2008 Ford F-250 on 2040-cars
Waterflow, New Mexico, United States
Just email me at: kinaquraishi@netzero.net .
Selling an absolutely beautiful 2-owner 2008 f250 105 year Harley Davidson Anniversary Edition 4x4 with the 6.4
powerstroke diesel with over $30,000 in upgrades, on top of the nearly $20,000 in options as ordered from factory.
Has everything - moon roof, heated seats, supplemental heat, electric rear window, upfitter switches, upgraded
alternators, tow hitch and tow command, electronic adjustable pedals, lighted running boards, electric telescoping
tow mirrors, etc etc. Black leather and bronze two-toned factory interior, with chrome Harley badges proudly
displayed on fenders, tailgate, wheels, center console, floor mats, and every seat! I purchased truck bone stock as
a fully-loaded 1-owner vehicle at 91k miles. I upgraded everything in small steps since purchased to make the
1-off beauty it is today. Truck resides in New Mexico and has never seen salt.
A few of the most significant drivetrain mods below :
Elite Diesel 75/59 vgt turbos
EGR Delete (No DPF fluid required on this truck either)
Full MBRP 4” stainless exhaust (single 5” stainless tip)
ARP Headstuds/ new FORD gaskets. Heads were magnafluxed, ported, and decked flat before install
Airdog II fuel system
Replaced HPFP/8 new FoMoCo injectors/all new fuel lines (known weak point of 6.4's , replaced it all at 120k).
RCD chromoly pushrods/rockers and upgraded valve springs
RCD stainless up-pipes
RCD stainless exhaust manifolds (custom fabbed 304ss, not repurposed 6.0 units)
RCD ported fuel rails
No Limit Crankcase vent relocation kit
No Limit intake and filter assembly (K&N,AFE/S&B have nothing on this bad boy...required to satisfy 75/59 airflow
requirements)
No Limit stainless intercooler pipes with bungs for water/meth injection or additional monitoring.
SCT with No-Limit tuning, spartan dashdaq used for constant monitoring of gauges.
-Spartan still has original tunes, plus all RCD tunes up to 575. New owner could sell after purchase if you
wanted different gauges. I just unmarried Spartan and kept it for gauges instead of spending more on Edge CTS to do
the same thing.
Transmission was completely built with billet input/output shafts, upgraded forks and clutches
RCD billet torque converter
More things I'm forgetting, but this is most of the bigger upgrades. As I mentioned, done in small steps over the
years, without abusing or overpowering anything. EGR delete/exhaust/Spartan tuner/AFE intake was 1st, then upper
engine upgrades (installed a RCD 71mm atmo at the the time), then transmission, fuel, and finally the larger turbos
and the custom plumbing to satisfy monster turbos. Transmission has about 6k miles since rebuild, new turbos less
than 2k. Mechanically the truck is nearly new, with no issues. Brakes work great, steering is tight and straight.
A/C ice cold.
Replaced both batteries with new gel units in past 6 months. Quality 50" dual row light bar with SoCal super
trucks mount. Spots in center, flood lights on outside. Way too bright for road use, but lights up a boat dock or
campground at night! Meticulously maintained with Rotella t6 every 3k since I purchased, fuel filters every other
oil change and airdog 2 drained every week. 95+% 20” Cooper tires. 5% Window tint on everything but windshield.
Kenwood touchscreen DVD player with Garmin navigation. Had Line-x platinum bed-liner sprayed week I purchased.
Pictures accurately depict beauty and condition of this truck. I’ve tried to include high-quality photos from all
angles so you can zoom in on any part of the truck and inspect, no surprises here. Have more pictures I couldn't
upload, please contact me if you'd like additional pictures, or a walk-around video. At 8 years old, there’s a
few minor scuffs/scratches on interior/exterior as to be expected but nothing major, and this baby gets compliments
every single time it’s driven. The largest cosmetic fault that warrants mention is a small tear in the drivers
seat, approximately 1” on the seam where you enter and exit. It’s been that way since I purchased 30k + miles
ago and hasn’t grown, but I kept a seat cover on majority of the time. Lumbar support knob is off in pictures,
forgot to reinstall after removing seat cover, will be on at time of sale. Broke a clip on tailgate moulding, new
one is on order and will be installed before sale. All steering wheel controls work with the upgraded Kenwood
stereo. Weathertech formed floor mats keep carpet clean. I also have the factory carpet Harley floormats out of the
truck. Original owners manual/window sticker will be included. Two factory Harley keys, as well as keyless entry
door code.
Bought a new Platinum F250, and the Harley truck keeps getting upgrades, driven a few hundred miles, and stuck back
in storage. Truck was built to tow and EGT’s stay LOW with the monster turbos and plumbing, perfect tow rig for
your Harley trailer or toyhauler loaded down with friends and bikes on the way to Sturgis! Never had a 5th
wheel/gooseneck hitch installed. Love the truck, but I'm out of things to tinker with on it and it just doesn't get
driven enough to justify paying storage on it for the few thousand miles it’s been driven past few years (garage
is full).
