Up for sale is my 2002 Ford F-350 Super Duty XLT 4X4 Longbed.  I have owned this truck for about 9 years.  I am the second owner of this truck.  This is one of the cleanest and by far the nicest 7.3 Powerstrokes out there.  When I bought the truck it was completely  stock and original.  The truck used to be white in color and after owning the truck for about 6 years I wanted to change it up a bit.  Just so everyone knows, I did not paint the truck because it was wrecked or damaged.  I just wanted to paint it.  The truck has no body work done to it except a few little rock chips or door dings that I repaired during the process.  I own a body shop and tore the truck down and repainted it about two years ago.  With that being said there were no short cuts taken and no cheap materials were used on my truck.  Only the best of the best were used.  Everything was completely disassembled, refinished and done right then put back together.  Under the hood and the door jambs are just as nice as the outside. The finish on the truck is a basecoat/clearcoat show quality finish.  The base coat is House of Kolors Rootbeer candy with Brandywine & Tangerine candy mixed in.  It is a really cool color because it changes about 5 different colors depending on the lighting and time of day.  I have the mixing ratio that I mixed incase of the event of a bump up or scratch that ever needed to be repaired.  I actually also have about 3/4 of gallon left over that I kept.  The clear coat on the truck is a PPG high solids clear that has an amazing shine.  The truck has been sanded and buffed to a really nice finish. This truck has a 4" Rough Country lift on it with 35/13.50/18 Mickey Thompson ATZ's that are in good shape and 18X10 MB Motoring Wheels.  The Wheels are actually one of a kind as well because I had them powder coated flat black and a machine shop drilled out the circles around the wheel lip for a more custom look.  The wheels balance out perfect with only normal amount of weights on them.  If you look in the picture I had a custom gas lid door powder coated the same color to match the wheels.  Every light on the truck is the factory ford lights except the headlights and have been tinted using PPG Clearcoat and black candy basecoat.  The lights are just as slick as the truck and can be polished just like a regular finish.  The front and rear bumpers have been powder coated the same color as the wheels and gas lid door and have no dents or scratches anywhere.  The rear bumper is a 6" drop bumper and has a great aggressive look.  The truck has a steel cowl hood and if you look closely in the picture you can see barbed wire running down the cowl of the hood.  I didn't have the best light (it was getting dark) for the barbed wire to show but in good sunlight it shows up really good.  I also painted barbed wire around the emblem on the tailgate.  The emblem on the tail gate has been custom painted with the letters "SC" which stands for "Southern Comfort" which is what I named the truck as you can see on the bedsides in the pictures.  All of the stencil work is actually paint on this truck, there are no stickers or decals anywhere.  Every piece of plastic trim including the mirrors, cowl panel, bumper plastic and bed rail caps on the truck have been refinished with SEM's Hot Rod Black (Not spray paint) for that perfect trim color.  All of the trim looks brand new like it just rolled off the showroom floor. The grille of the truck is also a one of a kind grille, I painted the outer shell the same SEM's Hot Rod Black and I left the center section chrome.  The headlights in the truck are new 2005-2007 Super Duty Harley Davidson lights.  All of the emblems on the truck are new 2005-2007 Ford F-350 Super Duty Emblems.  The mirrors on the truck are 2005-2007 Super Duty power & heated mirrors.  I removed the 7.3 diesel emblems on the door for a smoother look.  The truck has a Rhino Liner in the bed and a turn-over gooseneck hitch in the bed.  The truck has a Clarion touchscreen CD/DVD/Navigation that cost me about $600 and is a very nice unit. The door speakers are JL Audio.  The windows have been tinted and to be honest I am not sure what percentage they are but they look good with the color of the truck.  The only flaw I know of is the tent on the back glass is barely starting to wrinkle at the bottom where the sliding bank glass slides, but you can't see it from the outside of the truck.

The Truck has a DP Tuner chip (shift on the fly) with 6 settings. 1-stock, 2-High Idle, 3-60HP Tow, 4-80HP Economy, 5-120HP Race, 6-140HP Extreme. The truck has a cold air intake, Banks Power Elbow on the turbo, Banks 4" straight exhaust from the turbo back with a 5" tip that has been powder coated the same flat black, Banks compressor wheel in the turbo, Banks Trans-Command for the transmission (which increases fluid pressures and better shifts), Transmission was completely rebuilt at 120K, a heavy duty torque converter, a new performance high pressure oil pump.  The truck is geared the factory 3:73 and runs strong and drives perfect.  The motor runs excellent and has tons of life left.  7.3 Powerstrokes are known for hitting the "broke in" mark at 150K miles.  I have seen numerous 7.3 Powerstrokes with well over 500K miles on them.  Under the hood of this truck is extremely clean and could be wiped down with a pair of white gloves.  It is not like your typical diesel truck that has grease and black sut everywhere.  I have kept this truck spotless since the day that I have owned it.  You would have to see it to appreciate it.  I never raced, sled pulled or been in the mud with this truck but if you are one of those people who like to "roal coal" this truck will absolutely do it when you turn the chip up to the 140HP setting.  The 4 wheel drive works perfect and it has locking hubs but honestly it has not been used but maybe 5 times since I have owned it.

