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.

Ford to reveal Vignale sub-brand with special Mondeo in Frankfurt

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

Ford says that 10-15 percent of its customers in Europe want their cars to be set apart from regular Fords - even those wearing the top Titanium X trim - and the Blue Oval will answer them with the Vignale sub-brand. The new brand proposes a more upscale look and a much-improved dealership experience, Autocar reports. The Vignale Mondeo will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show to kick off the new endeavor.
The first Ford to receive the Vignale treatment will be the 2015 Mondeo, a Euro-only model, followed by the new S-Max and Edge. The Vignale Mondeo is set apart visually from other Mondeos by a chrome grille and chrome door handles and mirror caps. Mondeo badging will be deleted - only Vignale badging will make an appearance.
The interior will get a more upscale flavor, as well, with quilted leather seats and door trim and leather covering the instrument panel, center console and steering wheel. A Vignale-badged storage drawer will be installed in the trunk, and in-car Wi-Fi is available.

Ford unveils all-new 2016 F-650 and F-750 at NTEA

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

Medium-duty work trucks might not be the most exciting vehicles, but they perform necessary jobs everyday. Ford is in the process of a complete refresh of its entire commercial vehicle lineup over the next 18 months, and it is debuting the all-new versions of its F-650 and F-750 trucks at the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN.
"The all-new F-650/F-750 allow us to leverage our strengths and sales leadership in Classes 1 to 5 to create a better F-650/F-750 that's designed, engineered and built by Ford in the USA," said Ford spokesperson Mike Levine to Autoblog via email.
Huge amounts of torque is vital for trucks like these, and both models are offered with some of Fords biggest engines. Buyers can opt for either the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel with TorqShift 6-speed automatic with available power takeoff or a gasoline-fueled 6.8-liter V10 with a 6-speed automatic. The V10 can also be ordered from the factory to be fueled by compressed natural gas or liquid propane gas.
