

Transmission was completely built with billet input/output shafts, upgraded forks and clutches

RCD billet torque converter



More things I'm forgetting, but this is most of the bigger upgrades. As I mentioned, done in small steps over the
years, without abusing or overpowering anything. EGR delete/exhaust/Spartan tuner/AFE intake was 1st, then upper
engine upgrades (installed a RCD 71mm atmo at the the time), then transmission, fuel, and finally the larger turbos
and the custom plumbing to satisfy monster turbos. Transmission has about 6k miles since rebuild, new turbos less
than 2k. Mechanically the truck is nearly new, with no issues. Brakes work great, steering is tight and straight.
A/C ice cold.

Replaced both batteries with new gel units in past 6 months. Quality 50" dual row light bar with SoCal super
trucks mount. Spots in center, flood lights on outside. Way too bright for road use, but lights up a boat dock or
campground at night! Meticulously maintained with Rotella t6 every 3k since I purchased, fuel filters every other
oil change and airdog 2 drained every week. 95+% 20” Cooper tires. 5% Window tint on everything but windshield.
Kenwood touchscreen DVD player with Garmin navigation. Had Line-x platinum bed-liner sprayed week I purchased.
Pictures accurately depict beauty and condition of this truck. I’ve tried to include high-quality photos from all
angles so you can zoom in on any part of the truck and inspect, no surprises here. Have more pictures I couldn't
upload, please contact me if you'd like additional pictures, or a walk-around video. At 8 years old, there’s a
few minor scuffs/scratches on interior/exterior as to be expected but nothing major, and this baby gets compliments
every single time it’s driven. The largest cosmetic fault that warrants mention is a small tear in the drivers
seat, approximately 1” on the seam where you enter and exit. It’s been that way since I purchased 30k + miles
ago and hasn’t grown, but I kept a seat cover on majority of the time. Lumbar support knob is off in pictures,
forgot to reinstall after removing seat cover, will be on at time of sale. Broke a clip on tailgate moulding, new
one is on order and will be installed before sale. All steering wheel controls work with the upgraded Kenwood
stereo. Weathertech formed floor mats keep carpet clean. I also have the factory carpet Harley floormats out of the
truck. Original owners manual/window sticker will be included. Two factory Harley keys, as well as keyless entry
door code.

Bought a new Platinum F250, and the Harley truck keeps getting upgrades, driven a few hundred miles, and stuck back
in storage. Truck was built to tow and EGT’s stay LOW with the monster turbos and plumbing, perfect tow rig for
your Harley trailer or toyhauler loaded down with friends and bikes on the way to Sturgis! Never had a 5th
wheel/gooseneck hitch installed. Love the truck, but I'm out of things to tinker with on it and it just doesn't get
driven enough to justify paying storage on it for the few thousand miles it’s been driven past few years (garage
is full).

Must be able to satisfactorily prove ability to pay for this truck before test drives will be entertained. I will
give rides to anyone interested, but you must have cash in hand or bank on the line before I’m handing over the
keys. This truck is far from stock, and throttle response and power can take inexperienced drivers by surprise into
dangerous territory quick until your used to the vehicle. For example, shortly after installing new 75/59 turbos,
hit a 2 block stretch of highway where speed is reduced to 45, before going back to 60 mph. I tapped brakes coming
into town, coasted 2 blocks, and just tapped “resume” on cruise control with foot off accelerator to get back
to 60 mph. The truck spooled up and broke loose on dry pavement @ 45 mph without touching accelerator. That was on
“hot street”. I’ve never loaded the full on race tune. Also have a custom tow tune built for this trucks
upgrades on SCT. Truck is a lot more contained on regular “street” without any excess smoke (where it’s
stayed since above excitement) but it’s still night and day difference to any slightly modified diesel. Too much
invested in this truck to let someone wrap it around a tree or hit ditches before payment is received. My
apologies, but this truck is a collector’s investment and has been looked at that way since purchase. It
wouldn’t be wise on my end to give keys to every kid who wants to see if it will outrun his buddies
duramax/cummins/vette/etc and wreck my investment. Im sure it will, you buy it, you can race it if that’s your
thing. That hasn’t been my intentions for building this truck, and it won’t be beat so long as the title is in
my name. Every upgrade done has been to ensure factory weak points were corrected, and to maximize towing
potential, longevity, and comfort for the long haul.

Deposit required within 48 hrs of winning bid. Full payment required within 7 days. If paying by check please be
aware it may be held for UP TO 7 days at my banks discretion to verify authenticity. If you bank with a larger
institution, it will go quickly, but I feel more comfortable with this disclaimer in case buyer is using a small,
non-affiliated local bank. Again, my apologies, but I’ve been burned by too many scammers on eBay. Vehicle is
located in Carlsbad NM. Buyer is responsible for shipping and pick-up, shipping not included in auction. May be
able to deliver depending on location and compensation, contact me before auction ends if you require this service.
Please ask any and all questions you may have before auction ends, thank you.

