7.3l Diesel Crewcab With Fontaine Body Classic Cruiser Package on 2040-cars
Warren, Michigan, United States
|
Condition: In good condition for it's age, ready to go anywhere, well maintained, within the past year new brakes, new front tires, and new batteries.
Features: Fonataine body with 70+ gallon dual tank with automatic leveling pump, CB radio, brake controller, 5th wheel, boxes in the bed for spare tire and storage, bumper hitch, rear air bags with automatic pump. These trucks were built to tow. History: I believe I am the 3rd owner. Originally a Canadian truck (hence the kilometers). Used to tow race cars for the for most of it's life. It hasn't seen snow/salt. Frame and body are in excellent condition. I've had it for the past 2-3 years and continued to use it just to tow my race car. I've maintained it to be a reliable tow vehicle. The only reason I'm selling is I'm downsizing to a single rear wheel truck so I do not have to run commercial plates in my home state (MA requires commercial plates for dually trucks). The 7.3L diesel is known to be reliable. This is the engine that put the super duties on the map. They do not blow out injectors or destroy turbos like the 6.0L engines on. It should be good for several more hundred of thousands of miles if maintained. The transmission has been replaced by the prior owner. I do not know how many miles are on this one. I rebuilt the differential and it should be good. There are some wear and noise from the bearings, but not enough that I replaced them. The transmission functions without issues. Any other things that have come up have been fixed and maintained. If you have any questions please ask. These trucks where $70K when new. You would be hard pressed to find a truck that can tow this amount without spending a lot more. If you do not need to tow anything, buy a different truck. Shipping and Payment: ****NOTE**** I live in MA, but the rig and race car are stored in MI. The truck is currently located in Warren, MI and that will be the site for pick up or the origin site for shipping. Cash in person pick up or cleared cashiers check. If you cannot pick up the vehicle in person it is up to you to arrange, and pay for shipping. The truck will not be released until funds are transferred and secured. To aide in shipping the truck can be at a place of business to make pick up easier. |

Expert: 54.5 mpg CAFE standard can be reached without many plug-ins
Sat, Jan 18 2014Johnson Controls executive Brian Kesseler isn't likely to get any holiday presents this year from Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn or Tesla Motors head Elon Musk, but lots of other folks might be happy with what he has to say about automakers' efforts to reach stricter fleetwide fuel-economy standards. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress, Kesseler said automakers wouldn't need to sell an extensive number of plug-in vehicles in order to meet the 54.5 mile per gallon Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard the US government set in 2012 for 2025 model-year vehicles. In fact, he said, components such as stop-start engine technology, turbochargers and direct injection may actually do the trick. Already, things like smaller engine sizes and lighter cars are already playing major roles in spurring fuel-efficiency gains. Of course, Johnson Controls sells batteries specially built for stop-start systems, so Kesseler does have a bit of skin in this game. The 54.5-mpg CAFE standard equates to about a 40-mpg "real world" fuel-efficiency level. To put that into perspective, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in a report late last year that model-year 2013 average fuel economy was an even 24 mpg. That was up from 23.6 mpg for the 2012 model year and 22.4 mpg for 2011.

Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.
