Hi everyone, You are bidding on a 2003 Ford F450 crew cab with the powerful 6.0l turbo charged engine. This truck has the lariat trim package and so much more. It is the crew cab and has all the space you'll need for work and play. I acquired this truck from one of my customers that had an unexpected expense and was not able to pay me for the repairs completed. I am the lead diesel tech for our local dealership and have over 18 years of experience and hold a master certification. I have a side business maintaining and fixing diesel tow trucks, fleets, and also personal vehicles. I will describe this vehicle in sections, so i can be more exact in the description of this great truck.


The Exterior,

This truck is the crew cab body and is black in color. The previous owner said he had it repainted around a year ago and looks good. All panels are in good condition and nothing is falling off. The truck has small dents and scratches like you would expect to see in a truck of its age. Please see pics and judge for yourself. It shows well and has a good shine. The tailgate is the only part that has dents on it, but is a part that is easily replaced if you would want to. It locks and closes properly. The bumpers are in great shape and chrome shines like new. All decals are there and running boards are also in good shape, not cracked or hanging down. All glass is in great shape and no cracks. This truck has a heavy duty tow hitch and also has a gooseneck ball in the middle of the bed. It also has an electric brake controller that works fine. The bed has a hard foldable cover to protect whatever you put in it. All lights work fine and the bed and cab lights are LED's and look great at night.

Interior,

This truck has the lariat package, so interior is the highest trim package. It has leather seats and all the bells and whistles that come with this package. The interior condition shows normal leather wear, it has cracks in the leather in common areas of interior. I had the truck detailed and must admit, came out better than i thought. please see pics. The previous owner had a complete sound system installed from the alpine head unit, alpine amplifiers and custom bass enclosure behind the seats. It sounds great. All gauges work as they should and all systems from AC and heater system are 100% functional.

Wheels and tires,

The wheels on this truck are 19.5 inch wheels. They are in great conditions and the pictures prove it. The rear tires were worn out and decided to replace them before offering the truck for sale. They have only 10 miles on them!!!!!!!!! The front steer tires have about 85% to 90% of tread on them. Previous owner said they were replaced around 4 months ago. So you will get a truck with all NEW tires, and we all know how much these tires cost!! Also the tires are the bigger size (245) instead of (225) wider stance and stability.


Brakes and safety,

The front and rear brakes are NEW!!!!!!!  The right rear caliper was replaced due to small leak. I will not take any chances when it comes to safety!!!! caliper was replaced and fluid was also flushed. Truck stops on a dime.  ABS system also works fine and no codes in system.

Power train,

This truck has the powerful 6.0l turbo diesel engine. We all know that these engines had some issues, But I'm here to say that this engine has all those issues taken care of. This truck came to me because the turbo failed. I replaced the turbo at the customers request and noticed the engine had some leaks. I explained to the customer what was involved and he said to go ahead and reseal entire engine. I removed the engine and stripped it down to the short block. Cleaned all parts and not a bit of oil anywhere. During the process of replacing all seals from the oil pan to valve covers, The owner took my recommendations to replace some wear items like, glow plugs, glow plug harnesses and multiple injectors that came up during testing. For the record, ALL parts that were used are original replacement parts from ford. Every part was torqued to factory specs from oil pan bolts to especially the cylinder heads. Because the customer did not want to have any other issues, i convinced him to replace the oil cooler, high pressure pump, radiator, and install an EGR delete kit from sinister diesel. Keep in mind that he recently had a diesel programmer installed (SCT) and also has a full exhaust system installed as well. Lets not forget that the turbo is also new from ford. Ill end this by telling you that whom ever purchases this truck, I have all the pictures showing everything that was done to this truck. So don't take my word for it, see it with your own eyes!!

Transmission and final drive

Previous owner said that trans was replaced around 70k miles ago, and shifts perfectly. Rear end has no leaks and works as it should.

Fuel system,

This truck had twin fuel tanks and selector switch work as it should. Fuel gauge works and is accurate. The fuel filters were replaced along with the oil filter. 

All in all, This truck is ready to work!!! Please know that i reserve the right to end at any time due to it is also listed locally. Please feel free to ask any questions and i respond quickly. I don't have a buy it now price, but feel free to send an offer. If you live close to the chicago area, please feel free to set up a viewing or a test drive. 

P.S.   This truck has a great turbo whistle, and sounds like a beast when you hit the throttle. Good luck and happy bidding. I have a 100% feedback score for a reason!!! if you have a low feedback score, please contact me.

First retail 2015 Ford Mustang headed to Barrett-Jackson

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Want to be the very first person to own a 2015 Ford Mustang GT? Here's what you'll need to do: be in Scottsdale, AZ on January 18 for the Barrett-Jackson auction and bring a very big checkbook. Having a passion for charity isn't a bad idea either.
Yes, the first 2015 Mustang to be sold to the public will be crossing the block at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, with proceeds from the auction going to JDRF, the charity formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
"Ford Mustangs have always been among the most popular collector cars at Barrett-Jackson Collector Car events," said the president of Barrett-Jackson, Steve Davis. "While every collector wishes they had snapped up the first Mustang sold in 1964, this is an opportunity to realize that dream in a different way."

Watch how a Ford Raptor rolls down the assembly line in Dearborn

Sun, 30 Mar 2014

Bloomberg TV reporter Matt Miller is the proud new owner of a pretty killer truck. How do we know? The reporter headed to Dearborn, MI to Ford's assembly plant, with a film crew in tow, to see exactly how his new F-150 SVT Raptor and its mother-loving 6.2-liter V8 engine, was screwed together.
The resulting video does an excellent job of summing up how an assemblage of parts and pieces is turned into a triple-black Raptor, thanks to the work of some 1,000 employees and about 20 hours of real time. Click through below to see how the truck is born, with a surprise cameo playing the part of delivery driver at the end.

One Step at a Time
Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another.
Chuck Schwynoch had been patiently listening to my ramblings on the other end of the phone for a solid half hour. I'm not too big of a man to know when to ask for help, and at this point, I desperately needed some assistance. The truth is, working on a machine like a Fox Body Mustang is as easy as breathing thanks to the wealth of information available on the web. Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another, and odds are the sorry souls behind those builds shared the highs and lows of their torment with the internet community.
