I have for sell a 2005 Ford F650 with a caterpillar C7 engine and Allison transmission. The truck has a custom made
hood to fit the new f-series headlights, once the headlights were done being installed the truck was sprayed with
Titanium dioxide for the ultra pure white base for the pearls to be sprayed over. It has a mix of 6 different
pearls for the Titanium Dioxide base to have a different color shade depending on which angle you look at the truck
from. It has green, gold, blue, red, magenta and purple. When the sun is shining directly on the side and looks
greenish-goldish once the truck is in the shade or the sun is going down it the pearl starts to shift to gold-green
on the higher edges to blue-purple-red looking pearl hits over the Titanium Dioxide. Once the outside was finished
I had the interior swapped over to a full King Ranch leather interior with new carpet and real suede headliner. As
you may know this year model has the same school bus looking dash and a 1999-2007 f-350 so I had the dash board
swapped over to the newer 2008 and up dash board but it didn't stop there, before installing the dash it was sent
off to have the entire dash, windshield pillars, door pillars, the back cab pillars and door switch panels entirely
hydro dipped in mahogany to separate it from all the other trucks out there. Once the new dash was installed the
truck was taken to Augusta Ga to have the new 2008 and newer style gauge cluster with white led lights to
illuminate the dials. For the sound system I had a Kenwood touch screen radio put into the dash with Alpine type-R
component speakers for the highs and 3 12" pioneer ib Flat subwoofers behind the rear seat. The entire truck is
covered with 2 layers of sound deadening material. All the power and ground wires on the truck have been swapped
over to 0 gauge wire running to the stereo, amplifiers, all 3 batteries and the alternator. After the interior was
finished the attention was back to the exterior with the installation on the triple step stainless steel fuel
tanks. They will hold about 130-140 gallons per side. For the big tough look I had 385/65r22.5 Firestone tires on
the steers with Alcoa wheels and 315/80r22.5 Firestone tires on the drives on Alcoa wheels. For the rear suspension
I had K&L customs install Air Liner air suspension to smooth out the ride and on the front it has the stock Ford
suspension with the addition of Fox Racing remote reservoir shocks. For peace of mind the truck has a Viper remote
start alarm with GPS tracking that is smart phone compatible for real time tracking of where the truck is location
direction and speed it's traveling. It also has a KVH satellite TV system on the rails of a Cadillac Escalade EXT
roof rack.
For the bad:
Truck does not have a air compressor installed for the air suspension. It has a air valve for manual filling. With
normal driving it requires air about once every 3 weeks. I have a TruFlo 550 engine driven compressor that I will
include with the truck for the new owner to install.
The RPM gauge on the cluster does not read as the cat engine puts out a different signal than the gauges I found
would accept. I'm sure someone out there can fix it I just haven't found the right person
to do it.

Autoblog Podcast #327:
New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides
Mon, 22 Jul 2013It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.
Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.
