Selling my 1997 F 250 Ford truck, clean truck, only 126,000 miles, the truck looks fairly stock, but has been nicely modified. Mostly I was going for creature comfort, a smoother ride on a 3/4 ton truck. Some sort of ride height adjustment, The front leaf springs tend to wear out quickly with the weight of the diesel and transfer case over them. Truck was on second set and could use help before I started, Note: the dana 50 is reliant on springs for caster and camber wheel alignment. It works good on F-150 with coil springs and a lighter motor.     First the Twin I-Beam Dana 50 removed to make room for a straight axle Dana 60 Old School Front Axle w/king pins, Rebuilt before installation, new seals and universal joints and Warn heavy duty full turn manual locking 4X4 hubs (King-Pins Axle) , Much easier maintenance then( ball joints) and no caster and camber issues. The truck has new Skyjacker Soft-Ride leaf springs. To adjust the  ride height Air-Bags were installed Front and Back. Fronts are 3" compressed to 9" fully expanded. Rated1300lbs each. Rear bags are 4" compressed and 13" fully expanded. The Front Rear has a Heavy-Duty Panhard Bar to control front stability along with 3/4 of a High Steering System, Note the Steering Link from Steering Box to Passenger side Steering Knuckle is Above the Leaf-spring. The drag-link is still below.        Rear-end has Panhard Bar to keep it in True, along with Heavy Track Bars, All Adjustable Joints are Super-Pivot type, and all joints are greasable. Rear Brakes, rear parking brake cables, and brake cylinders and drums are new, and Painted. Front Brake Calipers and Pads are New the Rotors that where on dana 60 rear when purchased, where reused. All Brake Hoses and Lines are New, including the Rear Anti-Lock Brake Actuator. Both Fuel tanks are New. Frame has had rust removed, treated with por-15 Metal Ready and has been painted whit por-15 rust paint with a brush to make sure of good contact to metal. New Skyjacker Hydro 7000 Shocks all around along with Steering Stabilizer. The Air-Bag Preesure is Controled using Two Little-Larry's Manual Control Valves, Front and Back Controlled separately. (No electric two mess with). Control Valves are Mounted in Dash with a Two- Needle Gauge just above. 2 needles in one gauge. Air suspension mainly for when truck is loaded or when pulling camper or car hauler.  Air Pressure for the system comes from a New Compressor and Two- gallon tank in the Bed Tool-Box.      Power, I wanted to open up flow of the stock motor mostly, K&N Filter and a  4" Gale Banks ( Monster)Stainless exhaust would help with that, 3" from Turbo to Cat. 4" through Monster Muffler to a 5" Polished Exhaust Tip.  Intercooler has been Added to help in Power, some parts used are Banks and some are a Kit for a Mustang intercooler, works Great! All Piping 3" Polished and the 4" Intercooler is Polished also.  Gale Banks Power-Chip is Installed on Factory Computer, along with the Banks Trans-Commander is installed for nice Trans Shifts.  Always plenty of Power,  never any Nasty Black Smoke. All Banks Gauges Installed to monitor Engine Exhaust and Transmission Temps, along with a Turbo Boost Pressure Gauge, mounted on A-Pillar and has Switch to turn off gauge lights if not needed. Truck moves out nicely, 4:10 gear ratio in rears work good with the bigger tires.    Interior: New 180 Watt per-channel  JVC sat ready Stereo has been installed along with Sony Explode Speakers front and back all installed behind factory speaker Grills to keep clean looking. Has a USB port in front for I-pod or other Music Storage Device. I have owned truck for about 5 years, I have put about 25,000 miles on truck and it has never given me any problems, even starts right up in the winter, New Starter installed also.        Truck has a few character marks (dents) on it , dent on extended cab section drivers side, top of bedside on drivers side dent and some surface rust starting on passenger door behind trim on door. Truck was Zebart Treated when it was new, they drill holes in the body and spray in rust prevention coating, and has kept the body in very good condition.   The Mickey Thomson Rims have been treated with Shark Hide, seems to be keeping rims very shinny, should be good for life, (front and back of rim).Stock Aluminum Factory Rims/ Hub Caps are available for truck, they have New 10 ply tires mounted on them, for the High Boy look. Either rims and tires go with truck, both sets for additional fee.  Truck has never been used for heavy pulling, I put a trailer hitch receiver on it when I bought it with a 100,000 miles on it. Never had one Before,  I pulled a light weight 4-wheeler trailer once in a while. The trucks undercarriage makes no noise, no squeaks, no rattles, tight ! The cab is very tight, no air leaks or wind noise. Thanks for looking, selling to continue working on other projects, My # 301-876-1007 questions about truck,  thanks Hewey.

