Ford F-450 Western Hauler on 2040-cars

Utica, New York, United States

This is probably one of the best haulers available. First I'd like to say that the 6.0 engine is one of the best built. There have been some bad press, mostly due to the emissions that were put on these new engines. I have talked to several people with 6.0 diesels and they have never had a problem & some that have had nothing but problems. I spent a lot of time researching problems and solutions. Finally I decided to go through everything to "Bullet Proof" the engine. The automatic transmission was new as was the engine for 2003. The transmission is a work of art. It shifts beautifully and shifts down to use the engine as a brake. This truck was purchased in Texas and used there by the 1st owner. It then was purchased by the 2nd owner and used in Louisiana. I am the 3rd owner and live in New York State but the truck has never been in bad weather. The body is perfect. Below I will list all the things that I have done to the truck. Most of them to just insure that I would have no problems.

  • Regulator
  • Sensor assembly
  • Semi Bullet proof kit with EGR delete
  • Tube (j pipe)
  • High pressure oil pump kit
  • Lucas Synthetic rear end lub & friction modifier
  • High pressure oil pump gasket
  • New thermostat
  • 15/40 Royal Purple synthetic engine oil
  • Cat bypass pipe
  • Relocated trailer brake controller
  • Installed oil temp, exhaust temp & boost gauges
  • New oil injection pump
  • Removed, cleaned & rebuilt turbo
  • New inlet hose for turbo
  • Installed 8 new injectors, purchased from Ford
  •  New Alternator
  • New serpentine Belt
  • New air conditioning compressor
  • New A/C accumulator
  • New fuel injection control module

All this work & parts came to about $12,000. The fuel injectors alone were $2,300 not installed. I had an older 6.9 diesel with a turbo & a set of injectors for that were about $300 per set. I have all the receipts. Bottom line is that the truck runs perfect and has tremendous power. The Western Hauler package gives you many things such as upgraded leather seats that are heated. Air bags in the rear with a dedicated air compressor. The hauler body has all kinds of storage. The rear seat moves with power to make a bed. I only want to sell this truck because I don't use it. The first year I had it, we towed my car trailer & went to several shows and a Grand National Meet. My trailer loaded weighs about 10,000 pounds and this truck doesn't even know it's back there. I truly do think this truck is better than the new ones as they have more emissions on them. There is a 100 gallon fuel tank on the hauler bed and the 20 gallon tank that came on the truck. Let me know if you have any questions.

Ford debuts Fusion NASCAR racer that edges closer to stock [w/video]

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

The sixth-generation NASCAR Sprint Cup racecar, which will make its competition debut at the 2013 Daytona 500 this weekend, marks the closest thing to a "stock car" that the sport has seen in more than 20 years. No longer using just stickers to distinguish the different brands, the image above shows the lengths NASCAR and automakers went in order to create a racecar design that more closely resembles the individual cars they represent.
Ford, one of the more open and vocal OEMs regarding the Gen6 car's development, is giving us a closer look at its racing version of the Fusion with a pretty revealing side-by-side comparison with last years' racer (click above for an expanded view). Aside from the more realistic front end and production-like body lines, the overall shape, dimensions and proportions have also been designed to give the racecar a more stock appearance. Most of the new racer was designed by the Ford Design Center, which the automaker says was the first time it has been so involved in the design process since the 1960s. Of course, one area the Sprint Cup Fusion really differs from the production Fusion is its Ford Racing 5.8-liter V8 producing around 850 hp. Can you say Fusion SVT?
Scroll down for a quick video from Ford Racing showing a production Fusion morph into a Cup car.

Ford decides C-Max shoppers not interested in fuel economy

Sat, Oct 25 2014

If you say a car – the Ford C-Max Hybrid, for example – is "fun to drive," can anyone really come up with some empirical evidence against your claim? What about calling it "versatile"? We wonder if Ford has been thinking along these lines when it talks about the green little hatch. Ford is refocusing its sales strategy for the C-Max Hybrid after the model took a sales hit on both sides of the Atlantic recently, Automotive News reports. That sales dropoff may stem from the fact that Ford has had to revise its fuel-economy figures downward for the C-Max twice since last year, most recently in June. That made the company's once-proud fuel-economy comparisons with the Toyota Prius kind of pointless. Ford is going a different route, calling the model versatile (which, to be fair it was also doing a year ago), technologically advanced and fun to drive. Since the C-Max has about 50 more horsepower than the Prius, that last part may be true. Ford representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen about the mpg-mention-free advertising direction, but we will update this post if we hear back. Sales of the C-Max Hybrid have suffered in the US. Through September, Ford sold 15,245 C-Max Hybrids, down 36 percent from last year. We shall see if a new focus away from the car's lowered mpg numbers helps. At least Ford can be pleased with sales of the C-Max Energi Plug-in Hybrid, which are up 51 percent compared to 2013.

Ford S-Max Concept proves minivans aren't always minivans [w/video]

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Ford's latest don't-call-it-a-minivan is called the S-Max Concept, and it's a looker. As you can see, the conceptual overgrown hatch makes good use of Ford's latest design language, especially at the very front of the S-Max, which bears a striking resemblance to production models that include the Focus, C-Max and Fusion.
Powering the S-Max Concept is a 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine, and while Ford doesn't actually list power figures for the concept, previous estimates put the mill at 133 kW of power (about 178 horsepower) and 240 Nm of torque (about 177 pound-feet). Inside, there's room for seven passengers and at least some of their luggage.
As you'd expect, the S-Max is loaded up with all of Ford's latest infotainment technology, including Sync and MyFordTouch. More interestingly, there are also onboard heart and blood glucose monitors that we doubt will be seeing the light of production anytime soon. On that topic, don't expect to see any S-Max-shaped vehicles hitting the US market from Ford, either. Scroll down below for the press release, but not before checking out the high-res image gallery above.
