Selling my 1997 F 250 Ford truck, clean truck, only 126,000 miles, the truck looks fairly stock, but has been nicely modified. Mostly I was going for creature comfort, a smoother ride on a 3/4 ton truck. Some sort of ride height adjustment, The front leaf springs tend to wear out quickly with the weight of the diesel and transfer case over them. Truck was on second set and could use help before I started, Note: the dana 50 is reliant on springs for caster and camber wheel alignment. It works good on F-150 with coil springs and a lighter motor.     First the Twin I-Beam Dana 50 removed to make room for a straight axle Dana 60 Old School Front Axle w/king pins, Rebuilt before installation, new seals and universal joints and Warn heavy duty full turn manual locking 4X4 hubs (King-Pins Axle) , Much easier maintenance then( ball joints) and no caster and camber issues. The truck has new Skyjacker Soft-Ride leaf springs. To adjust the  ride height Air-Bags were installed Front and Back. Fronts are 3" compressed to 9" fully expanded. Rated1300lbs each. Rear bags are 4" compressed and 13" fully expanded. The Front Rear has a Heavy-Duty Panhard Bar to control front stability along with 3/4 of a High Steering System, Note the Steering Link from Steering Box to Passenger side Steering Knuckle is Above the Leaf-spring. The drag-link is still below.        Rear-end has Panhard Bar to keep it in True, along with Heavy Track Bars, All Adjustable Joints are Super-Pivot type, and all joints are greasable. Rear Brakes, rear parking brake cables, and brake cylinders and drums are new, and Painted. Front Brake Calipers and Pads are New the Rotors that where on dana 60 rear when purchased, where reused. All Brake Hoses and Lines are New, including the Rear Anti-Lock Brake Actuator. Both Fuel tanks are New. Frame has had rust removed, treated with por-15 Metal Ready and has been painted whit por-15 rust paint with a brush to make sure of good contact to metal. New Skyjacker Hydro 7000 Shocks all around along with Steering Stabilizer. The Air-Bag Preesure is Controled using Two Little-Larry's Manual Control Valves, Front and Back Controlled separately. (No electric two mess with). Control Valves are Mounted in Dash with a Two- Needle Gauge just above. 2 needles in one gauge. Air suspension mainly for when truck is loaded or when pulling camper or car hauler.  Air Pressure for the system comes from a New Compressor and Two- gallon tank in the Bed Tool-Box.      Power, I wanted to open up flow of the stock motor mostly, K&N Filter and a  4" Gale Banks ( Monster)Stainless exhaust would help with that, 3" from Turbo to Cat. 4" through Monster Muffler to a 5" Polished Exhaust Tip.  Intercooler has been Added to help in Power, some parts used are Banks and some are a Kit for a Mustang intercooler, works Great! All Piping 3" Polished and the 4" Intercooler is Polished also.  Gale Banks Power-Chip is Installed on Factory Computer, along with the Banks Trans-Commander is installed for nice Trans Shifts.  Always plenty of Power,  never any Nasty Black Smoke. All Banks Gauges Installed to monitor Engine Exhaust and Transmission Temps, along with a Turbo Boost Pressure Gauge, mounted on A-Pillar and has Switch to turn off gauge lights if not needed. Truck moves out nicely, 4:10 gear ratio in rears work good with the bigger tires.    Interior: New 180 Watt per-channel  JVC sat ready Stereo has been installed along with Sony Explode Speakers front and back all installed behind factory speaker Grills to keep clean looking. Has a USB port in front for I-pod or other Music Storage Device. I have owned truck for about 5 years, I have put about 25,000 miles on truck and it has never given me any problems, even starts right up in the winter, New Starter installed also.        Truck has a few character marks (dents) on it , dent on extended cab section drivers side, top of bedside on drivers side dent and some surface rust starting on passenger door behind trim on door. Truck was Zebart Treated when it was new, they drill holes in the body and spray in rust prevention coating, and has kept the body in very good condition.   The Mickey Thomson Rims have been treated with Shark Hide, seems to be keeping rims very shinny, should be good for life, (front and back of rim).Stock Aluminum Factory Rims/ Hub Caps are available for truck, they have New 10 ply tires mounted on them, for the High Boy look. Either rims and tires go with truck, both sets for additional fee.  Truck has never been used for heavy pulling, I put a trailer hitch receiver on it when I bought it with a 100,000 miles on it. Never had one Before,  I pulled a light weight 4-wheeler trailer once in a while. The trucks undercarriage makes no noise, no squeaks, no rattles, tight ! The cab is very tight, no air leaks or wind noise. Thanks for looking, selling to continue working on other projects, My # 301-876-1007 questions about truck,  thanks Hewey.

Cadillac ELR, Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas win Eyes on Design awards

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

This year's annual Eyes on Design awards were presented at the end of press days for the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday. Given out for the best production and concept car designs that debuted at the show, and voted on by an esteemed panel of actual car designers, this year's award for best production vehicle design went to the 2014 Cadillac ELR. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, which was the show favorite among Autoblog editors, apparently did not impress the Eyes on Design judges enough with its all-new vent-festooned design.
The award for best concept design was actually split as a tie among the Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas concepts. Last year's winners were the 2013 Ford Fusion and the Lexus LF-LC concept.
The Eyes on Design organization also presented a new honor this year called the Catalyst Award to Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman of General Motors. Lutz is reported to have given a defense of design in his acceptance speech, arguing that advancements in quality across the industry as a whole have made good design a key differentiator for buyers.

Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.
