ALWAYS BEEN A FAMILY VEHICLE!!

UP FOR AUCTION TODAY IS MY 2002 FORD EXCURSION 4X4 WITH THE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER 7.3 LITER POWERSTROKE DIESEL! I HAVE OWNED IT FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS. I BOUGHT IT FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHICH WAS THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP OWNERS WIFE BACK IN JAN. 2006. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY STOCK EXCEPT FOR THE HUSKY LINER FLOOR MATS WHICH WERE PLACED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VEHICLE. THEY ARE STILL IN IT TODAY. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT, WE HAD A BANKS SYSTEM PUT IN FROM GAIL BANKS ENGINEERING OUT OF ASUZA, CA. WE ACTUALLY HAD IT INSTALLED IN CA. AT BANKS. THE WHOLE INSTALL TOOK ABOUT 3 DAYS. WE PUT THE MOST INTO IT YOU COULD PUT AT THE TIME AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER! THE UPGRADES INCLUDE THE POWERPACK W/ STINGER STACKED WITH THE BIG HOSS BUNDLE WHICH BASICALLY UPGRADED THE EXHAUST, INTERCOOLER, TURBO, AIR FILTER SYSTEM (K&N) AND THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. GOING TO CALIFORNIA, WE WERE AVERAGING 17 MPG AND COMING BACK HOME WE WERE GETTING 19 MPG!! THAT'S DRIVING NORMAL. THIS THING HAS PLENTY OF POWER IF NEEDED. ALSO, WE HAD THE BANKS TRANSCOMMAND INSTALLED TO RAISE THE LINE PRESSURE TO THE TORQUE CONVERTOR WITH THE EXTRA HORSEPOWER. WE NEVER PULLED ANYTHING WITH IT OTHER THAN A LITTLE UTILITY TRAILER WITH A 4-WHEELER. IT WAS MOSTLY USED AROUND TOWN BY MY WIFE AND FOR THE LONG TRIPS TO DISNEY AND CALIFORNIA. MAINTENANCE WISE, I HAVE ALWAYS USED ROYAL PURPLE IN THE ENGINE. THE TIRES STILL HAVE GOOD THREADS ON THEM. THE FIRST BREAK DOWN PARTS FINALLY HAPPENED TO US THIS YEAR. BACK IN MAY OF LAST YEAR, WE HAD THE HPOP CHANGED. THIS IS THE HIGH PRESSURE OIL PUMP. WE INSTALLED AN ADRENALINE PUMP WHICH HAS A 2 YEAR 24,000 MILE WARRANTY WHICH IS TRANSFERRABLE TO THE NEXT PERSON, I ALREADY CALLED THEM UP. THIS PUMP GAVE IT A BETTER RUN FROM TAKE OFF. ALSO, A NEW ALTERNATOR AND SERPENTINE BELT WAS PUT ON RECENTLY. **THIS WAS A SOUTHERN TRUCK IT'S WHOLE LIFE** NO RUST WHATSOEVER!! I TRIED TO COVER MOSTLY EVERYTHING I COULD HERE AND THE UPPER DESCRIPTIONS. I AM AN HONEST PERSON AND WILL NOT LIE ABOUT THE CONDITION OR TRY TO COVER IT UP WITH SOME QUICK PAINT OR ARMOR ALL. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. THE VEHICLE WAS USED BY MY FAMILY OF SIX WITH NO ISSUES. IT HAS BEEN GREAT TO US, BUT IT IS TIME TO LET IT GO TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO CAN PUT ANOTHER COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES ON IT. I WILL TRY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT COME UP IN A TIMELY MANNER. I HAVE BOTH SETS OF KEYS AND REMOTES. ONE WAS NEVER USED. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK!!

I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY AS IT IS FOR SALE LOCALLY.

Ford making Fusion production moves to challenge Camry on volume

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

The Ford Fusion may already beat the Toyota Camry in terms of models offered, transaction price and sales increase so far this year, but if the Fusion wants to make a run at the title of best-selling car in the US, Bloomberg reminds us that volume is key. Opening a second production line at the Flat Rock, MI assembly plant will reportedly allow Ford to produce around 350,000 Fusions annually, which compares Toyota's ability to crank out 475,000 Camrys and Honda's capacity to build around 450,000 Accords.
For the Fusion, that's an extra 100,000 units compared to the car's current pace, and the article adds that the Fusion is "Ford's best shot" to regain the passenger car sales crown - a title it (or any other US automaker, for that matter) hasn't held since the mid-1990s. Despite hiccups with recalls and fuel economy numbers, the Ford Fusion is still red hot when it comes to sales. Fusion sales are up 13 percent so far this year (compared to a 0.6 percent decrease for Camry), and its average transaction price of $26,343 is about $2,300 more than its rival from Toyota.
The Fusion's popularity has helped Ford improve its sales in California; the Dearborn-based automaker has a market share of 18 percent in the state, which is just a fraction of a percentage behind Honda. And this popularity should continue as Ford ups Fusion production and expands the model lineup even further for 2014 with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine soon to become an option.

Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.

Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?

Sun, 28 Jul 2013

Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.
