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 GT gets sexy shape and EcoBoost power [w/videos]

Mon, Jan 12 2015

American automakers make vehicles of all shapes and sizes, but the one thing they almost invariably share in common is their front-engine layout. Niche offerings from the likes of SSC, Saleen and Vector (and the almost anecdotal Pontiac Fiero) aside, the most notable exception has been the Ford GT. And now it's back. Launched on the floor of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, the new Ford GT picks up where the last one left off the better part of a decade ago – similarly taking its cues from the original, Le Mans-winning GT40, but in a less retro, more modern form. Instead of the atmospheric V8 in the original or the supercharged one in the retro revival, the new GT packs a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 nestled in the middle of its wheelbase and driving "more than 600 horsepower" to the rear wheels. Although Ford hasn't revealed the specific output or performance figures, it says the engine Â– derived from its Daytona Prototype unit and mated to a seven-speed DCT Â– is its most powerful production EcoBoost ever. Fortunately it's got carbon-ceramic brakes to keep it all in check, packed into 20-inch wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 rubber. The discs aren't all that's made from carbon on the new Ford GT, though: it's built around a carbon monocoque with structural carbon-fiber body panels, but with aluminum sub-frames front and back. Ford designed the new GT with a narrower canopy than its predecessors, cutting the frontal aerodynamic profile and tapering towards the back. It's also equipped with active aero elements including an active rear wing. Upwards swinging doors ought to make ingress and egress easier to and from the cockpit that's fitted with fixed seats, adjustable pedals and F1-style steering wheel and a fully digital instrument cluster. The new GT is set to enter production next year to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the GT40's famous 1-2-3 finish at the 1966 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. By the time it does, we're sure Ford will let us know just how fast America's newest supercar will be.

70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.

More 2015 Ford Mustang pricing information leaks [UPDATE]

Tue, 20 May 2014

The big news this morning was that the 2015 Ford Mustang would start at $24,425, including its destination pricing. The big news this afternoon is, well, bigger.
Mustang6G.com has come up with what it claims is pricing info for the entire Mustang line, rather than just the V6. That means we know all about the EcoBoost and GT prices now, which, when combined with the dealer order sheets we reported on last week, gives us our clearest look yet at how the Mustang can be outfitted (we're still a bit short on pricing info for some standalone options, like paint premiums and such).
The base EcoBoost starts at $25,995, while the GT rings up at $32,925.
