2001 Ford Ranger Edge extended cab 2WD with EFI small block (SBF) V8 tuned by Aric at Injected Engineering (conservative 246rwhp/303ft-lbs @ 4700 RPM). Scat 331 stroker kit with forged SRP pistons (9.5:1, ready for boost/nitrous), Scat forged rods, and Scat cast crank in a 1992 Mustang 302 block. Twisted Wedge Track Heat aluminum heads (2.02/1.60 valves), Anderson B25 roller cam, 1.6 roller rockers, custom Torque Monster headers, GT40 intake, 24lb injectors, Lightning MAF, custom true dual side-exit exhaust w/ high-flow cats and magnaflow muffler, big 3-core all aluminum radiator, and a 4R70W automatic transmission with modified valve body plate (shifts firm), 8.8 w/ 3.55 gears and freshly rebuilt cobra kevlar posi and SN95 Mustang disk brake conversion. EFI is a reprogrammed 1999 Ford Explorer factory ECU; I took the time to get the passive anti-theft system (PATS) completely operational using parts out of a 98 Explorer and had a key programmed and custom cut to work with the factory locks. All gauges and lights work as they should. New adjustable rear air shocks and heavy-duty rear springs, new factory engine mounts, new alternator; ball joints, tie rods, and front shocks changed just before the engine swap.
Good daily driver with functional heat and AC (new condenser, drier, and seals- blows nice and cold; best "mod" ever for Atlanta in the summer), power steering, cruise control, a factory in-dash 6-disc changer, ABS, power brakes, new front and rear pads with new rear rotors, and plenty of tread on the tires. The engine has about 6000 miles on it but the body/chassis has around 189,XXX miles (driven 40 miles daily, this will go up). The truck passed emissions with the V8 last year and is registered with the state as having a V8 in it; it's not showing any codes on a scan tool and does not have a check engine light on. The truck has a few miles on it and the body and interior show some age, but it's a really decent rust-free southern truck.
For reference, in good condition KBB values this truck at over $5000 with the original 3.0L V6 and I have A LOT more than $4500 in parts into this truck along with a few hundred hours of labor. Injected Engineering in Kennesaw dyno-tuned the fuel injection, is familiar with this truck, and can provide future service, programming, etc... Will also come with several factory Electrical Vacuum and Troubleshooting Manuals (EVTM).
Clean and clear GA title in-hand. Email me if you'd like specific pictures of something.

Man chases down truck thief and steams it all on Facebook
Thu, Oct 13 2016A Washington man chased down a truck stolen from his family's dealership last Saturday and livestreamed the event on Facebook. According to KOMO, a 2005 Ford F-250 was stolen from Sunrise Auto Sales in Eatonville, Washington on the morning of October 8. Aaron Babcock, who co-owns the small dealership with his father David, told reporters that after reviewing surveillance footage, he later spotted the truck while riding his motorcycle on Webster Road East. "I watched my cameras and found the video of a man lurking around and ending up taking off with my truck," Babcock told KOMO. "Cops came and made a case. Three hours later I was on my motorcycle in Graham, and they drove by me oncoming. It still had dealer stickers on it. It said diesel on the window and it had our dealer plate on it. It stuck out like a sore thumb. It was really easy to see." Once he spotted the stolen Super Duty, he wheeled his bike around and gave chase. He attempted to call 911, but was unsure if the dispatcher heard him due to noise from the wind and the bike's engine. So he fired up Facebook live and started streaming his chase, giving running commentary and updating his location as he chased the slow-moving truck. "I wasn't going to let him get away. I was going to try follow him down. I had no idea what to do," Babcock said. "Nobody could hear me on the phone so I just figured the first thing to do is pull up Facebook live." Babcock's Facebook friends pitched in by calling 911 to report the chase and even jumping in their own cars to follow the truck. At one point, he pulled alongside the truck and recognized both men in the cab. The driver was the man seen lurking around the dealer lot in the surveillance video, and the passenger was an old friend of Babcock's. "I know who you are!" he shouted at them, but the hunkered down and kept driving. Eventually, Babcock lost cell phone signal and the livestream ended. Eatonville police, who by this point were well aware of the incident, caught up with the truck in the 8400 block of 356th Street South in Eatonville. The driver was arrested and the passenger was questioned and released. Both denied stealing the vehicle or knowing it was stolen. Two sets of keys from Sunrise Auto Sales and a stolen credit card were also recovered from the truck. Related Video
Ford Recalls Nearly 700,000 Vehicles
Fri, May 9 2014Ford is recalling more than 692,000 Escape small SUVs and C-Max gas-electric hybrids in North America to fix two safety problems. The recalls cover vehicles from the 2013 and 2014 model years. Most of the Escapes have both problems. The first case covers 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles. A software glitch can stop the side curtain air bags from inflating in certain types of rollover crashes. The company says it has no reports of crashes or injuries. Dealers will reprogram the air bag control computer for free. About 65,000 of the recalled vehicles are C-Max models, and the rest are Escapes. Roughly 591,000 are in the U.S., with 3,500 more in U.S. territories. About 78,000 are in Canada and another 19,500 are in Mexico, Fordspokeswoman Kelli Felker said in an e-mail. There could be more vehicles affected in other markets, the company said. The affected Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011 through Feb. 14, 2014. The C-Max vehicles were built from Jan. 19, 2012, through Feb. 24, 2014. The second case covers about 692,700 Escapes. Exterior door handles can bind and stop the door from latching properly. This could allow doors to open while the SUVs are in motion. Dealers will inspect the handles and reposition them if needed. No crashes or injuries have been reported. About 583,000 are in the U.S. or its territories, with another 89,500 in Canada and 20,000 in Mexico. Ford said in this case, the problem may affect vehicles in other markets. All the North American Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011, through April 10, 2014. Recalls Ford escape
Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average
Tue, 11 Jun 2013We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).