2015 Ford Transit

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

As a segment, fullsize vans are stealth-fighter invisible on most consumers' radar. Visit a dealership for any of the four brands that offer them and you'll be lucky to find even one on display. These are commercial vehicles primarily, even more so than pickup trucks. Vans are the shuttles for plumbers, caterers, carpenters, concrete layers, masons, electricians, florists and flooring, and a huge part of this country's productivity is accomplished using them. At the moment, Ford is the 800-pound gorilla in that room - fully 41 percent of commercial vehicles wear a Blue Oval. So when Ford announced three years ago it would be ditching its commercial bread-and-butter E-Series, it meant the Transit that would be replacing the Econoline had huge, 53-year-old shoes to fill.
We were still a bit nostalgic about Econoline vans going away until going directly from the Transit first drive in Kansas City to an E-350 airport shuttle. Climb up through the Econoline's tiny double doors and bang your head on the opening, crouch all the way to your seat then enjoy a loud, rattle-prone, creaky, harsh ride on beam-hard seats while struggling to see out the low windows. This is an experience nearly every traveler has had. By comparison, the Transits we'd just spent two days with were every bit of the four decades better they needed to be. It cannot be understated just how much better the Transit is in every single way. The load floor is barely more than knee high. There's a huge side door, and hitting your head on a door opening is nearly impossible. Stand up all the way if you're under six-foot, six-inches - no more half-hunching down the aisle. There are windows actually designed to be looked out of. The ride is buttery smooth, no booming vibration from un-restrained metal panels and no squeaks. Conversations can be held at normal levels rather than yelling over the roar of an ancient V8. The seats are comfortable. The AC is cold. There are cupholders.
Enough anecdote-laying, what's in a Transit? We're talking about a very fullsized unibody van that's enjoyed a 49-year history in Ye Olde Europe. This latest iteration is part of the "One Ford" initiative, so it was designed as a global offering from the get-go, eschewing the body-on-frame construction the E-Series has used since 1975. Instead, the Transit integrates a rigid ladder frame into an overall frame construction made of high-strength cold-rolled and boron steel. The suspension is a simple but well-tuned Macpherson strut array up front with a rear solid axle and leaf springs.

Signature Edition Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake to get limited production run

Mon, Dec 22 2014

The upcoming Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang keeps grabbing a horde of headlines thanks in no small part to the pony car's 5.2-liter V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft, magnetic dampers and other go-fast goodies. However, as the new contender enters the ring, Shelby American is saying goodbye to the old GT500 and the company's even more powerful Super Snake version with its new Signature Edition model. Limited to a total of 50 conversions on 2007-2014 coupe or convertible GT500s, the Shelby American Signature Edition packages some of buyers' most common choices into a single vehicle with a few extra touches, as well. The heart of it all is a 3.6-liter Kenne Bell supercharger to replace the V8's standard blower and take power up to a claimed 850 horsepower for the latest models. To keep things running at the proper temp, the mill gets an upgraded radiator, heat exchanger and aluminum cooling tanks, too. The rear brakes are also improved to slow this stallion down. In addition to the boosted power, buyers get some extra style. These special Super Snakes are available in all of the colors available on them from Ford, plus a range of shades for the stripe, and the wide body package can also be added as an additional option. The limited version wears 20-inch forged wheels from Weld that are 9.5-inches wide at the front and 10.5-inches at the rear and feature Signature Edition center caps. Inside, there's a commemorative badge with Shelby's signature on the airbag cover and Signature Edition floor mats. Finally, customers get a day training at the track to learn how to control this beast as part of the package. Orders for the Signature Edition are being accepted through January 31, 2015, and the modded model is priced at $44,995.00, which is in addition to the price of the stock GT500. Read below for Shelby American's full announcement of this limited Mustang. SHELBY AMERICAN'S SIGNATURE EDITION GT500 SUPER SNAKE PACKAGES TO HONOR FINAL 2007-2014 MODEL YEAR CARS NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE · Shelby American to offer 50 total Signature Edition Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snakes · Special badging and stripe colors offered for every model year for first time in history · Offer expires January 31, 2015 LAS VEGAS – Dec. 20, 2014 –Shelby American, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc.