Must be able to satisfactorily prove ability to pay for this truck before test drives will be entertained. I will
give rides to anyone interested, but you must have cash in hand or bank on the line before I’m handing over the
keys. This truck is far from stock, and throttle response and power can take inexperienced drivers by surprise into
dangerous territory quick until your used to the vehicle. For example, shortly after installing new 75/59 turbos,
hit a 2 block stretch of highway where speed is reduced to 45, before going back to 60 mph. I tapped brakes coming
into town, coasted 2 blocks, and just tapped “resume” on cruise control with foot off accelerator to get back
to 60 mph. The truck spooled up and broke loose on dry pavement @ 45 mph without touching accelerator. That was on
“hot street”. I’ve never loaded the full on race tune. Also have a custom tow tune built for this trucks
upgrades on SCT. Truck is a lot more contained on regular “street” without any excess smoke (where it’s
stayed since above excitement) but it’s still night and day difference to any slightly modified diesel. Too much
invested in this truck to let someone wrap it around a tree or hit ditches before payment is received. My
apologies, but this truck is a collector’s investment and has been looked at that way since purchase. It
wouldn’t be wise on my end to give keys to every kid who wants to see if it will outrun his buddies
duramax/cummins/vette/etc and wreck my investment. Im sure it will, you buy it, you can race it if that’s your
thing. That hasn’t been my intentions for building this truck, and it won’t be beat so long as the title is in
my name. Every upgrade done has been to ensure factory weak points were corrected, and to maximize towing
potential, longevity, and comfort for the long haul.
Deposit required within 48 hrs of winning bid. Full payment required within 7 days. If paying by check please be
aware it may be held for UP TO 7 days at my banks discretion to verify authenticity. If you bank with a larger
institution, it will go quickly, but I feel more comfortable with this disclaimer in case buyer is using a small,
non-affiliated local bank. Again, my apologies, but I’ve been burned by too many scammers on eBay. Vehicle is
located in Carlsbad NM. Buyer is responsible for shipping and pick-up, shipping not included in auction. May be
able to deliver depending on location and compensation, contact me before auction ends if you require this service.
Please ask any and all questions you may have before auction ends, thank you.

Major automakers post mixed US June sales figures
Mon, Jul 3 2017General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV posted declines in US new vehicle sales for June on Monday, while major Japanese automakers reported stronger figures. Once again, demand for pickup trucks and crossovers offset a decline in sedan sales. Automakers' shares rose as overall industry sales still came in above Wall Street expectations. The US auto industry is bracing for a downturn after hitting a record 17.55 million new vehicles sold in 2016. Analysts had predicted that overall, US vehicle sales would fall in June for the fourth consecutive month. As the market has shown signs of cooling, automakers have hiked discounts and loosened lending terms. Car shopping website Edmunds said on Monday the average length of a car loan reached an all-time high of 69.3 months in June. "It's financially risky, leaving borrowers exposed to being upside down on their vehicles for a large chunk of their loans," said Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds' executive director of industry analysis. GM said its sales fell about 5 percent versus June 2016, but that the industry would see stronger sales in the second half of 2017 versus the first half. "Under the current economic conditions, we anticipate US retail vehicle sales will remain strong for the foreseeable future." GM shares were up 2.4 percent in morning trading, while Ford rose 3.3 percent and FCA shares jumped 6 percent. "US total sales are moderating due to an industry-wide pullback in daily rental sales, but key US economic fundamentals clearly remain positive," said GM chief economist Mustafa Mohatarem. "Under the current economic conditions, we anticipate US retail vehicle sales will remain strong for the foreseeable future." Ford said its sales for June were hit by lower fleet sales to rental agencies, businesses, and government entities, which fell 13.9 percent, while sales to consumers were flat. But it sold a record 406,464 SUVs in the first half of the year, with Explorer sales increasing 23 percent in June. And sales of the F-150 had their strongest June since 2001. On a media call, Ford executives said an initial read of automakers' sales figures indicated a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of around 17 million new vehicles for the month, which would be better than 16.6 million units analysts had predicted. FCA said June sales decreased 7 percent versus the same month a year earlier.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
Ford Green Zone works magic with GPS to make your drive smarter, cleaner
Fri, Aug 29 2014For the most part, plug-in hybrids rely on the power stored in the battery until that charge is depleted. Unless the switch can be changed manually, it's only then that the cars fire up the internal combustion engine and begin using the fossil fuels on board. This is ideal, of course, when one's drive isn't long enough that the car needs to start sipping gasoline at all. On longer commutes, when it's certain that the route is longer than the car's all-electric range, this isn't necessarily the most efficient use of energy. Ford's Green Zone system is designed to save some of that juice for the parts of the drive that require slower speeds. Ford is working on a smart system, based on Nokia mapping technology, that uses GPS data to use both the electricity and conventional fuel more efficiently. Since battery power is less efficient at highway speeds, Ford's Green Zone system is designed to save some of that juice for the parts of the drive that require slower speeds, rather than just using up all the electrons right at the beginning of the drive. Using a website or the in-car navigation system, the driver can pinpoint the parts of the route, highlighted in green, where using battery power would be more effective, and set the car to automatically switch to electricity for those sections. Depending on the route, the car could automatically switch back and forth between the two power sources multiple times, particularly if the drive is a mix between city and highway driving. Of course, Green Zone will be go beyond that. The program is being developed to take traffic and road grade into account, details that allow the car to be make even smarter choices to improve efficiency. Ford even hopes to have Green Zone learn driver habits, and respond accordingly depending on who is driving the car. The system could control other features as well, such as anticipating corners and shifting the headlights to better illuminate the road ahead. Green Zone could also potentially use information from vehicle-to-vehicle networking to control functions in the car. The Green Zone system still has a few years before it will be ready to be put into production vehicles, but Ford is confident it will make its way onto the road eventually. As with other innovations that improve efficiency and make our vehicles smarter, we can expect to see similar technology from other manufacturers, until it becomes a regular part of driving in the future.
