2007 Ford F350 W/ Enclosed Service Body on 2040-cars
Greenville, Virginia, United States
I am shutting my business down and will no longer need this truck. It is a great running truck and gets good fuel mileage despite its size, usually around 16 mpg. I have keep the maintenance up on this truck because this is my only truck and I can't afford break downs. All of the fluids are changes every year, includes transmission, power steering, brake, antifreeze, differentials, and gearbox. The engine oil every 2 months. I have replaced many parts on the truck including, front wheel hub assemblies, tie rod end, shocks, steering stabilizer, ball joints, thermostat, coolant tank, STC fitting for HP oil pump, dummy plugs in fuel rail, front rotors and pads, rear brakes (rotors, pads, calipers, hoses), rear wheel bearings, all u-joints, carrier bearing. Most of these parts were replaced due to preventive maintenance. There are a few things that I haven't replaced, the right rear parking brake cable and the exciter ring in the rear differential. The original exciter ring somehow came off the ring gear and broke the rear speed sensor. It causes the ABS light it be on because I removed the exciter ring and haven't gotten around to replacing it. The speedometer stills works because the truck has a back up sensor in the transmission. The check engine light stays on due to the EGR system being disabled. The EGR system has caused issues with these 6.0 liter engines, so I modified it. There is a plug in the back of the EGR Cooler and the EGR valve is unplugged. I have also removed the catalytic converter because it puts a tremendous drag on the engine, I kept the original converter because it is a $1200 part. The STC fitting at the High Pressure oil pump was replaced because it is a common problem for the trucks, and the dummy plugs in rails where replaced because they are a common issue. The issues these two parts caused were when the truck was hot then shut down, the hot engine oil was thin enough to leak through these fittings causing the truck unable to start to until it cooled down. I have been very happy with this motor/transmission in this truck. It has the 6 speed torqshift transmission, a very strong transmission. It only shifts 5 times because it depends on the temperature and tow/haul function. Basically the overdrive is a gear, not the torque converter locking up in 5th gear. The truck also has supplement air bags installed on the rear axle. It makes it a really smooth ride. Also works great if hauling a heavy trailer because it eliminates the need for a load leveling hitch. I had a large camper that I hauled 4 times and tried it with and without the load leveler. Just simply pumping up the air bags to 40 psi was much better and a smoother rider then the load leveler. There are 5 wheels for the truck, 4 are polished chrome and 1 black steel spare. I have also keep the 4 rotors (front and rear) because they have enough steel to be turned. If you have any questions feel free to email me.

This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US
Wed, 11 Dec 2013As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost
Fri, 09 May 2014I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.
