2005 Ford F-550, 4x4, 6.0 Diesel on 2040-cars
|
EBay does not show a listing for F-550 that is why this is under F-450, but it is F-550. 2005, 4x4, 6.0 Power Stroke diesel with 12' flatbed. It is from the South and has never seen an Ohio Winter. It is absolutely spotless with no rust of any kind anywhere. The truck has 198k miles on it, the engine has 133k miles. The truck runs, drives, and shifts perfectly and needs nothing. The 4 wheel drive, hubs, t-case everything works perfectly. Truck has never had a plow on it. Engine work: Approx 8k miles ago the heads were machined flat, new Ford head gaskets installed, ARP head studs, new oil cooler, EGR delete, dummy plugs, stand pipes, IPR o-rings, STC fitting, injector o-rings, coolant filter added with new CAT spec coolant, and new T-stat. I'm probably forgetting a thing or 2. It was gone through and all typical fixes done to make this bulletproof and a very reliable work truck. The turbo has approx 80k miles on it. The injectors were replaced with Allaint Power remans 8k miles ago, too. The FICM is a Swamp's 58v rebuilt unit 8k miles ago, too, and has the 80 hp PHP tune. The flatbed stake body is 12' long, has removable sides, and has tool boxes on both sides, all in excellent condition. The truck is 84" cab to axle with 4:88 gears. Tires are decent - they are not perfect and are not bald. They can be used to get you going for sure. The interior is in excellent shape, which is very unusual for an older work truck with 200k miles. The seat was totally trashed when I got it and I found a very reasonably priced tan seat for it. You can throw a seat cover on it if you want, I didn't so you can see it's a near new seat in great condition. Who cares what color it is, it's in a work truck! The truck is for sale locally here in North East Ohio, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Contact me via email, phone or text with questions or to come see and drive. You will not be disappointed whatsoever with this super clean, bulletproof 6.0 Powerstroke diesel truck. 216-twothreefive-4060. |

Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes
Sun, 29 Dec 2013Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.
Ford finds flex-fuel engine design plays big role in emissions output
Mon, Jan 6 2014How bad is ethanol for your engine? There's been a lot of debate on this issue as the US considers upping the biofuel content in the national gasoline supply from 10 percent (E10) to 15 percent (E15). The ethanol industry and some scientists say higher ethanol blends show no "meaningful differences" in new engines while the oil industry says ethanol creates health risks. Researchers working at the Ford Research and Innovation Center decided to take a closer look at how a wide range of gas-ethanol blends - E0, E10, E20, E30, E40, E55 and E80 - affected the emissions coming out of a flex-fuel 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. To see the full report, printed in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, requires payment, but there is an abstract and Green Car Congress has some more details. The gist is that, "with increasing ethanol content in the fuel, the tailpipe emissions of ethanol, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, methane, and ammonia increased." At least NOx and NMHC emissions decreased. The researchers say that the effects are due to the fuel and "are expected for all FFVs," but that the way that a manufacturer calibrates the engine will affect NOx, THC, and NMOG emissions. It's this last bit that's important, since the researchers found, "Higher ethanol content in gasoline affects several fundamental fuel properties that can impact emissions. ... These changes can have positive or negative effects that can depend on engine design, hardware, and control strategy. In addition to direct emissions impacts, higher ethanol content fuel can also provide more efficient combustion and overall engine operation under part-load conditions and under knock-limited higher-load conditions." So, as we head towards more ethanol in our fuel supply (maybe), manufacturers are going to need to learn how to burn it most efficiently.
Project Ugly Horse: Part VI
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Solid 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.
