Ford E-350 w/7.3 diesel engine and automatic overdrive transmission.  It was a SWAT truck and filled with communications gear racks when I bought it at a police auction.  I added the large drawered tool boxes - like car mechanics tool boxes - and built some aluminum cabinets.  We used it as an HVAC/R service and installation truck and it was great for that.  The exterior doors all have magnetic switches that turn on a gang of bright interior lights so it's great to work out of at night - it's as bright as day inside.  There are also bright exterior work lights built in too.  You can set up the manual switches so the exterior work lights come on when you open the doors too.  The interior is actually very cool - lots of aluminum diamond plate and lost of cabinet space.  The exterior cabinets have door switches and lights too.  There is an aluminum ladder rack - with rollers to spare the paint.  And there is also an aluminum frame hitch too but I only used it once to move a utility trailer for my neighbor.  There doesn't seem to be any trailer light wiring.  Oh;  the tail light assemblies are new too.  The old ones had a cracked lens and one had an intermittent bad ground.  So we just replaced them both to be on the safe side of easier.   


All the emergency vehicle lights still work but I painted the side lenses over black.  I was going to do them all but I never got around to it.  The hard wired police spotlight is in the cab too.  

Good:  the brakes and tires are brand new.  At least two are top-shelf Michelins.  The tires and brakes don't have 1000 miles on them.  New transmission and torque converter about 2000 miles ago.  I had them replace the rear main seal too.  Both batteries are also new - last fall I think.  The 7.3 always starts and runs like a watch.  I have another one with over 400K on it - might be 450K by now - and it doesn't even smoke.  Even the baby of the fleet has 260K miles on it.  The 7.3's all apparently run forever.

Bad:  the driver's door power window doesn't work - it needs a rocker switch, or two of the wires re-attached to the old switch.  We fixed it one time but the wires came off again when the door panel was off to change the mirrors.  Oh;  the rearview mirrors are new too.  It has a touch-screen CD player with a flip-front which also removes - but it stopped working again recently.  The last time the electronics place replaced a fuse and then it was fine for over a year.    

There are normal scratches and so forth - but it's easy to match to touch up - as there is only one black.  I was going to have the  Investigation * Support Unit  lettering taken off the sides but everybody everywhere got such a kick out of it that I ended up leaving it.  It's been a cool truck:  you never get stopped for speeding, you can park anywhere, and we got waved through roadblocks several times.

Oh;  I just remembered - the whole exhaust system was replaced last year too. 

That 288,000 miles number I listed may not be exactly right.  I don't have the truck here so I'm just going by memory, but I think it's pretty close to that.  If it's critical for you to know down to the last mile I'll run over to the shop and find out for you. 

Any questions just ask.

2015 Ford Mustang GT Line-Lock Burnout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.

1947 Chevy rat rod pickup leaves rubber and smoke in its wake

Thu, 08 May 2014

Cool comes in multiple flavors. One one hand, we have the sophisticated attraction of svelte design and the efficient use of power. Of course, on the other hand there is the allure of being the bad boy and going against the grain. That is part of the appeal of rat rods. Ideally, they are built without rules to an owner's specific tastes, and this widened and heavily modified 1947 Chevrolet pickup rod is a perfect example of that spirit.
Coming down the highway with a bent grille, rusted body and pouring smoke, it looks like the pickup from hell. It backs up the looks with some very impressive mechanicals too. Owner Troy Gubser says that the truck packs a Ford Power Stroke diesel with to 42 pounds of boost that runs out of 8-inch exhaust stacks at the back. He claims it managed 505 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque on the dyno. To harness all that power, this hot rod has a ZF five-speed manual gearbox with a ceramic clutch and short-throw shifter. Plus, it has cool little features like a doorbell on the tailgate that operates an air horn.
You might not expect a truck like this to actually be useful, but it has a fifth wheel coupling to haul an RV around drag races and car shows. The air suspension also probably keeps the ride fairly comfy when Gubser wants it to be. Scroll down to check out this beastly rat rod pickup and watch it engage in some diesel drag racing. Warning, there is some NSFW language.
