I'M TEARING UP DOING THIS! HARD TO BELIEVE!. I LOVE THIS TRUCK!. I PURCHASED IN JAN,90 SO I COULD HAUL PARTS FOR MY LINCOLN PARTS BUSINESS!. THIS WAS MY EVERYDAY DRIVER TILL ABOUT 09/07. I NOT ONLY LOVED IT, I TOOK CARE OF IT! I MAINTAINED IT! IF IT NEEDED ANYTHING, IT GOT IT! IT WAS ALWAYS GARAGED! AND WHEN THE 2ND ENGINE WENT OUT BECAUSE OF CRACKED HEADS. I FOUND #3 ENGINE WITH A LEGITIMATE 50 K ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS ALL APART IN THE BED, SO HOW COULD THE ENGINE BE BAD? AFTER PRESSURE WASHING, I DROPED THE OIL PAN AND PUT IN OIL PUMP AND CLEANED AND PAINTED THE PAN.&THE REST OF THE ENG!. I PUT IN NEW PLUGS, WENT THROUGH THE DISTRIBUTOR AND PUT ON A NEW ELECTRONIC COMPUTER THING. WE TRANSFERRED THE WATER PUMP BECAUSE IT WAS NEW, NEW PLUGS, THERMOSTAT,FAN AND FAN CLUTCH, HOSES,BELTS ETC. THE ALUMINUM 4 ROW HEAVY DUTY RADIATOR WAS SERVICED AND REFILLED WITH ANTI FREEZE. THE TRUCK WENT 75 MILES AND OVERHEATED!!! I PARKED IT OUTSIDE AND BOUGHT A YR OLD FUSION!. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN MY BACK YARD SINCE FALL OF O7 AND BEING OUT HAS NOT MADE IT ANY BETTER IN CONDITION. THE CUSTOM PAINT I HAD PUT ON IN 1990 IS RESPECTIBLE , BUT SHOULD BE REDONE. YOU COULD TOUCH UP THE HOOD AND RT QUARTER (CLEARCOAT IS BAD) AND REDO THE STIPE AND SHE WOULD LOOK PRETTY GOOD. THE INTERIOR IS NICE AND IN GOOD SHAPE AND CARPET IS PERFECT!(SHOULD BE SHAMPOOED!) I HAVE ALL RECORDS SINCE 01/90!` THE TRUCK HAS ZERO RUST EXCEPT THE ROOF RAIN GUTTERS WHICH ARE BOTH RUSTY FOR SOME REASON! NEVER UNDERCOATED, IT IS SUPER TIGHT AND AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE WHEN IT'S RUNNING. SAVE YOUR KID AND MAKE IT A RESTORATION PROJECT AND KEEP HIM OR HER OFF DRUGS ETC! WORKED FOR MY KID! THE CHROME ON THE TRUCK IS INSANELY NICE!,BUMPERS,HANDLES,MIRRORS-BEAUTIFUL! GRILLE HAS A SMALL CRACK UNDER RT HEADLIGHT.(I HAVE A NOS FORD ALL CHROME GRILLE AVAILABLE). CARPETS ARE PERFECT! HAS OPTIONAL MATCHING FULL DOOR PANELS AND VENT WINDOWS. IF YOU HAVE A RUST BUCKET WITH A REBUILT 2.9 ENGINE, HERE IS YOUR VEHICLE. I WILL EVEN STORE IT FOR YOU HERE AT NO CHARGE, BUT YOU MUST PAY IN FULL WHEN THE SALE IS COMPLETED. I'M 74 AND HANDICAPPED AND UNABLE TO TAKE ON THIS PROJECT--OR I WOULD!!! MORE STUFF AND INFORMATION: THE DRIVE SHAFT GOT 3 NEW U-JTS,NEW TAILSHAFT SEALS AND TRANS SERVICED AT JUST OVER 400K MILES.IT ALSO GOT A NEW BOOSTER WITH MASTER,REBUILT P/S PUMP. THE ENGINE "LOOKS NEW" AND THE COMPARTMENT IS CLEAN , WITH NOTHING MISSING. THE BATTERY TRAY IS SOLID AND NOT RUSTED OUT! THE ALUMINUM 4 ROW RADIATOR SHOULD LAST YEARS. THE FRONT END IS GOOD AND KEPT UP AND ALWAYS ALLIGNED. I TOOKS PICTURES OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE DASH, BUT MY COMPUTER IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO FIND WHERE THEY ARE?? I ALSO HAVE MORE PHOTOS INCLUDING THE RAIN GUTTERS. I WILL MAKE SURE THE TRUCK HAS 4 TIRES HOLDING AIR FOR THE PICKUP. I HAD OLD SCHOOL WHITEWALLS ON 80'S LINCOLN WIRE WHEELS WORTH $800 IN MY BUSINESS. TODAY, IT'S ALL ABOUT 20 INCH RIMS AND BLACK TIRES, SO HAVE A BALL! JUST KEEP IT OUT OF THE WRECKING YARD!

