Too many toys and unfortunately this one has to go.  Up for auction is my 1999 Ford F150 Lightning. I purchased this truck in 2009 from a gentleman in Illinios.  The truck had about 85000 miles when I bought it and wasn't driven much and cosmetically was in great condition.  Upon purchasing the truck I went to have it tuned and while inspecting the spark plugs, one was found to be stripped... common problem with the 99-00 trucks... not enough threads!!!!  To repair the heads was going to involve removing the cab, a thus the build began.  The heads were rebuilt and all 8 plug holes were heli-coiled and welded from the inside... The RIGHT way!!!   While the heads were off I decided to have them fully ported, as well as all new valves and seals.  It was no use putting an awesome set of heads on a stock block so that was next on the list.  Block was rebuilt with a forged steel crank, Oliver rods and Diamond pistons.  Basically bulletproof shortblock to 1000hp.  Long block was assembled with all ARP hardware and ARP head studs.  While inside we decided to replace the old 99-00 style 9 row intercooler with the more efficient and non-leak prone 01 up 10 row version, along with the 01 up mid-plate.  The supercharger was off and why not port it too.  It was sent to Stiegmeier and was stage 4 ported.  Upon return the silencer holes were filled and we were ready for boost.  A 6 pound lower and 2.8 inch upper was installed and on the dyno we saw right at 15 PSI.  With the current tune it is making right at 415 hp and is asking for more fuel.  The injectors are at 100% duty cycle and will only need bigger injectors to hit the 450hp mark.  The engine build was all done by Strictly Performance in Houston, Texas as well as the tuning.  Originally the truck was tuned on a Diablosport Chipmaster Revolution Chip, but we had issues with the chip coming loose from the ECM.  We took out the chip and a new ECM was installed and re-tuned with a Diablosport Predator handheld tuner` (Included in sale)...  no more loose chips and a lot dang easier to tune.  Because a new ECM was installed I had to have the PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) turned off.  This will need to be reprogrammed to the keys but is currently turned off in the tune... just never got around to it and its always in the garage and locked up anyway.  Upon completion of the sale I can have the PATS reprogrammed for an additional $150.00 or you can take it to any performance shop or Ford dealership and have it done.  As far as the rest of the truck...

It has all new brakes and rotors, rebuilt rearend, TA rear end girdle, JLP long bars, Edelbrock shocks, Hotchkiss rear leaf springs, new OEM soft Tonneau cover (Good luck finding another one of these), new OEM steering wheel (Original was starting to wear), LFP single blade throttle body, C&L upper plenum, 1/2 inch phenolic spacer, polished C&L inlet elbow, K&N filter, new IAC valve, shorty antenna, LFP dual 90mm idlers with billet bracket, recent battery, new intercooler pump, new energy suspension sway bar end links, new idler arm, new pitman arm, driveshaft safety loop, new headlight, tailights, foglights, Pioneer AVIC X930BT with nav, bluetooth and all the goodies, Rockford Fosgate amp, 2 10 inch Rockford subs in a custom box from BestBuy, Rockford mids in doors and B-pillars, Entire truck was Dynomatted inside, Expedition white side mirror covers, chrome 01-02 wheels (New Nitto 555 out back)  Fronts are ready to be replaced soon, 01 up LED third brake light, 01 and up upper and lower grills, Autometer Ultralite volt and boost gauge in A-Pillar Pod, Electric fan from a 2004 Mustang GT, new Ford OEM coilpacks, rear sliding window (Tinted) billet door lock knobs, billet tilt lever, new Ford OEM column shift with over drive button (Was looking kinda dingy), new OEM Ford floor mats, recharged ICE cold AC (No leaks), cruise, tilt, power windows, New door lock actuators, BBK shorty headers, custom mid pipe (No cats), Magnaflow catback, HID headlights...  the list goes on...

Issues...  Leaks oil about the size of a quarter when parked for a week or so (Haven't had much time to address but it looks to be from the oil pan drain plug).  As stated previously will need new front tires in the next 5-10k miles, felt strip on rear slider is missing and has been since I purchased it...  doesn't leak water, just don't have one nor bothered to get one, the PATS issue (Which again I can handle for an additional $150.00 after sale, One keyfob remote needs a battery (Comes with 2 sets of keys, no spare tire (Never had one), no jack (Never had one), no windshield washer bottle (I never let it get that dirty or drive it much)  can be bought online for 30 bucks... wiring harness still there, no wires cut (I think the original owner had a meth injection tank and took it out), that's about it.

All in all a great truck, a fast truck, a dependable truck, and a very well looked after truck.  You will not be disappointed and my feedback rating should speak to that as well.  Truck has a clear Texas title.  $1000.00 non refundable deposit due within 72 hours of auction ending.  Final payment must be Certified check or wire transfer that must clear a bank prior to taking receipt of truck.  Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping costs and or arrangements.   I will be available to meet a truck driver or assist in any logistics therein.  Truck is currently registered and inspected in Texas but tags and stickers will be removed prior to shipment.  Miles may change between now and end of auction but will not exceed 800 miles of current odometer reading.  As with any used vehicle there is no warranty expressed or implied. 

Thanks for taking the time to view this auction... Good luck and happy bidding.

2014 Ford Transit unveiled in Chassis Cab and Cutaway versions

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

As a leader in commercial vehicles here in the US, we knew Ford wouldn't take too long to show off the chassis cab and cutaway versions of its 2014 Ford Transit van. Set to go on sale this fall, Ford already revealed the full-body version of the Transit, and now it has pulled the cover off exposed-frame models just in time to to compete against the all-new Ram Promaster.
The term "chassis cab" refers to models with a fully enclosed cabin used for box vans or rental trucks, while cutaway models leave the cabin open behind the B-pillars for a pass-through on vehicles such as Class C motorhomes or ambulances. Both will offer three wheelbase options (138, 156 and 178 inches), the choice of single or dually rear axles, and plenty of upfitter-friendly touches including a pre-wired body harness and multiple body mount locations.
The new design will also help make upfitting a little easier since the fuel filler is now built into the cab (just behind the driver's door). Those integrated fuel filler necks will serve to feed either a 3.7-liter V6, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, or a 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel. Transit chassis cab and cutaways will wear varying Gross vehicle weight ratings from 9,000 pounds to 10,360 pounds depending on spec.

Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.

These horribly misguided front-drive design studies nearly became the Mustang

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

As we eagerly await the unveiling of the all-new sixth-generation Mustang, Ford has been giving us some great information over the past few months showing what has gone into shaping its venerable pony car. As many changes as the Mustang has gone through in its 50 years, though, it appears the fourth-gen model played a decisive and pivotal role in the car's future.
As is part of Mustang lore, the front-wheel drive Ford Probe was originally developed as a next-generation Mustang in the Eighties before cooler heads prevailed. The Blue Oval has just released a handful of images showing how bad things could have been - including a full-scale clay model of a front-wheel-drive Mustang (shown above). Fortunately, the FWD Mustang plan was scrapped and Ford went to work designing a rear-wheel-drive replacement for the Fox Body Mustang, with three design studies making it far enough to become full-scale models. These include the soft "Bruce Jenner" Mustang, the over-the-top "Rambo" Mustang and the middle-ground "Arnold Schwarzenegger" Mustang, which finally became the basis for the 1994 'Stang.
By early 1991, the design language of the fourth-generation Mustang had been worked out, and the rest, they say, is history. Scroll down for the fascinating press release telling the story of the fourth-gen Mustang, and be sure to check out the gallery of horribly misguided sketches and various design studies that were all on the table in the late 1980s.
