I sold my business so I no longer need the truck.  We used it for moving Vending Machines.  The lift is great for moving motorcycles and atvs. The perfect toyhauler for a dunes crew.


I just used the truck to move from Iowa to Southern CA (the truck is back in Iowa).  The truck ran great and pulled the loaded 18' trailer effortlessly.  It turned over 200k on the 4500 mile trip. I did not have to add any oil.  The trani and engine temps did fine even pulling the load up the mountains.  It runs good.  The 4wd works good, just used it this week in the snow.  The tires have decent life left on them.

It is equipped with an HydroPak.  This unit is approved by California for use.  It produces hydrogen gas which is mixed with the air intake.  It burns the fuel cleaner which keeps the oil cleaner and the engine running longer.  You just add water to the HydroPak. It removes the hydrogen from the water.  

The lift is manufactured by Xtra Lift. I had it customized with more tie-down points.  The lift can handle around 1200 lbs.  I just replaced the hydraulic pump motor, it has hardly been used since.  The lift bed is 4' wide, length is about 7' +/- with the gate closed.

I bought the truck used with around 150k miles on it.  The engine had been replaced with the newer-style good 6.0L.  I have not had any problem with the engine. The water cooler for the EGR valve failed. I had a by-pass kit installed.  You will not have to worry about that failing again.  I just replaced the alternator last week while in CA.  

The problems.  
The back up lights like to randomly work when you are driving down the road.  It seems to be a short in the ground wire to the relay. It is worse when it rains or on rough roads.  On this last 4500 mile trip they came on a couple times and went right back off.  You can hear the relay click when it happens. 

It has quarter sized rock ding in the windshield. It has been glued to keep from spreading.  It was that way when I bought it 3 years ago.  It has not spread. (See the last two pictures)

There is some rust starting to show. The fenders have some scrapes and dings.  The drivers side rear door was damaged at the bottom before I bought it. I'm not sure what happened.

It does have a gooseneck recessed ball in the bed below the lift. I cut the gooseneck/fifth wheel electrical connection. It was a home splice job that was causing problems.  The wire and plug are still there if you want to re-splice it.

The drivers seat is worn from getting in and out of the truck.

The power sunroof  and the information center (compass, temp, mpg, etc) do not work.  The controls for the sun roof and the information center are both located above the rearview mirror.  Seems that the problem is probably related.

Contact me for more pictures or details 319-461-2927

I may be willing to deliver the truck. Especially if it some where between Iowa and Southern California.  I would just ask you to cover the fuel cost.  Please make arrangements with me about this before buying, if you don't, please understand that I may need to charge more than fuel cost for delivery or I may not be able to do it at all.

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.

Creations n' Chrome Top Notch Mustang is a one-of-a-kind fox

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Is there a cooler car from the 1980s and early 90s to mod than a Fox-body Ford Mustang? No, there isn't. If you disagree with us, we suggest you have a look at this 1990 Mustang Coupe, which just might change your mind. Although considering just how extensively modified this car - the Top Notch Mustang from Creations n' Chrome - is, we wonder just how much Ford is left in this old pony.
It rides on a custom race tube chassis that weighs a scant 700 pounds, while carbon-fiber bits and bobs help lower the overall curb weight to a mere 2,400 pounds. When paired with supercharged, 5.0-liter, Aluminator V8 from Ford Racing, the results are, doubtlessly, exciting. 855 horsepower at the rear wheels and 667 pound-feet of torque are available from that force-fed V8 should be just plenty for this car's intended purpose of running in standing-mile competitions.
The Top Notch Mustang is more extreme than just weight savings and a big engine, though. That 5.0-liter is essentially in what's known as a front-mid layout - where the engine is actually behind the front axle. In this case, the 5.0-liter V8 is 17 inches further back than a factory Fox-body, for better weight distribution. As a result, the cabin has been completely overhauled. An SLA front suspension, wheels from HRE, Wilwood brakes and Sparco interior items round out the extensive list of mods.

2015 Ford Mustang GT Line-Lock Burnout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.
