The truck is in fantastic condition and has very low miles.  Other than putting on Gatorback belts and a K&N air filter, the engine and trans are completely stock and in perfect condition.  The truck has been lowered (the correct way) by using Ford Racing lowering springs in the front, and Belltech leaf springs in the rear.  After it was lowered the truck was taken for an alignment.  I also used shock extenders in the rear so the ride is close to stock and there isn't any premature wear on the rear shocks.  The truck comes with a trailer hitch and both the headlights and fog lights have been upgraded to HID lights, the reverse lights and bed lights have been upgraded to super bright white LED bulbs.  For the interior, I had a custom upholstery shop modify the front passenger seat to allow space to put in a center console from a Ford Expedition.  The shop did an absolutely fantastic job on the seat, and I bolted in the center console after tapping the factory drilled holes.  For some reason Ford pre drills all of the holes needed for a center console (F-150's must come off the same assembly line as the Expeditions), so the console bolts in perfectly.  As you can tell by the photos, it looks great.  In the center console I installed an UltraGuage that connects to the cars computer via the OBD II port.  This gives me all of the stats on the car that I could want.  You can check out their website at Ultra-Gauge.com.  I have also installed a Sony double din 7" touchscreen DVD/CD/MP3 player with an HD Radio and XM tuner.  I am also leaving in the Sony AMP and 10" subwoofer (built in a custom box that is installed behind the passenger seat).  The wheels I have put on are chrome 20” Lightning reproduction rims.  I wanted bigger wheels that were chrome but still wanted the factory look.  They have BF Goodrich tires that have less than 1000 miles on them.  The trucks fluids have all been changed every year.  The truck also comes with all of the 2003 Ford F-150 Service Manuals/Wiring Diagrams.  The truck is in really, really good condition.  The only issue is that there is a chip in the plastic of the passenger side mirror (about $100 to replace through Ford) and the chrome is chipping off the passenger door handle..  All four brake calipers have been professionally powder coated red.  The truck also comes with the Ford OEM soft tonneau cover which is in great condition, and the bed itself has a spray in bed liner.  Please send me an email if you have any questions.

Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.

Ford Escort returns, just not for US

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

Ford is set to give the burgeoning Chinese market its very own C-segment model, while also reviving one of the brand's more notable nameplates. The new Escort, which will make its world debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show will be built in the People's Republic at the Changan Ford joint venture facility.
The Escort's exterior is best thought of as a mix of the finer points from the US market Focus and Fusion, with the Aston Martin-ish grille and narrow, wraparound taillights presenting a clean look at either end of the car. It's all fairly true to the concept car from last year's Shanghai Motor Show. That said, this exterior job is almost too clean. There doesn't seem to be a lot of character or substance beyond the typical Ford looks.
There's a similar issue in the cabin - it all looks pretty nice, but the design is rather plain, particularly when viewed alongside the display-filled cabin of a US-spec car. Still, there looks to be a fair amount of space in both the front and back seats, and the trunk isn't exactly tiny, either.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
