I have a 2000 Ford F-150 Lightning with 118,000 miles on it. It is in Excellent condition. It has a brand new transmission with 2600 stall converter. It was built by Transmission Specialists in machesney park, IL. The transmission has high performance Sonnax clutches and band as well as a shift kit. The 4R100transmission cost over $3k. Yes, I have the reciept. According to dealer records, the engine was changed in 2004, so in a very conservative estimate, the engine has about 90,000 miles on it. The spark plugs were just changed. There is a scratch above the driver's rear wheel opening and a 1 inch hole in the bumper that somthing poked through, it has touch up paint on it to keep from rusting. Otherwise, it is a rust free vehicle.
The following modifications include
4lb lower pulley
2.9" upper pulley--together make about 16lb of boost
C&L Intake
ported throttle body
C&L upper plenum
Ported supercharger
Lightning Force Performance intercooler
Aafco heat exchanger with fans
Accel coils (minus one that crapped out, I put a stocker on there and it comes with the other 7 stock coils)
L&S Oil Separator
Kooks long tube stainless steel headers
Catco high flow stainless catalytic converters
Magnaflow stainless steel exhaust
Hellwig front and rear sway bars
All steering components are new and the truck has a fresh alignment as well as new shocks all around
New Powerslot slotted rotors and ceramic pads and just new pads on the back, brake system was just bled
The rear end has fresh fluid and a T/A girdle
Covering the bed is a factory tonneau cover
The bedliner is a Bedrug brand
The EGR is deleted, so the Check engine light is on
Also comes with an SCT tuner
The battery has been relocated to right in front of the rear bumper, yes, it is secure there.
For those of you for numbers, it's stock from the factory with 360HP, so add 6lb of boost and some other modifications and it probably comes a little over 400. The Nitto drag radials prevent the tires from going up in smoke from a standstill. No, I haven't beat the hell out of this truck, but anyone who tells you their 400hp vehicle was "babied" is a liar. No one buys cars or trucks like this just to piddle around. No, it doesn't smoke, no I didn't do burnouts with it all day, yes, it's been leaned on. Yes, it starts, runs, and drives well reliably.
Call, text, or email for any questions
thanks,
Dan

Ford's simple suit makes you feel like a drunk driver
Tue, Mar 25 2014We've all heard about the dangers of drunk driving for practically our entire lives. Whether it's from PSAs on TV or lectures in school, no one can claim ignorance of drunk driving being extremely dangerous. However, that doesn't prevent some people from still doing it. Ford is trying to take the safety message directly to young drivers with a special suit that allows them to simulate driving under the influence. It is all part of Ford's Driving Skills for Life program that gives free driving education to young people. The program is meant to "train kids in skills they don't learn in driver's ed," said Kelli Felker, Ford Safety Communications Manager, to Autoblog. The drivers don a few items to impair their senses and make them off-balance to simulate having a few too many drinks and then go out on a closed course with an instructor to see the effects. Felker said that the suit is a new part of the program, and Ford just received the outfit in the US. It will be incorporated into the training here in the late spring or early summer. Scroll down to see the effect it has on drivers in Europe. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Saleen SA-30 Mustang, Camaro and Challenger help celebrate the big 3-0
Fri, 22 Nov 2013After 30 years of tuning performance cars and building racecars, Saleen is celebrating its racing heritage with a limited-production car line called SA-30. Based on the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, Saleen will only build 10 of each SA-30 model at a base price of $95,000.
For that money, buyers will get upgraded suspension, brakes and engines, and while the power figures have not been released for the SA-30 620 Camaro and SA-30570 Challenger models, the SA-30 302 Mustang will be the top performer with 625 horsepower. Each car will be painted up in a custom pearl white hue with black and yellow accents, and get white wheels shrouding yellow powder-coated brake calipers. Inside, the SA-30 offerings will all get a proper Saleen interior with black leather and white Alcantara on the seats, along with the expected smattering of SA-30 badges.
On all three SA-30 models, customers will have various options available to further customize their cars, including a rear-seat delete option that transforms each car's cabin into a race-inspired interior with a chassis-strengthening rear cross brace. Perhaps the coolest feature of all, though, is the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass that is an option on the SA-30 302 Mustang. Similar to the Mercedes Sky Control roof first introduced on the Mercedes SLK, the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass allows the Mustang's optional glass roof and rear window to be switched from transparent to opaque at the push of a button.
FCA UConnect fiasco could set over-the-air updates back years
Fri, Feb 16 2018Since cars have become more software dependent, most major automakers have been inching toward enabling over-the-air updates to keep vehicle electronics, ranging from infotainment systems to safety features, current. But there are only two car companies — Fiat Chrysler and Ford —± currently doing OTA updates, and on a limited basis. GM CEO Mary Barra announced last summer that the automaker will launch a new EV architecture and infotainment system capable of over-the-air updates "before 2020." The one exception, per usual, is Tesla. Since the release of the Model S almost six years ago, the maverick EV automaker has made routine OTA software updates a core part of its vehicle platforms and value proposition, and has sent out updates for everything from adjusting ride height to enabling Autopilot, largely without incident. When I've asked automakers why they can't do the same thing, I've heard reasons ranging from running afoul of their dealers (and archiac regulation) to security concerns. Automakers like Ford and General Motors say they want to act like tech companies, which routinely send out OTA updates for a wide range of devices, but overall the car industry still moves at a very cautious snail's pace. And when automakers do try to move faster and take more risks — unlike with a smartphone update, which people bitch about but live with — the consequences can be significant when things go wrong. That's the case with Fiat Chrysler America and its recent public-relations nightmare when an OTA update went awry. The update went out at the end of last week for the Uconnect system in late-model vehicles, and it made head units go into a near continuous reboot, which caused owners to not only lose access to entertainment features, but also critical functions like emergency assistance. Almost immediately, owners took to Twitter to express outrage, and FCA was caught flatfooted. A tweet went out on Monday on the UconnectCares Twitter account that read, "Certain 2017 & 2018 Uconnect systems may experience a reboot every 45-60 seconds. Our Engineering teams are investigating the cause and working towards a resolution.
