Up for sale is my 2000 Ford Excursion Limited. This truck has the well known 7.3 diesel, four wheel drive (4x4), as well as a very clean leather interior. The current mileage is 294,500 but may go up since it is a daily driver. The truck is Burnt Chestnut, Ford color code B4 only available on 2000 Limited Excursions and was custom ordered. I am the second owner of the truck, and I have all documentation of the work performed by me in the last two years, along with recent things done by the previous owner. This is a very well maintained truck that I would not hesitate to take anywhere! I only use Motorcraft OEM filters and fluids. Don’t let the mileage fool you, Properly maintained 7.3 diesels will go 500,000+ miles!
I have done all the work to ensure the motor is good for another 300,000 miles at least. I used the truck for pulling a 14’ enclosed trailer for work but, I have since sold the trailer and no longer really have a use for such a powerful/big truck! I have done many tasteful modifications but I can guarantee this truck was never chipped or tuned! It may resemble and have most of the supporting modifications but like I said I know for a fact this truck was never tuned. This was all done for personal taste and mainly for towing and driving long trips.
This truck was very well cared for by its previous owner and me. The truck has all the longevity modifications done by me to insure that the truck will perform trouble free for many miles to come! A big issue on the 7.3’s is the oil pan rusting out well, this truck has a new Motorcraft oil pan, Newer Up pipes, and a rebuilt turbo. While the motor was out all the block and freeze plugs were replaced as well. All that was done in 2010 by a Wickstrom Ford of Barrington IL. (According to the previous owner, and it shows!) At 272,000 miles I had all 8 Fuel injectors replaced with Ford Motorcraft reman units as well as the glow plugs by, Heavy Metal Performance Diesel in Rockdale IL.
The truck has two brand new batteries and a 100% new alternator done last year.
I have done many modifications to the fuel system for longevity of the injectors. I did the “hutch mod” which eliminates a problem in the higher mileage diesels, there is also a large inline fuel filter installed with a kit from Dieselsite.com. I installed a Fuel Rail Cross system to also help with fuel delivery known as the “FRx” by Riffraff Diesel Performance, you will find almost all of the parts installed came from there. At 286,000 I Installed a 100% new International water pump along with switching to a heavy duty Rotella Extended life coolant that is good for 300,000 miles! The conventional green coolant is no good in a diesel! I also installed a Coolant filter system to eliminate any leftover casting sand from the factory that shortens the life of the water pump. I cannot begin to list everything I have done to this truck; I have always run synthetic Shell Rotella Oil and the motorcraft FL1995 oil filter changed every 3,000 miles!
The Transmission shifts smooth and crisp, I installed an aftermarket Valve Body to help with Fords problem of “sluggish shifts”. The Valve body is a John Wood Valve Body who builds outstanding transmissions and is very well known. The transmission was always serviced every 30,000 miles and again it shows! I serviced it at 275,000 miles with motorcraft fluid and filter, with the Valve body done at 280,000 miles which I changed 10 quarts when I swapped the Valve body. The swap is for towing and the quicker shifts eliminate the slop in-between gears therefore decreasing heat, the enemy of transmissions! There is simply too much to list to go into detail about but I will say it has a Re-built rear end, newer upper and lower MOOG ball joints, many, many new front end parts. The Tires are 75% left on BFG AT tires with a brand new spare! If you are interested in hearing more about the truck I would be happy to answer any questions you may have and help out in any way possible.
I just took the truck on a 1,300 mile trip to Kansas and I got a hand calculated 20.2 mpg! I The interior is MINT with the only wear being on the drivers seat and a small area in the cargo area were a battery spilled. Ice cold AC and hot heat! I have an aftermarket Pioneer AVIC-D1 head-unit installed with GPS and all the standard features. Everything in the truck works, heated seats, power heated mirrors, Power drivers seat and all 3 climate control zones. The 3rd row seat looks barley used and is in mint condition. This is a very nice shape truck.
I would be happy to send you over 100 detailed pictures and gladly tell you more about the truck! Please note that this truck is for sale locally and this auction can end at any time. This vehicle is sold as is where is. If you would like to inspect the truck before bidding please contact me and we can arrange that.

A 500.00 non refundable deposit is due via paypal within 48 hours of auction end. I will accept cash or check, If paying with a check My bank will hold the check for 24 hours to clear.

Ken Block seems like one hell of a nice guy. I ran into him at CES this past January, and he dropped the video games he was playing to chat with me for a while. His crew also recently gave our Steve Ewing a tour of the offices you're about to see on this video. Good guy to know.
As it turns out, they're some fairly cool new digs. Dubbed 'Hoonigan Racing Division HQ,' the office is open to Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST owners who attend the driving program offered out at Miller Motorsports Park. The very same program that Ewing reported on just recently.
Or, if you've no plans to buy an ST or travel to Utah any time soon, you can let Block show you around himself in this MTV Cribs-style video. With interior decorating that relies heavily on shipping containers and luxurious amenities like a ping pong table, 10 refrigerators and a bear(?), there's no lack of eye-candy in the driverly HQ. (Judging by Block's outfit, you'll probably not go thirsty if you're a Monster drinker, either.) Take the tour along with the Gymkhana master, below.

It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.

Generally, cars get bigger and heavier as they get older. That's why it looks so ridiculous when you park a classic Mini next to a modern version. The same can be said of the Corvette, the BMW 3 Series, Porsche 911 and, of course, the Ford Taurus. In the Taurus' case, though, that size has become a liability, particularly because the big brute isn't nearly as sizable on the inside as it is on the out.
For 2016, Ford is aiming to rectify that. According to Edmunds, the 2016 Taurus will ride on a stretched and widened Ford Fusion platform. Ford is expecting this move to go a long way in trimming the Taurus' ample body fat.
"The problem with today's Taurus is that it is overweight and even the high performance SHO is not really competitive," said a source that spoke to Edmunds on condition of anonymity. The 365-horsepower SHO variant, "actually weighs about as much as the stretched Audi A8 L. Of course, Audi uses an extensive amount of aluminum, but it is a much bigger car."