Verizon buys Telogis in connected vehicle market push

Wed, Jun 22 2016

(Note/disclaimer: We are owned by Verizon, by way of AOL. This gives us no inside track whatsoever when it comes to news.) With a lot of tech companies and automakers staking their claims in the connected car space, now there are signs that others are looking to move in, too. Today, telecoms giant Verizon announced that it is acquiring Telogis, a California-based company that develops cloud-based solutions for mobile workforces, and specifically telematics, compliance and navigation software used by Ford, Volvo, GM and other car companies, as well as Apple and AT&T. Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, although we'll try to find out. Considering that Verizon in 2015 reported full-year revenues of $131.6 billion, the price would have to be very high to be considered "material" and may not be made public for some time, if ever. Telogis in its time as a startup raised a substantial amount of money, just over $126 million in all, including $93 million in 2013, supposedly ahead of an IPO, all from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Back in 2013 when KPCB made its investment (which was the first from a VC firm in the company), Telogis told TechCrunch it was profitable and forecasting revenues of $100 million annually for the year. It's not clear what size those revenues are now, but if it was on the same growth trajectory as before the funding, sales would be around $150 million annually, with profitability, at the moment. Other investors include some very notable strategics: the investment arm of General Motors, and Fontinalis Partners, which also invests in Lyft and was co-founded by Bill Ford, the executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company. Before the acquisition, Verizon actually had a business in fleet management and telematics; in fact, the two companies competed against each other for business from the trucking and other industries. Verizon Telematics, as the business is called, is active in 40 countries. But in a way, Verizon buying Telogis is a sign that the latter may have proved to be the more superior, and the one with the key customer deals.

Junkyard Gem: 1971 Mercury Comet 2-Door Sedan

Sat, Sep 10 2022

When Ford introduced the original Maverick for the 1970 model year, Dearborn tradition required that a Mercury-badged version be created. That car ended up being the Comet, built from the 1971 through 1977 model years. Here's one of those first-year Comets in rough but recognizable condition, found in a Denver self-service yard not long ago. The Comet name had spent the 1960s affixed to the flanks of Mercurized Ford Falcons (1960-1965) and Fairlanes (1966-1969). Since the Maverick was the successor of the Falcon — sales of which went into an irrecoverable downward spiral once its sportier Mustang first cousin hit the streets — it made sense to move the Comet name over to the Mercury version. Nearly every American Mercury model ever sold was a U.S.-market Ford model with a different name and some gingerbread slapped on. Notable exceptions to this tradition include the 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar (mechanically based on the Contour but with a unique body) and the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri (an Australian-built mashup of Mazda components borrowed from the Ford Laser). The Comet was by far the cheapest Mercury model available in 1971, though it was considered more prestigious than its Maverick counterpart. The price tag on the '71 Comet two-door sedan started at $2,217 (about $16,505 in 2022 dollars), while the '71 Maverick two-door sedan cost $2,175 ($16,193 today). Meanwhile, AMC would sell you a new Hornet two-door sedan for one dollar less than a Maverick, Chevrolet had the Nova coupe for a dollar more than the Maverick, and Plymouth offered the Valiant Duster for $2,313 ($17,220 now). Toyota had a Maverick competitor as well that year, with the Corona at $2,150 for the sedan and $2,310 for the coupe. Having driven every one of the aforementioned models, I'd take the Duster if I went back in time and had to choose one (as a 1969 Corona owner, I'm not a fan of the 1971 facelift, though the Corona's build quality beats the Duster's). The build sticker on this car tells us that it was built at the Kansas City Assembly Plant (where Transits and F-150s are made today) and sold through the Los Angeles district sales office (there was a DSO in Denver, so it's a near-certainty that this car didn't start out in Colorado). The paint started out as Bright Blue Metallic (it's neither bright nor metallic 51 years down the road) and the interior was done up in Medium Blue Cloth & Vinyl.

Bill Ford says carsharing helps Ford, EVs need to be clean

Mon, Sep 8 2014

To most people, Bill Ford is most famous for being the great-grandson of Henry Ford. But, as the executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, Ford has also been leading the company into greener and greener territory. At the morning plenary session for the 21st World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in Detroit today, Ford discussed a wide variety of topics, including connected cars (of course), plug-in vehicle and how Ford's collaboration with Zipcar came about because of he liked what the Zipcar CEO was excited about getting cars off the road. Given that the conference has a big focus on communication between cars this year, it's no surprise that Ford talked about his company's work on that front. He's looking at the long term, though, and says that despite announcements like the one General Motors made yesterday about Super Cruise, when fully autonomous vehicles get here, it won't be headline news since the ground work is being laid by technologies coming to cars in bits and pieces now. In other words, your adaptive cruise control is getting ready for bigger and better things. "My fear is that we electrify the fleet and our impact is not what it could be." – Bill Ford On the zero-emission vehicle front, Ford said that while he's in favor of electric vehicles, "My fear is that we electrify the fleet and our impact is not what it could be." He was discussing the emissions reality of coal-powered electricity, and said that, "We've got to have a national discussion about what we want our grid to look like." As for the work that Ford is doing with Zipcar (which is just one of the many automaker carsharing operations out there today), Ford said that he first approached Zipcar CEO Scott Griffith after hearing Griffith talk at a green conference four or five years ago. Griffith was surprised, Ford said, because he had just given a talk about ways to reduce car ownership. "Did you hear my speech? I talked about taking cars off the road," Ford remembers Griffith saying. "Yeah, and what's going to happen without us," Ford responded. Today, the partnership allows Ford to get cars to people that have traditionally been "hard to reach," like college students on campuses. Ford's vehicles are currently available on 250 colleges campuses. Ford then spoke favorably about other challenges to the traditional car ownership model, like Lyft and Relay Rides. "Rather than being frightened by that, we need embrace it and help makes their companies better," he said.
