I have a 2000 Ford F-150 Lightning with 118,000 miles on it. It is in Excellent condition. It has a brand new transmission with 2600 stall converter. It was built by Transmission Specialists in machesney park, IL. The transmission has high performance Sonnax clutches and band as well as a shift kit. The 4R100transmission cost over $3k. Yes, I have the reciept. According to dealer records, the engine was changed in 2004, so in a very conservative estimate, the engine has about 90,000 miles on it. The spark plugs were just changed. There is a scratch above the driver's rear wheel opening and a 1 inch hole in the bumper that somthing poked through, it has touch up paint on it to keep from rusting. Otherwise, it is a rust free vehicle.
The following modifications include
4lb lower pulley
2.9" upper pulley--together make about 16lb of boost
C&L Intake
ported throttle body
C&L upper plenum
Ported supercharger
Lightning Force Performance intercooler
Aafco heat exchanger with fans
Accel coils (minus one that crapped out, I put a stocker on there and it comes with the other 7 stock coils)
L&S Oil Separator
Kooks long tube stainless steel headers
Catco high flow stainless catalytic converters
Magnaflow stainless steel exhaust
Hellwig front and rear sway bars
All steering components are new and the truck has a fresh alignment as well as new shocks all around
New Powerslot slotted rotors and ceramic pads and just new pads on the back, brake system was just bled
The rear end has fresh fluid and a T/A girdle
Covering the bed is a factory tonneau cover
The bedliner is a Bedrug brand
The EGR is deleted, so the Check engine light is on
Also comes with an SCT tuner
The battery has been relocated to right in front of the rear bumper, yes, it is secure there.
For those of you for numbers, it's stock from the factory with 360HP, so add 6lb of boost and some other modifications and it probably comes a little over 400. The Nitto drag radials prevent the tires from going up in smoke from a standstill. No, I haven't beat the hell out of this truck, but anyone who tells you their 400hp vehicle was "babied" is a liar. No one buys cars or trucks like this just to piddle around. No, it doesn't smoke, no I didn't do burnouts with it all day, yes, it's been leaned on. Yes, it starts, runs, and drives well reliably.
Call, text, or email for any questions
thanks,
Dan

Oh, free extra stuff, too. a 2 gallon intercooler reservior, a 5 gallon intercooler reservior, new spicer upper control arms with polyurethane bushings, a polyurethane bushing kit for the whole truck, the stock upper plenum, all the EGR stuff, the factory lower pulley, a 100mm idler pulley, all the factory battery brackets in case you don't want it in the back anymore, a 90mm C&L MAF, another air filter, and a set of tires with 70% tread, one of 'em looks like a rat got to some of the tread, but it still rides fine, no belts or anything showing.

Ford Mondeo classes up with premium Vignale trim
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Back in the day, Vignale was a carrozzeria of the highest order, alongside the likes of Pininfarina, Bertone and Zagato. But like Giugiaro-ItalDesign and Ghia, it has since been subsumed into a larger auto group. Ford ended up with it under its umbrella when it took over De Tomaso, and has since used the moniker for a number of concept cars. Now the name is back in the form of a new upscale sub-brand for the European market.
The first new model to receive the Vignale treatment is the Mondeo, which Ford unveiled here at the Frankfurt Motor Show in both sedan and wagon forms. Positioned above the Titanium trim, the Vignale model gets such special touches as chrome trim and a quilted leather interior, Vignale badges replacing any mention of the Mondeo on which it's based. It also gains an ownership experience - including free car washes for life! - to befit the upscale positioning.
Under the bright spotlights above the show floor, the Nocciola metallic brown paint might not be the most photogenic, but will likely give the Vignale edition a more premium look when it hits European dealers and roads in 2015. Whether it'll be worth however much Ford asks for it, however, remains to be seen. Scroll down below for the official press release.
Ford won't be releasing GT500 lap times for the 'Ring, or any other car
Wed, 27 Nov 2013Trucks have towing capacity, EVs have driving range and performance cars have Nürburgring lap times. What do all three have in common? They should all be taken with a grain of salt. Currently, there is no sanctioned way to record lap times or verify production-spec cars - a lesson we recently learned with the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo - and until there is a way to do so (and there probably never will be), we'll never officially know the actual time it took for Ford to lap the 'Ring with its ultra-powerful Shelby GT500.
After posting a Ford-made video of a 2013 GT500 running around the 'Ring, the guys over at SVTPerformance.com (an enthusiasts forum not affiliated with Ford or SVT) wanted more answers. They got in touch with Ford's Global Performance Vehicle Chief Engineer Jamal Hameedi, who said until there is a way to verify the times and inspect the cars, Ford will not get involved with lap-time wars. In the email, Hameedi pointed out that the 'Ring is a useful tool in that it allows a wide spectrum of track conditions, but until there is a governed way to record times, there is no way to accurately compare cars head-to-head.
And as much as some may not like it, Hameedi speaks the truth. It really isn't possible to compare times from one car to another, unless those cars were lapping the same track at the same time with the same driver. Not that any of this means there won't be continuous wars by fans and manufacturers alike... in other words, feel free to voice your opinions in the Comments below.
Ford readying 2015 F-150 drift truck for SEMA
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Between the Mustangs you'd find in Formula D and the Fiestas in the Global and World rallycross championships, there's no shortage of Ford drift cars on the scene. But at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Blue Oval automaker intends to show off a different kind of drift machine.
Created in collaboration with driftmeister Vaughn Gittin, Jr., this custom F-150 has been designed for "on- and off-road capabilities, as well as drifting and jumping." It's got a suspension with components from Kibbetech King and Air Lift Performance to give it 12 inches of travel and comes packed with 5 Recaro seats. Other details remain limited, but if the rendering above is anything to go by, it ought to be pretty awesome.
Alongside the Gittin truck, Ford will also be showcasing another F-150 designed together with freestyle motorcross rider Brian Deegan, packing the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and a long list of enhancements. Between these two trucks, Ford hopes to extend its winning streak for the Hottest Truck award that it's taken four years running now. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
