2002 Ford F-350 on 2040-cars
Silvis, Illinois, United States
If you have any questions feel free to email me at: stephensrrenteria@britishlions.net .
This is my 2002 F350 XLT crew cab long bed. The truck came from California and is 100% rust free. Truck has been
stored winters in a heated shop and never been in snow or salt.The current photos posted are before i clean the
truck up. I want to give an accurate depiction of how it looks on a day to day biases as i drive it. Truck has been
meticulously maintained. Oil changes have been done every 2500-3000 miles using only motor craft oil and filters.
The truck goes through a complete service every winter. I personally remove the wheels clean everything check the
brakes, grease the caliper slide pins, inspect the u-joints and check the wheel bearings. The truck rides on a
fab-tech 4-link 8 inch lift with brand new 37 13.50 20 Toyo open country mud terrain tires. The tires are on forged
center-line wheels.Truck rides so much better with coil overs vs leaf springs. There was some bump steer with the
lift installed so i did a crossover steering kit from PMF with a redhead steering box , new Ford pump,lines and
hydro booster. The truck handles much better and has no issues turning the tires. The track bar was raised at the
same time to keep all of the geometry correct. When driving the truck exhibits much less body roll with the raised
track bar and tracks flat through corners. The engine runs perfect and uses no oil. All of the fuel and oil lines
have been resealed with o-rings from diesel o-rings.com. There are no leaks or drips. The turbo has ben replaced
with a Garrett GTP38R ball-bearing unit with a ww2. Also installed is a EBPV delete pedestal and flange.The turbo
spools much better. The transmission shifts flawlessly and has had regular flushes. There is some shudder under
take off and is related to the 2 piece rear drive shaft angle. I have a shop that will build a 1 piece shaft that
will solve the problem. I did not find it annoying enough to warrant going that route. There is a 6 position tuner
along with air intake exhaust and Isspro gauges. The exterior of the truck has genuine Ford 08 and up tow mirrors
05 Headlights and ridged led driving lights with rigid bracket kit.The paint is clean and is waxed regularly. There
is normal wear and tear, stone chips minor dings ect. Again 100% rust free. I have a set of fender flares to go
with it, also a set of PMF pinch weld covers.The AMP Research steps work flawlessly and are a great product. the
interior is near perfect no rips tears or stains. the sound system is all high end components.I did nothing cheap
on this truck. The truck runs and drive perfect needs nothing.the only item that does not work properly is the
isspro trans temp gauge.I believe it is the AMP box for it but i have yet to diagnose it. If this is a major
concern i will have it working.

Ford Fiesta ST orders off to strong start
Fri, 17 May 2013We at Autoblog love the new little Ford Fiesta ST, and apparently, folks in Europe are pretty impressed with it, as well. According to Ford, the automaker's European arm has already logged 3,000 orders for the new hot hatch since it hit dealerships this March. The US-spec car, which will only be available as a five-door, will go on sale in the United States this summer.
What's perhaps most interesting about the Fiesta ST ordering is that the majority of customers appear to be ordering high-spec cars. According to Ford data, 60 percent of customers have opted for the leather interior with Recaro buckets, and 90 percent have selected the upgraded 17-inch wheels (seen on our test car, above). Spirit Blue has been the most popular color, commanding 27 percent of all orders. As for the technology upgrades, 19 percent of customers have ponied up for the Sony stereo with navigation.
To recap, the Fiesta ST is offered with Ford's 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, putting out 179 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. We had an absolute blast flinging the hot Fiesta through the French Alps, and we can't wait for this sharp little hatch to make its way over to the States.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Ford recalling nearly 700k Escape CUVs, C-Max hybrids over two separate safety issues
Fri, 09 May 2014Poor Escape. Ever since its launch in 2012, Ford's small CUV has been the subject of many, many, many recalls. And today, The Detroit News is reporting that Ford is adding two more recalls to the 2013-14 model year Escape's permanent record, one of them also involves the C-Max hybrid hatchback.
The first recall, covering 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles, is due to a software glitch that could cause the airbags - specifically, the safety canopy - to not deploy in a timely fashion during rollover crashes. According to the News, Ford says no crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this problem.
The second recall, covering 692,700 Escapes, is related to the door handles. The News reports that the exterior door handles could open while the vehicle is in motion, and could also fail to latch properly. Once again, no crashes or injuries have occurred because of this. The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration has not issued an official notice on either recall as of this writing.