Ford updates Power Stroke diesel V8, strengthens F-450, tweaks King Ranch
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford is giving its F-Series Super Duty trucks some upgrades for 2015, and we're happy to say that one of them is an improved Power Stroke diesel V8. Also, Ford is strengthening the top-of-the-line F-450 to handle more abuse. And if wild west-style luxury is your thing, the automaker has performed minor cosmetic updates to its King Ranch Edition trucks, as well.
The turbocharged 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 is currently rated at 400 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque, and Ford only tells us the new and improved Power Stroke can "produce power beyond today's" engine. What, then, did Ford actually improve upon? First, the Blue Oval swapped in a new, larger turbocharger. The new Garrett GT37 turbine unit is 72.5 millimeters in diameter, eclipsing the old GT32's 64-mm diameter piece. Ford states output increases with the new turbo setup, but since the new turbocharger operates at a lower peak pressure than the old one, the automaker was able to eliminate the wastegate system and reduce the engine's complexity. Ford even redesigned the turbo's oil and cooling lines to make the powerplant simpler. A byproduct of the larger turbo is better engine exhaust braking, which is controlled manually by a button on the dashboard.
Ford claims the upgraded diesel engine is more powerful, more robust, more efficient and more refined than before.

Ford made three big mistakes in calculating MPG for 2013 C-Max Hybrid
Tue, Jun 17 2014It's been a rough time for the official fuel economy figures for the Ford C-Max Hybrid. When the car was released in 2012, Ford made a huge deal about how it would beat the Toyota Prius V, which was rated at 42 combined miles per gallon, 44 city and 40 highway. The Ford? 47 mpg across the board. How did Ford come to this place, where its Prius-beater turned into an also-ran? Well, after hearing customer complaints and issuing a software update in mid-2013, then discovering a real problem with the numbers last fall and then making a big announcement last week that the fuel economy ratings of six different 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles would need to be lowered, the C-Max Hybrid has ended up at 40 combined, 42 city and 37 highway. In other words, the Prius trumps it, as daily drivers of those two vehicles have known for a long time. The changes will not only affect the window sticker, but also the effect that the C-Max Hybrid (and the five other Ford vehicles that had their fuel economy figures lowered last week) have on Ford's compliance with greenhouse gas and CAFE rules for model year 2013 and 2014. How did Ford come to this place, where its Prius-beater turned into an also-ran? There are two technical answers to that question, which we've got below, as well as some context for how Ford's mistakes will play out in the bigger world of green vehicles. Let's start with Ford's second error, which is easy to do since we documented it in detail last year (the first, needing to do a software update, was also covered). The basic gist is that Ford used the general label rule (completely legally) to test the Fusion Hybrid and use those numbers to figure out how efficient the C-Max Hybrid is. That turned out to be a mistake, since the two vehicles are different enough that their numbers were not comparable, despite having the same engine, transmission and test weight, as the rules require. You can read more details here. Ford's Said Deep admitted that the TRLHP issue is completely separate from the general label error from last year. Now let's move on to last week's announcement. What's interesting is that the new recalculation of the MPG numbers – downward, of course – was caused by a completely separate issue, something called the Total Road Load Horsepower (TRLHP). Ford's Said Deep admitted to AutoblogGreen that the TRLHP issue had nothing to do with the general label error from last year.
