 Up for auction is my 2000 Ford Excursion. Yes it has has a prior salvage title in Iowa. I own and operate a shop in town and I bought this truck for myself three years ago from auction. It was wrecked in the front. No frame damage at all. I looked for quite a while to find a nice truck with the 7.3 as I did not want anything to do with that 6.0 liter. Since the truck was wrecked in the front I upgraded all the front end pieces to the 05-07 superduty frontend with all color matched parts and the harley davidson style headlights with 5000k HID conversion on lights and driving lights.On the rear I replaced the chrome bumper with a painted one and custom installed the backup camera into the rear handle assembly and it points directly at the trailer ball as that is the main reason I built this truck, For towing trailers and our camper. The interior is all original except the Clarion NX500 head unit with Navigation and rear monitors for the kids. I do have the third row seat, it's just not in the pictures. The exterior is obviously all custom paint. Top is straight black and the lower is Guards red all done in PPG base clear. The truck was pretty much completely disassembled when painting so the colors go through the jams and everything. The truck was originally black. The 7.3 is all stock except the wicked wheel on the turbo to eliminate the stock wheel flutter under hard boost. The up pipes were all done when the wheel was installed.It does have a superchips programmer in it that stays set on tow safe mode unless were road tripping without a trailer. Then it's on max performance for fuel mileage.The best I seen was 18mpg with 8 people in it on a trip to St.Louis. The brakes are new in the front and new last year in the rear. The Nitto 305/55/r20's are in decent shape with a decent amount of tread left yet. The wheels are definetely what we call 20 footers. I run them year round and it's showing. They look good from a distance but are corroding. Like I said I built this 3 years ago and have put over 50k miles on it with no issues besides basic maintenance. Oil changed every 5k miles with Delvac. Now a few things to know. The Clarion needs to be sent in for service. When inserting a DVD it is suppose to switch from radio screen to DVD but it stopped doing that a few months ago. Just stays on radio so you cant control the player to the rear monitors. They said it would be couple hundred bucks at worse. This is a 14 year old truck and I've done my best to keep the slop off of it in the winter but it's starting to show rust on the inside lips of the doors and the drivers side rear rocker. It could be taken care of by a shop rather easily I would think. The suspension is all original. I was going to put a lift in but it's already tough for the kids to get in and out as it is. Basically we sold the camper and went to a motorhome so I don't really need this truck anymore but I don't have to get rid of it either so no low balling. It's been a great truck for us and they're getting harder to find.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.

Ford reports $3B profit in Q4, $6.9B for the year

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Good news out of Dearborn today, as Ford announced $3 billion in profit for the last quarter of 2013, a 90-percent increase over the same period of 2012. Net income for all of last year, meanwhile, jumped to $7.2 billion from $5.7 billion in 2012, while pre-tax profits sat at a decade-topping $6.9 billion for all of 2013.
The results of the substantial profit increases are bigger profit-sharing checks for UAW employees. How big? A record $8,800 on average for 47,000 UAW workers, making 2013 the biggest year for profit sharing in Ford history. In total, $414 million will be paid as part of the profit-sharing scheme.
Now, it should be pointed out that a fair portion of Ford's Q4 profits were due to tax benefits, totaling $2.1 billion, according to Automotive News. Total profits would have also been higher, had there not been a significant recall on the Escape, as well as plant issues in South America.
