Up for sale is my 2002 Ford F-350 Super Duty XLT 4X4 Longbed. I have owned this truck for about 9 years. I am the second owner of this truck. This is one of the cleanest and by far the nicest 7.3 Powerstrokes out there. When I bought the truck it was completely stock and original. The truck used to be white in color and after owning the truck for about 6 years I wanted to change it up a bit. Just so everyone knows, I did not paint the truck because it was wrecked or damaged. I just wanted to paint it. The truck has no body work done to it except a few little rock chips or door dings that I repaired during the process. I own a body shop and tore the truck down and repainted it about two years ago. With that being said there were no short cuts taken and no cheap materials were used on my truck. Only the best of the best were used. Everything was completely disassembled, refinished and done right then put back together. Under the hood and the door jambs are just as nice as the outside. The finish on the truck is a basecoat/clearcoat show quality finish. The base coat is House of Kolors Rootbeer candy with Brandywine & Tangerine candy mixed in. It is a really cool color because it changes about 5 different colors depending on the lighting and time of day. I have the mixing ratio that I mixed incase of the event of a bump up or scratch that ever needed to be repaired. I actually also have about 3/4 of gallon left over that I kept. The clear coat on the truck is a PPG high solids clear that has an amazing shine. The truck has been sanded and buffed to a really nice finish. This truck has a 4" Rough Country lift on it with 35/13.50/18 Mickey Thompson ATZ's that are in good shape and 18X10 MB Motoring Wheels. The Wheels are actually one of a kind as well because I had them powder coated flat black and a machine shop drilled out the circles around the wheel lip for a more custom look. The wheels balance out perfect with only normal amount of weights on them. If you look in the picture I had a custom gas lid door powder coated the same color to match the wheels. Every light on the truck is the factory ford lights except the headlights and have been tinted using PPG Clearcoat and black candy basecoat. The lights are just as slick as the truck and can be polished just like a regular finish. The front and rear bumpers have been powder coated the same color as the wheels and gas lid door and have no dents or scratches anywhere. The rear bumper is a 6" drop bumper and has a great aggressive look. The truck has a steel cowl hood and if you look closely in the picture you can see barbed wire running down the cowl of the hood. I didn't have the best light (it was getting dark) for the barbed wire to show but in good sunlight it shows up really good. I also painted barbed wire around the emblem on the tailgate. The emblem on the tail gate has been custom painted with the letters "SC" which stands for "Southern Comfort" which is what I named the truck as you can see on the bedsides in the pictures. All of the stencil work is actually paint on this truck, there are no stickers or decals anywhere. Every piece of plastic trim including the mirrors, cowl panel, bumper plastic and bed rail caps on the truck have been refinished with SEM's Hot Rod Black (Not spray paint) for that perfect trim color. All of the trim looks brand new like it just rolled off the showroom floor. The grille of the truck is also a one of a kind grille, I painted the outer shell the same SEM's Hot Rod Black and I left the center section chrome. The headlights in the truck are new 2005-2007 Super Duty Harley Davidson lights. All of the emblems on the truck are new 2005-2007 Ford F-350 Super Duty Emblems. The mirrors on the truck are 2005-2007 Super Duty power & heated mirrors. I removed the 7.3 diesel emblems on the door for a smoother look. The truck has a Rhino Liner in the bed and a turn-over gooseneck hitch in the bed. The truck has a Clarion touchscreen CD/DVD/Navigation that cost me about $600 and is a very nice unit. The door speakers are JL Audio. The windows have been tinted and to be honest I am not sure what percentage they are but they look good with the color of the truck. The only flaw I know of is the tent on the back glass is barely starting to wrinkle at the bottom where the sliding bank glass slides, but you can't see it from the outside of the truck

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers

Sun, Mar 29 2015

As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.

2014 Ford Fiesta ST

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

I'm not overly inclined to professional jealousy, as a rule. Sure, I go a bit green around the eyes when Ramsey draws the 911 GT3 trip to Weissach, Harley is tapped-in to drive a completely stunning Porsche 911 by Singer, or, you know, Drew Phillips gets to shoot a Lamborghini Veneno in the middle of a desert like some sort of sheik. I hate you guys...
Honestly though, one of the new car events that dug me the most, was when our Steven J. Ewing got to fling the Ford Fiesta ST around some hot corner of Europe. What goes around comes around, I suppose, as Mr. Ewing himself espoused an envious nature of the Focus ST trip that came before.
The good news in all this covetous intra-office behavior? All the cars mentioned, and specifically the Fiesta ST, are just wonderful to drive. I can say that with more confidence than ever now, having joined Ford for a good bit of Fiesta-flinging myself. In my case, the locale was slightly more pedestrian (Michigan not Portugal), and the car in question was the five-door version of the Fiesta ST that we get here in The States, as opposed to the three-door number they get across the pond.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
