I have for sell a 2005 Ford F650 with a caterpillar C7 engine and Allison transmission. The truck has a custom made
hood to fit the new f-series headlights, once the headlights were done being installed the truck was sprayed with
Titanium dioxide for the ultra pure white base for the pearls to be sprayed over. It has a mix of 6 different
pearls for the Titanium Dioxide base to have a different color shade depending on which angle you look at the truck
from. It has green, gold, blue, red, magenta and purple. When the sun is shining directly on the side and looks
greenish-goldish once the truck is in the shade or the sun is going down it the pearl starts to shift to gold-green
on the higher edges to blue-purple-red looking pearl hits over the Titanium Dioxide. Once the outside was finished
I had the interior swapped over to a full King Ranch leather interior with new carpet and real suede headliner. As
you may know this year model has the same school bus looking dash and a 1999-2007 f-350 so I had the dash board
swapped over to the newer 2008 and up dash board but it didn't stop there, before installing the dash it was sent
off to have the entire dash, windshield pillars, door pillars, the back cab pillars and door switch panels entirely
hydro dipped in mahogany to separate it from all the other trucks out there. Once the new dash was installed the
truck was taken to Augusta Ga to have the new 2008 and newer style gauge cluster with white led lights to
illuminate the dials. For the sound system I had a Kenwood touch screen radio put into the dash with Alpine type-R
component speakers for the highs and 3 12" pioneer ib Flat subwoofers behind the rear seat. The entire truck is
covered with 2 layers of sound deadening material. All the power and ground wires on the truck have been swapped
over to 0 gauge wire running to the stereo, amplifiers, all 3 batteries and the alternator. After the interior was
finished the attention was back to the exterior with the installation on the triple step stainless steel fuel
tanks. They will hold about 130-140 gallons per side. For the big tough look I had 385/65r22.5 Firestone tires on
the steers with Alcoa wheels and 315/80r22.5 Firestone tires on the drives on Alcoa wheels. For the rear suspension
I had K&L customs install Air Liner air suspension to smooth out the ride and on the front it has the stock Ford
suspension with the addition of Fox Racing remote reservoir shocks. For peace of mind the truck has a Viper remote
start alarm with GPS tracking that is smart phone compatible for real time tracking of where the truck is location
direction and speed it's traveling. It also has a KVH satellite TV system on the rails of a Cadillac Escalade EXT
roof rack.
For the bad:
Truck does not have a air compressor installed for the air suspension. It has a air valve for manual filling. With
normal driving it requires air about once every 3 weeks. I have a TruFlo 550 engine driven compressor that I will
include with the truck for the new owner to install.
The RPM gauge on the cluster does not read as the cat engine puts out a different signal than the gauges I found
would accept. I'm sure someone out there can fix it I just haven't found the right person
to do it.

Ford Explorer problems gutted third-quarter sales

Tue, Oct 22 2019

In early September, the Detroit Free Press published a feature noting numerous problems Ford's having with the 2020 Explorer and 2020 Lincoln Aviator launches. Issues with both SUVs, built at Ford's Chicago Assembly Plant, were so rife and dire that the automaker was trucking the vehicles 275 miles away to Michigan for repairs. Bloomberg reported earlier this month that Explorer's third-quarter sales dropped 48 percent compared to the previous model in 2018, with dealers unable to get enough units on lots for customers. Nor is the snafu over: Automotive News reports that another "batch of about 2,500 Explorers in need of repairs" arrived recently in Michigan, and sales through the first nine months of 2019 are down 31 percent. Sales dips during model changeovers are to be expected as old inventory gets sold down and new production ramps up, but this is different. Ford U.S. sales boss Mark LaNeve told Bloomberg earlier this month, "We’ve got adequate inventory in our stores. For Q4, availability wonÂ’t be an issue. WeÂ’ll be able to hit our stride with Explorer starting now." It's hard to know whether that's true, with thousands of Explorers still piling into Michigan; the batch AN mentioned represents about 5 days of sales during an average month in 2018, before the drawdown and interruptions hampered matters. And when Consumer Reports tested the Ford Explorer it bought this summer, it titled the review, "2020 Ford Explorer drives nicely but has many flaws / Poor interior quality and a high price overshadow the SUV's improvements."   On top of that, the AN piece mentions a new impediment to uncorking the Explorer sales stream: Worker strife in the Chicago plant. Allegedly, "Roving groups of workers are intimidating other employees, creating a hostile environment, the people said. ThatÂ’s driving up turnover and leaving some vehicle assembly unfinished, contributing to the company having to complete the work at the Michigan factory or at dealerships, the people said." Ford's been fined twice before for the same kinds of issues at its plants, once in 1999, again in 2017, but a spokesperson said Ford isn't aware of any such problems now. The pressure otherwise has got to be unpleasant for everyone on the Explorer team, from CEO Jim Hackett down. The automaker was meant to be "turning the corner" in April, but as of now, shares are down, credit rating is down, earnings are down.

'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."

Hot-selling Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator get production boost

Mon, Feb 12 2018

Ford is investing an additional $25 million in its Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville to increase by 25 percent production of the hot-selling and all-new Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition SUVs. The investment adds to $900 million in previously announced spending at the plant, which also builds F-Series Super-Duty pickups and employs 8,400 workers. Assembly-line workers are putting in overtime and working voluntary weekend shifts to keep up with demand. The new investment will cover upgrades to the assembly line but does not involve further hiring, Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker says. The popularity of the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator is a bright spot as Ford stock has been battered by Wall Street amid concerns concerns about the automaker's future vision and slowness to detect trends. Ford says the investment is an example of its bid to improve "operational fitness," one of CEO Jim Hackett's common refrains. Ford says Navigator retail sales more than doubled in January, and Navigators are spending an average of just seven days on Lincoln dealership lots as customers trade in vehicles including Land Rovers and Mercedes-Benz. Nearly 85 percent of buyers are opting for high-end Black Label and Reserve trim packages, contributing to an average transaction price increase of more than $21,000 in January compared to a year ago. The 2018 Navigator won the North American Truck of the Year award and also topped a Detroit News poll of public favorites at last month's Detroit Auto Show. Sales of the Expedition, meanwhile, were up almost 57 percent last month as the full-size SUVs also spent an average of just a week on dealer lots. Platinum trim models represented 29 percent of sales, pushing transaction price increases up $7,800. Ford gave the 2018 Expedition an all-aluminum body to save mass in its first significant redesign since 2007. The plant last year got nearly 400 new robots, mainly in the body shop, to help increase line speed, and Ford added a robot lab where employees can test software tweaks or troubleshoot issues away from the factory floor. The Louisville plant also benefits from extensive new data analytics, with seven big-screen monitors providing minute-by-minute updates showing progress against hourly targets or alerting workers to pending parts shortages. A huge spare-parts "vending machine" lets workers more quickly locate needed parts and keep inventory at necessary levels.
