2007 Ford F350 W/ Enclosed Service Body on 2040-cars
Greenville, Virginia, United States
I am shutting my business down and will no longer need this truck. It is a great running truck and gets good fuel mileage despite its size, usually around 16 mpg. I have keep the maintenance up on this truck because this is my only truck and I can't afford break downs. All of the fluids are changes every year, includes transmission, power steering, brake, antifreeze, differentials, and gearbox. The engine oil every 2 months. I have replaced many parts on the truck including, front wheel hub assemblies, tie rod end, shocks, steering stabilizer, ball joints, thermostat, coolant tank, STC fitting for HP oil pump, dummy plugs in fuel rail, front rotors and pads, rear brakes (rotors, pads, calipers, hoses), rear wheel bearings, all u-joints, carrier bearing. Most of these parts were replaced due to preventive maintenance. There are a few things that I haven't replaced, the right rear parking brake cable and the exciter ring in the rear differential. The original exciter ring somehow came off the ring gear and broke the rear speed sensor. It causes the ABS light it be on because I removed the exciter ring and haven't gotten around to replacing it. The speedometer stills works because the truck has a back up sensor in the transmission. The check engine light stays on due to the EGR system being disabled. The EGR system has caused issues with these 6.0 liter engines, so I modified it. There is a plug in the back of the EGR Cooler and the EGR valve is unplugged. I have also removed the catalytic converter because it puts a tremendous drag on the engine, I kept the original converter because it is a $1200 part. The STC fitting at the High Pressure oil pump was replaced because it is a common problem for the trucks, and the dummy plugs in rails where replaced because they are a common issue. The issues these two parts caused were when the truck was hot then shut down, the hot engine oil was thin enough to leak through these fittings causing the truck unable to start to until it cooled down. I have been very happy with this motor/transmission in this truck. It has the 6 speed torqshift transmission, a very strong transmission. It only shifts 5 times because it depends on the temperature and tow/haul function. Basically the overdrive is a gear, not the torque converter locking up in 5th gear. The truck also has supplement air bags installed on the rear axle. It makes it a really smooth ride. Also works great if hauling a heavy trailer because it eliminates the need for a load leveling hitch. I had a large camper that I hauled 4 times and tried it with and without the load leveler. Just simply pumping up the air bags to 40 psi was much better and a smoother rider then the load leveler. There are 5 wheels for the truck, 4 are polished chrome and 1 black steel spare. I have also keep the 4 rotors (front and rear) because they have enough steel to be turned. If you have any questions feel free to email me.

Woman trades 1914 Model T in for 2013 Corvette
Wed, 17 Apr 2013We're sure that dealers must see all sorts of interesting trade ins, but this one may take the cake. Red River Chevrolet in Bossier City, Louisiana, recently had a customer come in with an odd request. Tina Boyter wanted to trade in three vehicles on a brand-new 2013 Chevy Corvette. Among the hardware was 1980 Corvette, a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado and a 1914 Ford Model T. While the '80 Corvette had been her personal car for years, the '78 Eldorado had belonged to Boyter's mother before she traded up to a Lincoln. The big Caddy had just 10,290 miles on the clock when it was traded in.
And the Model T? Boyter says the car was built as a racer by Ford, and that it had been a show winner for years when it belonged to her father. But, after spending the last 16 years in a museum with its fluids drained, Boyter decided it was time to shed some of the past. She walked into the dealer, laid eyes on a white 2LT Corvette with a red interior and offered to trade all three of the vehicles in on the sports car.
Why not wait for the C7? "I fell in love with that one when I walked in the door," She said. We can't fault her there.
3dCarbon now offering body kit for Ford Fusion
Tue, 01 Oct 2013A factory-backed body kit by 3dCarbon is now available to Ford Fusion owners who want their car to stand out from the crowd while not being too flashy. The body kit adds a more aggressive front spoiler, side skirts, rear body trim and spoiler that are, in fact, integrated quite nicely into the Fusion's already-comely styling, just as 3dCarbon claims. All Fusions with the kit also receive dual exhaust ports with the stainless-steel exhaust surrounds usually reserved for the Titanium package Fusion EcoBoost models.
A nice detail of 3dCarbon's injection-molded urethane body kit is that it has undergone crash testing to certify that it can withstand crashes up to five miles per hour. Because of this, the kit is warrantied by 3dCarbon for five years or 50,000 miles, much like Ford's warranty on its own parts. In fact, the kit is available through participating Ford dealers and can be financed through Ford Motor Credit. Buyers can purchase the kit - pre-painted or unpainted - and install it themselves, or it can be purchased with a new Ford Fusion and installed at the dealer, pre-painted to factory specifications. Of course, it can also be ordered directly from the source. Take a look at the press release below for more detailed information on the body kit, and let us know what you think of it in Comments.
Court puts kibosh on apartheid lawsuit against Ford, Daimler
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Ford and Daimler have scored a major victory in a long-running lawsuit filed in US federal court by unnamed South African nationals. The suit alleges that both manufacturers and their subsidiaries sold their vehicles to the South African military, despite knowing that they'd be involved in violently putting down anti-apartheid protesters.
According to Reuters, South African plaintiffs filed the case under the 223-year-old Alien Torts Statute, a law which allows foreign nationals to file charges in US courts for perceived breaches of what was originally international law, but now more closely relates to violations of human rights.
And while the case - which also involves computer manufacturer IBM - has been tied up in federal courts for years, a recent case from the Supreme Court struck down a similar suit against Royal Dutch Petroleum (Shell), arguing that the ATS doesn't apply to corporations or to conduct if it occurred outside the US. In short, the law applies to individuals, but not corporations like Ford or Daimler. A US appeals court ruled that the conditions apply in this case, potentially drawing this long-running saga to a close, as the defendants will now be allowed to request that the case be dismissed in district court.
