I bought the vehicle from its original owner whos had it since the day it came from the factory. He had only driven it around town and his yard beings he had 12 acres. The truck had been sitting for 3 years when i had went and looked at it, he had started it everyday and kept up to par on its service oil change etc. i bought it for 1500 and have since then put about 3,000$ into it. that includes 2 new batteries 75 amp alternater had the heads cleaned up and new components installed, thicker head gaskets, valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket and oil cooler gaskets. Oil cooler replaced, 1 new injector and injector line, new injector installation kit, 3 top cog gold series v-belts, double pulley power steering pulley, Brand new water pump and thermostat, thermostat gasket, New fuel tank sending unit( both tanks work) new wheel cylinders wheel seals and Timken wheel bearings in the rear. The diff has been inspected and new royal purple gear oil, brand new brake shoes in rear and drums where resurfaced new brake hardware kits also. The truck has a Borg-Warner T-19 4 speed manuel trans with a newly installed NP-205 which has been inspected as well, custom made drive shaft with new u-joints, Manuel locking hubs 4 wheel drive does work, radiator flush by ford new upper and lower radiator hoses, new air filter, electric fans for cooling on a toggle switch. New radiator cap and oil filler cap, new front brake pads and hardware kits and rotors resurfaced as well, brand new starter, brand new blower motor and wheel, tanks were cleaned, Transmission had been flushed, 100,000 miles ago new master cylinder and brakes flushed new fluid installed, New wiper blades and wiper blade motor, Newer dash pad and door panels, the floor pans are in excellent condition, factory tinted rear window installed and all windows tinted new rear view mirrors (not on truck due to body work) kicker speakers and alpine 6 disc radio with remote the clutch is still very good, custom mossy oak headliner, has aftermarket oil/coolant/volts meters and then gauge pillar with EGT gauge, Trans temp gauge, and boost gauge which is hooked up but reads only sometimes i had installed it due to was going to turbo the truck. Truck had a stack on it but no longer does. The injector pump has been tuned up and works just fine, oil changed regularly and i run AMS oil 15w40 with an K&N 7.3 powerstroke oil filter oil was just changed and has an approx of 900 miles on it. The truck did have factory A/C in it which did work but i have gotten rid of it but you can always reinstall it if youd like, the truck has a lot of new parts on it and runs like a monster i drive it everyday and no problems, the seat isnt in the best shape but its normal wear and tear, im willing to work on the price with you if you dont try to beat me out of what i have into it and im offering to buy the ball joints and u-joints and align the truck if you make me a good offer and with a deposit down iv been a diesel mechanic for the military, and still am a certified tech to this day and have seen what they are going for in worse shape then mine, i will tell you the glow plugs do work fine they have all been tested but the solenoid is starting to act up here and there, i will also add the truck has an electric fuel pump installed i have had the oil pan off and to do the gasket and the eccentric for the mechanical lift pump was worn and could not find a new one to replace it so i bought a new mechanical pump and installed it but it does not work just there to keep the oil in, and electric pump works way better on these motors and gets better fuel milage also. I drive the truck to work everyday i work 30 minutes from home and have to fill it up once every two weeks, its average is about 26 miles per gallon highway and 22-23 city which is awesome, i also just had moved to florida from new jersey and drove the truck down i filled up 3 times only cost me 175$ so if your looking for good fuel economy in an older diesel truck you have found it i love the truck to death but its time for a new toy. I have extra parts for it including the original front drive shaft the old transfer case ( was rebuilding) so in pieces and a couple other parts for it i have an aftermarket tach for it and a tailgate which is not in bad shape, just not on the truck because it is newer mounting brackets and havent had time to buy and weld them on, the truck has the heavier duty springs in front and back and has the dana 61 full-float rear and the dana 50 IFS front axle the truck has 3.55s and factory posi thanks for looking!

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid

Thu, 02 May 2013

No Prius Killer
As much as we enthusiasts like to rail on the lowly Toyota Prius as the harbinger of death for all we hold dear, there's no denying the machine's absolute and interminable grip on the hybrid hatchback market in the United States. Toyota has so thoroughly sunk its teeth into the segment that you can clearly hear the automaker's incisors clacking against one another with the conclusion of each financial quarter. And there's little wonder why. Buyers can plop down less than $25,000 and have a runabout that can return up to an estimated 51 miles per gallon in the city, leaving every other entry on the market with precious little gristle to gnaw on.
Enter the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. With its claimed 47 mpg combined, the funky little hatch from Europe already falls behind the 48 mpg city offered by the Prius, but that marginal sacrifice in fuel economy could be a small price to pay for buyers who want a credible alternative to the stalwart Toyota. Unfortunately, like the Fusion Hybrid, the C-Max Hybrid had trouble even approaching its Environmental Protection Agency estimates during our time with the car.

Ford recalling nearly 700k Escape CUVs, C-Max hybrids over two separate safety issues

Fri, 09 May 2014

Poor 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.

Ford, Samsung shack up to bring regen braking to non-hybrid models [w/video]

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Ford must be desperate to get itself ready for the beach this summer because it is really trying to get into shape. Shortly after unveiling the Lightweight Concept that cut the weight of a Fusion down to that of a Fiesta, it's now the rest of the line's turn for improvement. The company is wrapping up a 10-year research project aimed at developing next-gen automotive batteries to improve efficiency.
Ford claims that 70 percent of its lineup will have stop/start tech by 2017. The key to this massive proliferation is its new dual-battery system that combines a lithium-ion battery with a lead-acid one and regenerative braking. The setup works by harvesting braking energy and converting it to electricity. When the vehicle stops, the engine shuts off, but the Li-ion battery has enough juice to keep the accessories running. The engine starts up again as drivers take their foot off the brake. The layout would mean less wasted gas while idling. It's already available on Ford hybrids and is somewhat similar to the i-Eloop capacitor-based system from Mazda.
The bigger challenge is tuning the regenerative braking right. While hybrid drivers may be a little more adventurous, when it comes to getting a hang of regen braking, conventional buyers might not be so open-minded. The systems have a tendency to be a little grabby at first and then taper off at very low speeds. Ford needs to make sure it's just right to avoid turning off buyers.
