1954 Ford F250

This classic fatfender beauty was purchased in 2009, restored and updated.  It features the original 223 inline 6 cylinder engine (which was rebuilt) and 3 speed manual HD transmission.  NO overheating problems at all.  Truck runs down the road straight and fine.  Tires were new last year. Front disc brakes and a dual master cylinder were added along with a toyota power steering conversion.  All new hoses and brake lines installed. New steel fuel tank installed. This truck was stripped down to the frame and redone.  The stock suspension was overhauled with new kingpins and bushings. Frame was scrubbed and coated with POR 15. All the wiring has been converted over to new 12 volt negative ground.  New battery and alternator with all new wiring.  New carpet and custom interior installed. All new glass installed. The original dash instruments were not hooked up except for speedo and odometer (they are accurate and work).  I installed a new gauge cluster that gives better readings than the stock gauges ever did.  It starts and runs good.  We have driven this truck over 1300 miles since it was road ready last year.  The rear end was changed out to a Dana 44 (3.73 gears).  Allows the truck to run at 65-70mph down the highway.  It features a custom wooden flatbed with decorative stake sides. This truck was rebuilt as a daily/weekend driver, not a show truck. It still has some small dings but any rust was removed long ago. It is 95% finished. Needs a e-brake cable and driver side door latch needs replaced. Drive it like it is or spend the time at your pace to finalize it. The paint job is new but has not been wetsanded out and buffed.  Family obligations are forcing me to sell the truck now. It has a clear Michigan title. If you have LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACKS, Contact me PRIOR to bidding or I will cancel your bid.  Vehicle is for sale locally so I reserve to the right to end the auction if its sold.   Please ask any questions prior to bidding.  Willing to work with a transporter or fly in and drive it home.  Willing to sell internationally.  Truck will not be released until full payment is received. I accept CASH only or bank wire.  No checks, money orders or certified checks.  Vehicle must be picked up within 10 days of close of auction.

Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?

Sun, 28 Jul 2013

Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.

Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
