 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 moving medium-duty F-Series production from Mexico to Ohio

Thu, 27 Feb 2014


A few more Ford trucks will be built in the US in the near future with news that production of the F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks will move from Mexico to Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, OH. Ford hasn't confirmed a precise timeline for the move, but The Detroit News claims the Blue Oval will make the shift later this year or in early 2015.
As Ford spokesperson Mike Levine reminded us, back in 2011, Ford announced in an investor release that it would shift production "after the [Ohio] plant stops current production of the Ford E-Series vans." According to that release, the Ohio factory will also receive $128 million in upgrades to build the new trucks, plus the F53 motorhome chassis and F59 commercial chassis.

Ford readying three-row Edge for China

Fri, Nov 21 2014

The next-generation Ford Edge will be available with quite a growth spurt for its debut in China next year, with newly announced plans also to build and sell a three-row version exclusively in the People's Republic. However, markets outside of there likely won't see the larger model. Ford marketing boss (and future head of Ford of Europe) Jim Farley announced the three-row version of the crossover at the Los Angeles Auto Show, according to Automotive News. To create the extra room, Ford made the Chinese-built variant about 16 inches longer than its two-row counterpart. Farley didn't specify at which of the Blue Oval's plants in the country this model would be assembled. The Explorer and forthcoming Everest already offer three rows from the Ford lineup in China, but the company thinks the market can easily support all of them. According to Farley to Automotive News, the utility segment is up 485 percent in the country since 2008. Customers in the US can still look forward to the two-row Edge hitting dealers early next year. It'll be the first model in the Blue Oval's lineup here to come standard with EcoBoost power.

Ford dissects the heart of the 2015 Mustang, its engine range

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

Happy Mustang Day. Are you tired of hearing about the 2015 Ford Mustang yet? No? Good, here's a bunch of mechanical data on Ford's sixth-gen muscle car, along with cutaways of the GT's 5.0-liter V8 and the new 2.3-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder shown above. We also have a smattering of info on the Stang's updated transmissions and an exploded-parts-diagram view of its all-new independent rear suspension.
Ford is set to make waves offering the Mustang with a turbo for the firs time since the small-volume SVO of the 1980s. Displacing 2.3 liters, the engine's twin-scroll turbo should help the four-cylinder turn out a projected 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, while also returning the best fuel economy in the Mustang's engine lineup. As we said in our Deep Dive, the EcoBoost will be slotted in as a premium engine, above the 3.7-liter V6 but below the 5.0-liter V8.
Speaking of that high-revving eight-cylinder, it's receiving a new cylinder head with high-flow ports. The intake and exhaust valves are larger and the cams have been replaced, among other tweaks. It should rev even higher thanks to a rebalanced crankshaft and forged connecting rods. Ford is still claiming a projected 420 hp and 390 lb-ft, although as many of the changes for the 2015's V8 come from the 2013 Boss 302, we're going to assume there's some sandbagging at work.
