This FX4 is listed as a 2002 but is actually a 2003 model. Many people do not realize that Ford produced a handful of 7.3 Diesel Super Dutys in 2003. I would guess around 10 percent of diesel trucks.

These 7.3L trucks are very popular for 3 reasons. 1. Proven Durability 2. Awesome torque for pulling and hauling 3. Impressive fuel mileage.

Clean Solid truck and has been well cared for.  The truck is a pleasure to drive.  One owner.  Nonsmoker.

MECHANICAL

Engine starts like it should and idles great. (Even on cold days)  Performance is impressive and the truck is in excellent working order.   Blowby same as 100k truck.

The turbo offers very good acceleration when needed.    No dash warning lights illuminated. No modifications.  Synthetic oil used in engine and diligently changed.  

AC and heat are good.  A/C system still has insulation cover  (see engine picture).

Transmission is in great condition and operates smoothly.  Supension and steering are tight.  Drives straight and brakes straight. 

Drive with one finger at 70 mph.

BODY

The Toreador Red metallic paint looks original.  Still looks glossy and has escaped weathering from sun.   Truck is straight.  There are a few minor hail dents to hood.  A couple minor scratches.  Bed is good and does not have a bed hitch.   This is a Texas truck and rustfree.  Windshield is perfect.  Ford bedliner.  Bumpers, grill, headlights, mirrors, tailgate and accessories are all nice. 

To find a nicer 7.3 diesel dually would be difficult.  

INTERIOR

The interior is in very good condition. No tears or stains.  Leather near perfect.  Console and dash all perfect.  Power windows are all operational.

Power locks are functional.  Steering wheel is gray leather and almost perfect.  (no need for a funky steering wheel cover)

TIRES / WHEELS

Factory Lariat aluminum wheels in nice condition with Bridgestone highway tires.   50 % tread.

Had a question about the production date.......... It was built in August of 2002 and why it is called a 2003 but has the desireable 2002 engine (7.3 powerstroke).  This truck is rare.

Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.

Ford will build Hackmobile out of Transit Connect Wagon

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

What you see in the above image is a rendering of the Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon. What is that? It's a "mobile fabrication and hacking unit" that includes tools for metal- and woodworking, 3D and electronics fabrication, a three-axis CNC machine called "The Fabber," a video projector and screen, an air compressor, an 84x48-inch work surface that folds out like a Murphy bed and oh so much more. When not in use, all of the implements fold neatly into the back of Ford's award-winning van.
But perhaps the more important question is why is that? Because Make Magazine held an Ultimate Maker Vehicle Challenge in conjunction with Ford in which ten teams created were charged with creating "the ultimate Ford Transit Connect Wagon for the do-it-yourself enthusiast." Team Twin Cities Maker won the competition with the Hackmobile, and in addition to winning $10,000, Ford has declared it's actually going to build the thing - which is great, because if they can actually engineer a road-legal Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon as envisioned, the inevitable A-Team movie reboot might need to think about including it.
Check out the video below for a cheeky walk-through of the Hackmobile, and get all the particulars in the press release below that.

Solid axle? What solid axle?
I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation.
This should not have gone this easily. Having a long and checkered history of simple projects punctuated by much wailing and gnashing of knuckles, I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation when I finally decided to lay hands on the '89 Mustang with the goal of relieving the car of its stock rear axle. Instead, it took less than a full morning's worth of work to carve the old 7.5-inch solid axle from its moorings and mock up something, well, different.
