Black Eddie Bauer Ford Excursion on 2040-cars
Nisswa, Minnesota, United States
|
This is an awesome vehicle that I purchased for hunting, fishing and camping. Unfortunately, family and business needs come first and I reluctantly have to part with this rig. I purchased this truck with 150k miles on it and have taken meticulous care of it since. It came with the EGR Delete kit, which is a costly but important modification for this year of the 6.0, and can increase the life of this engine dramatically. It also already had the 4" turbo-back exhaust system and Bullydog cold air intake. I have installed the "blue spring" fuel pressure regulator, which was another issue with these engines that caused them to not get enough fuel when under load. I have a Bullydog Power Pup 10-stage programmer I will also include for the successful bidder. The wheels are 18" Chrome plated and the tires are 325/65 Firestone Destination ATs with decent tread left. This truck is a BRUTE, as illustrated by the heavy duty bumper guard up front, made of 1/4" steel. I recently replaced the front hub assemblies and rotors, ($1800!!!) but otherwise it has been bulletproof. 4x4 works smoothly. The truck was a Florida vehicle until last winter, but even though it is tagged with Minnesota plates, it still has seen very little road salt. It's very clean. I've owned 9 Powerstroke diesels and this is my sixth 6.0. I know how to take care of them and I know their strengths and weaknesses. This is a good one. I would confidently take this truck anywhere. I have another Powerstroke 6.0 pickup that is a "project" truck for me and it doesn't run as smooth as this one, but I need to keep a truck and don't need the SUV. The steering is a little sloppy, as it needs some new rod ends, but it's aligned and doesn't dog track or anything. The front bumper is the only real flaw on the truck, as the passenger side has a little dent on it. If that was replaced, the body would be 99% straight. The interior is worn where it typically is, on the drivers' seat, but otherwise just normal wear and tear. Not a lot of stains, no rips, etc. I will upload better interior pics or email them upon request. I haven't had a chance to get pics during daylight since deciding to sell it. "Subtle" would not be a good word to describe this truck. It's loud and it stands out. My kids named it "Big E" and their class mates think it's "cool". I buy on Ebay, but not sold a lot, so I'm a little out of my comfort zone. I will make one last "road trip" in this rig if you cannot pick this truck up, for a negotiated amount. This is really a special interest vehicle and needs to go to someone that is specifically looking for this special American muscle! |

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company
Thu, 03 Oct 2013
That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.
