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 Focus ST diesel estate in track showdown with Focus ST hatch
Sun, Jan 18 2015Diesel hot hatches are still a concept that's gaining ground. Obviously, there are none for sale in the US, but European buyers have the choice of at least the Volkswagen Golf GTD and Ford Focus ST Diesel. What better way to find out how the new, high-performance oil-burner really stacks up than for Ford to stage a race against the gasoline-fueled Focus ST? On paper, the ST Diesel is at a big performance detriment here. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque compared to 247 hp and 266 lb-ft for the gas version in this race. However while not a factor for this race, the oil-burner does offer better fuel economy and produces less CO2, which makes a difference for European buyers. Ford skews the race results by giving the ST Diesel Estate a two-second head start for this one-lap battle around the Castle Combe Circuit. Also, this is a video from the Blue Oval, which is going to further minimize the appearance of weakness for its vehicles. Still, both STs really get to show off their strengths, and it's worth seeing how the sibling rivalry shakes out at the finish line.
Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales
Tue, 22 Apr 2014The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.
Ford Mustang EcoBoost has fake engine soundtrack
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost represents a huge change for the Blue Oval as the first pony car in decades to be available with a four-cylinder engine. But a recent tweet (below) from Road & Track raised our curiosity about the new vehicle. Editor Jason Cammisa pulled a fuse while driving the latest 'Stang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, and he found that both the stereo and engine went quiet in the cabin. That indicated the coupe might have some form of artificial engine sound being piped in - a feature not previously heavily reported for the model. Autoblog spoke with Ford engineer Shawn Carney who confirmed that only the turbocharged four-cylinder Mustang comes with this system, called Active Noise Control.
