I have a 2000 Ford F-150 Lightning with 118,000 miles on it. It is in Excellent condition. It has a brand new transmission with 2600 stall converter. It was built by Transmission Specialists in machesney park, IL. The transmission has high performance Sonnax clutches and band as well as a shift kit. The 4R100transmission cost over $3k. Yes, I have the reciept. According to dealer records, the engine was changed in 2004, so in a very conservative estimate, the engine has about 90,000 miles on it. The spark plugs were just changed. There is a scratch above the driver's rear wheel opening and a 1 inch hole in the bumper that somthing poked through, it has touch up paint on it to keep from rusting. Otherwise, it is a rust free vehicle.
The following modifications include
4lb lower pulley
2.9" upper pulley--together make about 16lb of boost
C&L Intake
ported throttle body
C&L upper plenum
Ported supercharger
Lightning Force Performance intercooler
Aafco heat exchanger with fans
Accel coils (minus one that crapped out, I put a stocker on there and it comes with the other 7 stock coils)
L&S Oil Separator
Kooks long tube stainless steel headers
Catco high flow stainless catalytic converters
Magnaflow stainless steel exhaust
Hellwig front and rear sway bars
All steering components are new and the truck has a fresh alignment as well as new shocks all around
New Powerslot slotted rotors and ceramic pads and just new pads on the back, brake system was just bled
The rear end has fresh fluid and a T/A girdle
Covering the bed is a factory tonneau cover
The bedliner is a Bedrug brand
The EGR is deleted, so the Check engine light is on
Also comes with an SCT tuner
The battery has been relocated to right in front of the rear bumper, yes, it is secure there.
For those of you for numbers, it's stock from the factory with 360HP, so add 6lb of boost and some other modifications and it probably comes a little over 400. The Nitto drag radials prevent the tires from going up in smoke from a standstill. No, I haven't beat the hell out of this truck, but anyone who tells you their 400hp vehicle was "babied" is a liar. No one buys cars or trucks like this just to piddle around. No, it doesn't smoke, no I didn't do burnouts with it all day, yes, it's been leaned on. Yes, it starts, runs, and drives well reliably.
Call, text, or email for any questions
thanks,
Dan

George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]
Sun, 20 Jan 2013Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.
As US exports top 2 million, is America becoming the world's source of cheap cars?
Mon, Feb 9 2015North American auto production is booming with 2014 figures just shy of the of the 17.3-million vehicle record set in 2000. With more models being built on the continent, even more are being shipped overseas. Factories in the US exported 2.1 million cars last year – the highest number ever. About half of those went to Canada and Mexico, but more than ever have been heading to places like the Middle East and China. The upswing comes in part from from after-effects from the Great Recession, according to The Wall Street Journal. With a weak dollar and lower production costs after the financial crisis, building vehicles in the US was relatively cheaper and more competitive in the world. At the same time buyers around the world are going crazy for crossovers. According to the WSJ, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are already exporting the majority of their US production of these models overseas. Both automakers have also announced investments to expand production further here to send more vehicles abroad. Even Honda has been shipping more models out of the country than it imported here. There is a concern this international strength could start slowing because the dollar is strengthening against other currencies, though it's too early to know what the actual effect of this could be, according to the WSJ. "Of course, we closely watch currency exchange, but we don't make changes in production or allocation based on temporary fluctuations in the exchange rate," Ford North American boss Joe Hinrichs told the newspaper.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
