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.

Performance cars driving sales gains

Wed, Jun 3 2015

We're living in a fantastic time for performance cars. For drivers, there are a bevy of exciting models either already here or on the way that cater to different demographics within the niche, like the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata, Ford Shelby Mustang GT350 and Dodge's Hellcat-powered products. While trucks and crossovers still offer a booming market at the moment, sporty vehicles are another way for automakers to make some cash, too. According to Ford Performance director Dave Pericak speaking to Automotive News, "Performance vehicle sales around the world continue to grow – with sales up 70 percent in the United States and 14 percent in Europe since 2009." Automakers love this popularity because the sporty models create a perfect storm to make big money on each sale. One reason for the strong margins is that performance vehicles are generally based on existing models or platforms. That keeps development costs lower and allows for a focus on tech like turbocharging or light-weighting to subsidize investments for future products. When it comes time to arrive in the showroom, automakers can load them with equipment, according to Automotive News. With transaction prices already growing thanks to longer loans, buyers have been willing to pay more as of late, as well. The customers in the segment also tend to be younger and more affluent. For example, 30 percent of customers for Ford's ST models have a household income over $100,000 and Millennials buy them twice as much as other products from the brand, according to Automotive News. Despite popular myths, young people still like to drive, which could mean possible return customers. The performance trend certainly isn't on the wane yet. In fact, vehicles like the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Focus RS and Fiat 124 Spider show more fun is on the way.

Ford finds flex-fuel engine design plays big role in emissions output

Mon, Jan 6 2014

How bad is ethanol for your engine? There's been a lot of debate on this issue as the US considers upping the biofuel content in the national gasoline supply from 10 percent (E10) to 15 percent (E15). The ethanol industry and some scientists say higher ethanol blends show no "meaningful differences" in new engines while the oil industry says ethanol creates health risks. Researchers working at the Ford Research and Innovation Center decided to take a closer look at how a wide range of gas-ethanol blends - E0, E10, E20, E30, E40, E55 and E80 - affected the emissions coming out of a flex-fuel 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. To see the full report, printed in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, requires payment, but there is an abstract and Green Car Congress has some more details. The gist is that, "with increasing ethanol content in the fuel, the tailpipe emissions of ethanol, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, methane, and ammonia increased." At least NOx and NMHC emissions decreased. The researchers say that the effects are due to the fuel and "are expected for all FFVs," but that the way that a manufacturer calibrates the engine will affect NOx, THC, and NMOG emissions. It's this last bit that's important, since the researchers found, "Higher ethanol content in gasoline affects several fundamental fuel properties that can impact emissions. ... These changes can have positive or negative effects that can depend on engine design, hardware, and control strategy. In addition to direct emissions impacts, higher ethanol content fuel can also provide more efficient combustion and overall engine operation under part-load conditions and under knock-limited higher-load conditions." So, as we head towards more ethanol in our fuel supply (maybe), manufacturers are going to need to learn how to burn it most efficiently.

Autoblog joins Elon Musk and Danica Patrick in accepting ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Unless you've been living in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods for the last couple of weeks or abstain entirely from social media activities, you've probably seen someone you know dump a bucket of ice and water over their own head recently. While the origins of the so-called Ice Bucket Challenge are shrouded in a history typical of Internet memes, its effectiveness in raising money and awareness for the ALS Association has been astonishing.
Celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, sports, technology and more have generated untold millions of video views in support of the organization that is helping patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease), and generated a much needed influx of cash, as well. Recent reports have some $15.6M raised in the last two weeks.
Of course, the big-hearted world of automotive celebrities has taken part in the drenching charity effort as well. Follow on below for some of the biggest names on four wheels getting iced for charity, with a smattering of your favorite Autobloggers thrown in for good measure.
