Selling my 1997 F 250 Ford truck, clean truck, only 126,000 miles, the truck looks fairly stock, but has been nicely modified. Mostly I was going for creature comfort, a smoother ride on a 3/4 ton truck. Some sort of ride height adjustment, The front leaf springs tend to wear out quickly with the weight of the diesel and transfer case over them. Truck was on second set and could use help before I started, Note: the dana 50 is reliant on springs for caster and camber wheel alignment. It works good on F-150 with coil springs and a lighter motor. First the Twin I-Beam Dana 50 removed to make room for a straight axle Dana 60 Old School Front Axle w/king pins, Rebuilt before installation, new seals and universal joints and Warn heavy duty full turn manual locking 4X4 hubs (King-Pins Axle) , Much easier maintenance then( ball joints) and no caster and camber issues. The truck has new Skyjacker Soft-Ride leaf springs. To adjust the ride height Air-Bags were installed Front and Back. Fronts are 3" compressed to 9" fully expanded. Rated1300lbs each. Rear bags are 4" compressed and 13" fully expanded. The Front Rear has a Heavy-Duty Panhard Bar to control front stability along with 3/4 of a High Steering System, Note the Steering Link from Steering Box to Passenger side Steering Knuckle is Above the Leaf-spring. The drag-link is still below. Rear-end has Panhard Bar to keep it in True, along with Heavy Track Bars, All Adjustable Joints are Super-Pivot type, and all joints are greasable. Rear Brakes, rear parking brake cables, and brake cylinders and drums are new, and Painted. Front Brake Calipers and Pads are New the Rotors that where on dana 60 rear when purchased, where reused. All Brake Hoses and Lines are New, including the Rear Anti-Lock Brake Actuator. Both Fuel tanks are New. Frame has had rust removed, treated with por-15 Metal Ready and has been painted whit por-15 rust paint with a brush to make sure of good contact to metal. New Skyjacker Hydro 7000 Shocks all around along with Steering Stabilizer. The Air-Bag Preesure is Controled using Two Little-Larry's Manual Control Valves, Front and Back Controlled separately. (No electric two mess with). Control Valves are Mounted in Dash with a Two- Needle Gauge just above. 2 needles in one gauge. Air suspension mainly for when truck is loaded or when pulling camper or car hauler. Air Pressure for the system comes from a New Compressor and Two- gallon tank in the Bed Tool-Box. Power, I wanted to open up flow of the stock motor mostly, K&N Filter and a 4" Gale Banks ( Monster)Stainless exhaust would help with that, 3" from Turbo to Cat. 4" through Monster Muffler to a 5" Polished Exhaust Tip. Intercooler has been Added to help in Power, some parts used are Banks and some are a Kit for a Mustang intercooler, works Great! All Piping 3" Polished and the 4" Intercooler is Polished also. Gale Banks Power-Chip is Installed on Factory Computer, along with the Banks Trans-Commander is installed for nice Trans Shifts. Always plenty of Power, never any Nasty Black Smoke. All Banks Gauges Installed to monitor Engine Exhaust and Transmission Temps, along with a Turbo Boost Pressure Gauge, mounted on A-Pillar and has Switch to turn off gauge lights if not needed. Truck moves out nicely, 4:10 gear ratio in rears work good with the bigger tires. Interior: New 180 Watt per-channel JVC sat ready Stereo has been installed along with Sony Explode Speakers front and back all installed behind factory speaker Grills to keep clean looking. Has a USB port in front for I-pod or other Music Storage Device. I have owned truck for about 5 years, I have put about 25,000 miles on truck and it has never given me any problems, even starts right up in the winter, New Starter installed also. Truck has a few character marks (dents) on it , dent on extended cab section drivers side, top of bedside on drivers side dent and some surface rust starting on passenger door behind trim on door. Truck was Zebart Treated when it was new, they drill holes in the body and spray in rust prevention coating, and has kept the body in very good condition. The Mickey Thomson Rims have been treated with Shark Hide, seems to be keeping rims very shinny, should be good for life, (front and back of rim).Stock Aluminum Factory Rims/ Hub Caps are available for truck, they have New 10 ply tires mounted on them, for the High Boy look. Either rims and tires go with truck, both sets for additional fee. Truck has never been used for heavy pulling, I put a trailer hitch receiver on it when I bought it with a 100,000 miles on it. Never had one Before, I pulled a light weight 4-wheeler trailer once in a while. The trucks undercarriage makes no noise, no squeaks, no rattles, tight ! The cab is very tight, no air leaks or wind noise. Thanks for looking, selling to continue working on other projects, My # 301-876-1007 questions about truck, thanks Hewey.

