I've owned this truck since 2007 and used it as my daily driver for quite some time. During this time I upgraded it extensively with the following to achieve a balance between performance, reliability and fuel economy:
Engine: Offenhauser Dual Port intake manifold - Edelbrock 1406 carburetor - K&N air filter and engine breather - Pertronix3 multi spark ignition in rebuilt distributor - 8.5mm high performance plug wires
Transmission: replaced C4 with AOD 4 speed with 1250 stall converter and shift kit
Drive train: all U-joints new and drive shaft balanced - 3.25 posi replaced against new 3.89 posi from Speedway Motors
Suspension and wheels: 17" Ansen Racing rims 8" front and 10" rear with new in 2013 NITTO high performance tires - front lowered 2" and rear sway bar kit installed for handling
Brakes: master, flex lines, calipers, wheel cylinders and rear drums new within the last 10.000 mls
Exhaust: Brand new Magnaflow dual exhaust in 2013
AC works fine. I installed Mustang seats and the drivers seat is power. The car has its original radio which plays only loud. Needs fixing or replacing. The fuel and temperature gauge are currently not working. Currently it has a camper topper installed because of my dog traveling with me. The truck has a rear sliding window.
I drove this truck for about 25.000 mls and it never let me down. The engine runs strong and revs only 1800rpm at 60mph. It is good on gas, up to 19 mls/gal and you can go 90mph all day long if you live in Texas. My wife and I drove it to Big Bend 3 years ago, carrying my 4wheeler in the bed.
Why do I sell? I got really busy in my business and can not give it the attention it deserves. The paint begins fading and the clear burned off in sections. The gravel roads around here have left their marks and to prevent further damage, it needs a little tlc.
Don't get me wrong: It is still a sharp looking truck and there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, it rides better than most and it is tight and rattle free.
It is a very clean ride.

Ford spills SEMA all over its Expeditions
Sat, 01 Nov 2014If you're going to this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas, it's going to be tough to miss the Ford booth, simply for its size. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen customized examples of the 2015 Mustang and a quintet of modded Transits. The latest announced addition is a trio of upgraded 2015 Expeditions showing different takes on the recently refreshed SUV.
Any vehicle tuned by Dub Magazine needs to ride on massive wheels, and the Expedition (pictured above) that it has for SEMA is no exception. The SUV has 26-inch Dropstars wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires, and, making them look even larger, the suspension is also lowered. The rest of the custom has some mild upgrades like mesh grilles in front, tinted windows, an integrated radar detector and new upholstery inside.
Tijn wants to boost the performance of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 for its take on the Expedition. The company claims to add 40 horsepower to bring total output to a claimed 405 by upgrading the engine with a charge cooler from Vortech Engineering, a custom side exhaust and a custom tune. To match the extra grunt, the SUV also gets bigger brakes, an Air Lift suspension and 24-inch, copper-colored wheels with custom fender flares.
2014 Ford F-150 Tremor adds some sport to shake things up
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Like most quakes, the 2014 Ford F-150 Tremor caught us by surprise. We weren't expecting Ford to offer up another version of its best-seller so soon before the truck's full redesign, but that's exactly what the company is doing.
While Ford calls the Tremor a "performance truck," the new pickup doesn't play on the same level as the SVT Raptor does on dirt, or even the long-gone SVT Lightning did on pavement. Think of it as a parts bin sport truck that probably does a better job looking the part than acting it. The Tremor utilizes the same twin-turbo, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 available across the F-150 lineup, producing 365 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, but matches it with a 4.10 rear axle - the shortest final drive ratio you can get in an F-150 - for the strongest possible acceleration.
The Tremor does do a decent job looking the part. Available only in short-wheelbase, regular cab configuration with your choice of two- or four-wheel drive, it struts around wearing the F-150's FX Appearance Package, flat black accents, 20-inch black wheels, HID headlights and a special exterior graphics package. The Tremor is the only regular cab F-150 with a flow-through center console, which means it also gets a floor-mounted shifter and bucket seats that are covered in black leather with red piping. Some brushed metal accents and steering wheel with red stitching round out the interior upgrades.
Ford To Unveil Solar Hybrid Concept Car At CES
Thu, Jan 2 2014Ford plans to unveil at this month's International CES gadget show a solar-powered concept car that offers the same performance as a plug-in hybrid but without the need for a plug. The C-Max Solar Energi Concept car uses a gasoline engine combined with a gizmo that acts like a magnifying glass to concentrate the sun's rays on the vehicle's roof-mounted solar panels. The automaker says the vehicle's estimated combined city-highway mileage is 100 miles (160 kilometers) per gallon. The U.S. auto maker says that by using solar power instead of an electric plug, a typical owner will reduce their annual greenhouse gas emissions by four metric tons. The company says it sold about 85,000 hybrid or electric vehicles in 2013, including 6,300 units of its C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid. The sun-ray concentrator was developed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and uses what is known as a Fresnel lens, which concentrates light but can be made thinner than a conventional lens. A full day of sunshine is equivalent to a four-hour battery charge, or 8 kilowatts, Ford says. On a full charge, it should have a range of 620 miles (997 kilometers), the same as the C-Max Energi. The concept car also comes with a plug-in port for standard electric charging. Ford says that 75 percent of all trips made by an average driver could be powered by the sun. After showing off the concept car at the convention in Las Vegas Jan. 7-10, Ford Motor Co. says that it will test the vehicle with institute researchers to determine if it's feasible for mass production.
