This is an awesome vehicle that I purchased for hunting, fishing and camping. Unfortunately, family and business needs come first and I reluctantly have to part with this rig. I purchased this truck with 150k miles on it and have taken meticulous care of it since. It came with the EGR Delete kit, which is a costly but important modification for this year of the 6.0, and can increase the life of this engine dramatically. It also already had the 4" turbo-back exhaust system and Bullydog cold air intake. I have installed the "blue spring" fuel pressure regulator, which was another issue with these engines that caused them to not get enough fuel when under load. I have a Bullydog Power Pup 10-stage programmer I will also include for the successful bidder. The wheels are 18" Chrome plated and the tires are 325/65 Firestone Destination ATs with decent tread left.

This truck is a BRUTE, as illustrated by the heavy duty bumper guard up front, made of 1/4" steel. I recently replaced the front hub assemblies and rotors, ($1800!!!) but otherwise it has been bulletproof. 4x4 works smoothly. The truck was a Florida vehicle until last winter, but even though it is tagged with Minnesota plates, it still has seen very little road salt. It's very clean. I've owned 9 Powerstroke diesels and this is my sixth 6.0. I know how to take care of them and I know their strengths and weaknesses. This is a good one. I would confidently take this truck anywhere. I have another Powerstroke 6.0 pickup that is a "project" truck for me and it doesn't run as smooth as this one, but I need to keep a truck and don't need the SUV.

The steering is a little sloppy, as it needs some new rod ends, but it's aligned and doesn't dog track or anything. The front bumper is the only real flaw on the truck, as the passenger side has a little dent on it. If that was replaced, the body would be 99% straight. The interior is worn where it typically is, on the drivers' seat, but otherwise just normal wear and tear. Not a lot of stains, no rips, etc. I will upload better interior pics or email them upon request. I haven't had a chance to get pics during daylight since deciding to sell it.

"Subtle" would not be a good word to describe this truck. It's loud and it stands out. My kids named it "Big E" and their class mates think it's "cool".

I buy on Ebay, but not sold a lot, so I'm a little out of my comfort zone. I will make one last "road trip" in this rig if you cannot pick this truck up, for a negotiated amount.

This is really a special interest vehicle and needs to go to someone that is specifically looking for this special American muscle!

Monsoon rains disrupt production for Ford, BMW in India

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Even modern production techniques can be stymied by Mother Nature. This was demonstrated most recently in India, as torrential, monsoon rains caused a deluge that forced multiple automakers to suspend production. Ford, Renault, and BMW all halted work at their Indian facilities around the southern city of Chennai, also known as Madras. The annual rains disrupted public transport around the city, preventing employees from making the trek into city's factories. According to Automotive News, Chennai saw 48 inches of precipitation last month alone, which is more than Seattle, WA saw in all of 2014. While Ford and BMW closed things down for all of December 1, Renault just cancelled a pair of shifts at its Chennai factory. This is the second time in the past month that automakers in southeast India have been forced to stop production due to severe flooding, and things aren't likely to improve. According to The Weather Channel, forecasts call for thunderstorms over five of the next seven days, while the chance of rain won't fall below 80 percent until December 8. Ford, Renault, and BMW are far from the only automakers that could stand to be impacted by the rains. The city has been nicknamed "The Detroit of India" for its extreme automotive presence. Daimler, Hindustan, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Nissan all own factories in the region.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit can haul on the track

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Line up any two comparable vehicles, and eople are going to want to race them. Need proof? In its latest track battle, Auto Express wants to know which commercial vehicle can lap a circuit faster - a Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Let's face it, neither of these European vans were ever meant to be near the track unless they are delivering a racecar and a ton of parts for a fun weekend, but it's massively fun to watch them give it a go anyway.
The one thing that Auto Express really illustrates here is the modern marvel that is stability control. The driver hops curves, and these big vans lean in the corners like your friend walking home from a long night at the bar. However, because of the amazing stability systems, the vans mostly keep all of their wheels planted and never seem close to getting sloppy, despite their behemoth size.
Unfortunately, the two vans aren't exactly fairly paired. The Ford has a dual rear axle and a few other advantages over the Mercedes, but it's still hilarious to watch them go. Even better, the host breaks down everything happening behind the wheel like these commercial vehicles were two Porsches. Enjoy watching this very unorthodox battle between Ford and Mercedes.

2015 Ford Mustang already under recall, but just 53 units

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Ford has issued a small - but significant - recall for one of its spotlight cars: the 2015 Mustang.
The recall affects just 53 cars, with 50 in the United States and three in Canada. Ford said the passenger side safety belt buckle tension sensor may not have been calibrated properly by the supplier. This could lead to "misclassification" of the passenger seat occupant, and could cause the airbag to deploy improperly.
A Ford spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, the automaker said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries, and dealers will replace the buckle assembly at no cost to customers. The cars affected were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan from Aug. 18 to Oct. 2.
