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.

Ford settles class action suit over defective Navistar diesel engines

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

The 2003 Ford F-Series Super Duty (shown above) introduced the 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel supplied by Navistar, and while that is an engine Ford would love to forget, it's now one step closer to putting that particular problem behind it. Automotive News is reporting that Ford has settled a class-action lawsuit brought on by problems with this engine that started right out of the gate and ultimately broke up the 30-year relationship between Ford and Navistar.
Owners and lessees of 2003-2007 Super Duty trucks and E-Series vans equipped with the 6.0-liter Power Stroke are eligible for deductible reimbursements of between $50 and $200 from the original five-year/100,000-mile engine warranty, while Ford is paying out as much as $825 for out-of-warranty engine repairs. These repairs may include the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler, EGR valve, oil cooler, fuel injectors and turbocharger, but are only covered if the components failed before six years or 135,000 miles.
In total, Ford has agreed to pay about 50 percent of the value of the repairs and deductibles paid by its customers who submit a claim before the end of this year, and $150,000 is going to the 16 named plaintiffs in the case; Navistar was not included in the lawsuit.

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9.

Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief

Thu, 29 May 2014

The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