This truck has always been meticulously maintained since the day I have bought it.  All fluids have been changed when they are supposed to.  The truck runs and drives flawlessly and very strong with many miles left in it.  The truck truly is one of the cleanest 2002 super duties that you will find out there.  I absolutely hate to part with this truck like you couldn't possibly imagine because of all of the time I have spent on it but my wife and I are expecting our first baby in April and are in the process of buying a new house and the toys have to go unfortunately.  If you have any questions about my truck feel free to call or text me (Kyle) at anytime before 10PM EST at 336-460-8927.  If I don't answer just leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.  Please don't call me with any ridiculous offers because I know what my truck is worth and don't want to even deal with it.  Please be aware that I have the right to end the auction at anytime due to the truck being for sale locally also.  If the truck was to sell locally I will end it.  Thank you very much for looking and good luck bidding!

Hybrid, electric campers take center stage at Germany's motorhome trade show

Fri, Sep 6 2019

Car companies from all over the automotive spectrum will make international headlines next week by presenting hybrid and electric cars at the biennial Frankfurt auto show. Camper van and motorhome manufacturers got a head start on the rest of the industry by presenting their green solutions at the Dusseldorf Caravan Salon. The show confirms electrification is present in the leisure segment, too. German camper experts Dethleffs introduced a plug-in hybrid, pop-top camper based on the full-size Ford Transit van. Called Globevan e.Hybrid, it relies on a 126-horsepower drivetrain built around a turbocharged, 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine. The system can power the camper on electricity alone for up to 31 miles. Adventurers who leave with a full tank and a full charge enjoy 310 miles of driving range, which is an impressive figure for the camper van segment. Charging the battery pack takes 5.5 hours when using a regular household outlet, according to the manufacturer, or three hours when hooking it up to a quick-charging station. Globevan production is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2020, and pricing starts at 75,000 euros, a sum that represents approximately $83,000. EFA-S took electrification a step further. Starting with a Fiat Ducato, a van known as the Ram Promaster in the United States, it yanked out the turbodiesel engine and replaced it with a 140-kilowatt electric motor fed by an 86-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack. The company pegs the camper's driving range at up to 186 miles, a relatively low figure which hardly reflects how most vacationers use their van. The pack takes four hours to charge, Auto Motor und Sport learned. While sustainable, zero-emissions tourism is difficult to argue against, the Ducato-based camper suffers from two serious setbacks. First, the battery pack makes it so heavy that it can't be driven with a regular license. It's considered a heavy commercial vehicle. Second, its 160,000-euro (about $177,000) price tag makes it twice as expensive as a diesel-burning model, and puts it in the same price range as much bigger, more powerful, and more luxurious models. EFA-S will nonetheless move forward with production in 2020, though it plans to build no more than 30 units. The caravan Salon is not only about hybrids and electric cars, however.

Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.

Ford will lay off 700 employees in Michigan

Fri, Apr 24 2015

Lagging sales of compact and electric cars are starting to take their toll on automakers. Ford said Thursday it intends to lay off 700 employees who work at the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, MI, over the next five months. The plant makes Ford Focus and C-Max vehicles. Sales of both have stalled in recent months. The layoffs affect 675 hourly and 25 salaries employees, and will begin in late June and continue through September, according to paperwork filed with state officials. The company expects to re-hire the affected employees elsewhere and use them on temporary basis throughout the summer. Ford spokesperson Kristina Adamski said the affected employees will be "first in line" for other jobs at nearby plants, and UAW vice president Jimmy Settles said he expected all would be re-hired at other southeast Michigan factories by "early 2016." Although industry sales have remained high overall, the growth has come from SUVs and pickup trucks. Conversely, compact cars and alternate-powered vehicles like the C-Max have struggled to find customers amid cheap gasoline prices. Focus monthly sales fell 14.5 percent year over year in March, and C-Max monthly sales dropped 22.9 percent over the same period. It was less than three years ago that Ford hailed the Michigan Assembly Plant as a model for its future, one that would quickly adapt to market conditions through a more flexible assembly process. The plant was retrofitted at a cost of $550 million so that the same assembly line could install electric, plug-in hybrid or gasoline powertrains. Ford produces the Focus, Focus ST, Focus Electric, C-Max Hybrid and C-Max Energi here. At the time, company officials said the flexible line was a way to "not be trapped with dedicated one-trick-pony plants where you have under-capacity or over-capacity situations," said Jim Tetreault, Ford's vice president of North American manufacturing, in November 2012. But that's exactly where Ford finds itself as consumers have turned away from both compact and gas-sipping hybrids and electrics as gas prices have fallen to a national average of $2.49 per gallon, according to Thursday's AAA Fuel Gauge Report. One year ago, gas prices averaged $3.70 per gallon. In perhaps a melancholy twist, the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator that were phased out at Michigan Assembly by the retrofit are once again the types of vehicles that are sought after by consumers.