Ford To Unveil Solar Hybrid Concept Car At CES
Thu, Jan 2 2014Ford plans to unveil at this month's International CES gadget show a solar-powered concept car that offers the same performance as a plug-in hybrid but without the need for a plug. The C-Max Solar Energi Concept car uses a gasoline engine combined with a gizmo that acts like a magnifying glass to concentrate the sun's rays on the vehicle's roof-mounted solar panels. The automaker says the vehicle's estimated combined city-highway mileage is 100 miles (160 kilometers) per gallon. The U.S. auto maker says that by using solar power instead of an electric plug, a typical owner will reduce their annual greenhouse gas emissions by four metric tons. The company says it sold about 85,000 hybrid or electric vehicles in 2013, including 6,300 units of its C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid. The sun-ray concentrator was developed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and uses what is known as a Fresnel lens, which concentrates light but can be made thinner than a conventional lens. A full day of sunshine is equivalent to a four-hour battery charge, or 8 kilowatts, Ford says. On a full charge, it should have a range of 620 miles (997 kilometers), the same as the C-Max Energi. The concept car also comes with a plug-in port for standard electric charging. Ford says that 75 percent of all trips made by an average driver could be powered by the sun. After showing off the concept car at the convention in Las Vegas Jan. 7-10, Ford Motor Co. says that it will test the vehicle with institute researchers to determine if it's feasible for mass production.

Ford opens the doors on its Swedish rally skunkworks
Fri, 19 Sep 2014It's always amazing to see how different kinds of racecars are made. Formula One racers are often constructed in modern architectural marvels that hint at some of the cutting-edge technology going into the racing. Conversely, rallying is all about sliding around on a varied course as fast as possible, but it often leaves a vehicle caked in mud. So it makes some sense Olsbergs MSE, or simply (OMSE) rally car shop in Nynashamn, Sweden, shows technological sophistication in a more down-to-earth setting. It builds Ford Fiesta ST racers for Global Rallycross there, and this new video gives viewers a tour through the work.
Former rally driver Andreas Eriksson runs OMSE. These days instead of racing, he and the company's 46 employees are building Ford racers from scratch. A ton of work goes into constructing each one, and according to Eriksson, it takes 400 hours to complete each body. At times, things are so busy that some of the technicians live in the shop in apartments that are on premises. There's even a restaurant to keep them fed. Sadly the dyno room is empty during this visit, though.
By the time OMSE is done, a rallycross car might resemble a Fiesta ST on the outside, but as you see in the video, it's a completely different beast underneath. Check out the work it takes to build one of them, and scroll down to read more about it in the official release.
3dCarbon now offering body kit for Ford Fusion
Tue, 01 Oct 2013A factory-backed body kit by 3dCarbon is now available to Ford Fusion owners who want their car to stand out from the crowd while not being too flashy. The body kit adds a more aggressive front spoiler, side skirts, rear body trim and spoiler that are, in fact, integrated quite nicely into the Fusion's already-comely styling, just as 3dCarbon claims. All Fusions with the kit also receive dual exhaust ports with the stainless-steel exhaust surrounds usually reserved for the Titanium package Fusion EcoBoost models.
A nice detail of 3dCarbon's injection-molded urethane body kit is that it has undergone crash testing to certify that it can withstand crashes up to five miles per hour. Because of this, the kit is warrantied by 3dCarbon for five years or 50,000 miles, much like Ford's warranty on its own parts. In fact, the kit is available through participating Ford dealers and can be financed through Ford Motor Credit. Buyers can purchase the kit - pre-painted or unpainted - and install it themselves, or it can be purchased with a new Ford Fusion and installed at the dealer, pre-painted to factory specifications. Of course, it can also be ordered directly from the source. Take a look at the press release below for more detailed information on the body kit, and let us know what you think of it in Comments.
