2001 Ford Lightning Whipple Supercharger And Jlp Bassani Exhaust, Super Clean on 2040-cars
Provo, Utah, United States

You may have noticed the truck is relisted. This is because the other buyer was not able to work out everything as far as crossing the border/ customs to Canada. He thought about driving it back but had trouble completing the passport application process so we made a mutual decision to move on.
No trades. You can see walk around video at http://youtu.be/H4SnqGhzqVc Video for start-up, idle, and revs at : http://youtu.be/5SntTfVrYFM I bought this truck when it had about 7500 miles on it. It has never been wrecked. I am selling it only because of job commute and because of the snow here, I decided to just keep my AWD vehicle and sell this one. Only about 6000 miles since engine rebuild and there is NOTHING wrong with the motor at all. It is basically new. As you can see in pics, I took excellent care of it and did not drive it much at all except for short mileage commutes to work and the like which is why the mileage is so low. Always garage kept and only sat outside when I was at work and even then that was in the shade far away from other cars. When it arrives at your home, I think you'll freak at just how good the paint and body look. Truck got a few rock chips on the front edge of the hood but I touched those up with correct color code paint. Only noticeable when really close up to the truck.

This truck is in exceptional condition. Exhaust is designed to have the four primary tubes slip into collectors. The top inside primary does not seal very well so there is an exhaust leak that you can hear at start up and at certain rpms. It was tack welded but the weld broke so you could tack it again. If my plan were to keep the truck, I'd have probably just had the header welded together as a solid unit. This truck does not throw any check engine lights or codes. In my county, I could have two "not ready" codes. This truck will read "not ready" for the egr and the evap system when doing an obd II test. Both systems are intact and complete on the truck. They needed to adjusted on the tune so as to read "ready" but I never got around to it and it did not matter for my county. Again, no codes/check engine lights come up at all. It just reads not ready when you plug into the obdII port. So keep in mind that you will need to have a tune adjustment if your county/state allows only one not ready code. But then again, it is recommended that you dyno tune and adjust your tune anyway for your specific altitude to get the air/fuels right anyway. The truck usually starts up on the first turn of the key but about 1/4 of the time the engine might turn over for 2 or 3 extra seconds before starting . It was not a big deal so I never worried about it but that can be tuned out if you are extremely particular. I was told that adjusting the crank pulse width on the tune would solve that. Front tires have full tread on the outside but have some wear on the inside one to two inch area where it came out of alignment. I do not think you will have any problem on this and the safety guy passed me with no questions (and I did not even know him). Truck was, of course, re-aligned after I noticed it had come out back then. Then for good measure I aligned the truck again on June 26th 2014 before I posted the truck on eBay. The rear tires are down to the wear indicator bars though and will definitely need to be replaced when you have it inspected. I thought about replacing them but decided not to and to let the buyer decide what tires they wanted in the back (i.e. drag radials or street tires). Just know that they will have to be replaced. Currently the tires are Nitto 555's. This truck has no spare tire provisions. 4inch sail panel that covers the lock mechanism of the tailgate from the inside is not there, but that is covered up by the bed-rug. The cruise control button doesn't work. I'm sure it's probably just a switch and a simple fix but I never drove far enough to care. It does have the FoMoCo cruise control harness upgrade that the dealership installed though. Occasionally the digital odometer/tripometer display will go blank but it always comes back on after a few starts or randomly while driving if it does this. Brand new items include the rear brake pads, windshield, AEM wideband kit, and battery. I will help you find shipping options. I have a good friend who ships cars all the time and he knows some of the best places to look already. I will give you 5 shipping quotes that you can choose from to help out and they will ship from my garage to yours. Of course, buyer is covering the shipping but I will get you the best prices possible. Again, no trades. I am not interested in trades. Current mileage is 71,969 but it may be driven slightly. |

Ford's Troller introduces even more rugged T4 SUVs in Sao Paulo
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Bronco may be long gone from Ford dealerships back home, but down in Brazil its spirit lives on in the Troller brand. Founded independently in 1995, Ford do Brasil took over Troller in 2007 and has been teasing us with its rough-and-tumble SUVs ever since. So with the Sao Paulo Motor Show coming up, Troller has revealed this special version of the T4.
Looking even more rugged than the existing three-door sport-ute, this special T4 packs a snorkel, winch, upgraded bumpers and knobbier tires. We're not sure what to make of the "sophisticated" brown and tan paint job, but send it north and the Jeep Wrangler would have a new challenger on its hands... especially since the Toyota FJ Cruiser was discontinued.
Alongside the version seen here, Troller will also exhibit another T4 outfitted for rescue workers. Scope out initial details of both in the press release below, enclosed in both its original Portuguese and auto-translated into English.
Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors
Wed, 13 Mar 2013The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.
Ford turns Navistar from truck business customer to rival
Mon, 19 May 2014There is a showdown brewing in the medium-duty truck segment next year as Ford prepares to launch its all-new, in-house engineered 2016 F-650 and F-750. It finally marks the end of the Blue Diamond joint venture between Ford and Navistar and, making the two entities direct competitors instead of partners.
Ford announced the end of the joint venture in an investor report in 2011, but it didn't reveal the new F-650 and F-750 until the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, in March. Unlike the current, Mexican-built models, the new generation will be built in Avon Lake, OH, starting in mid-2015.
The challenge from Ford comes during a rough patch for Navistar. The company had a $248 million loss in the first quarter, according to The Wall Street Journal, and its medium-duty truck market share is currently down to 26 percent, from 36 percent in 2011. Building the previous-generation Fords brought in about $400 million a year to Navistar, according to the WSJ. To take on its former partner, Navistar plans to offer its International brand of medium-duty vehicles with more engine and transmission options to customers. It even struck a deal with Cummins to put its diesels in some of the models.
