I am shutting my business down and will no longer need this truck. It is a great running truck and gets good fuel mileage despite its size, usually around 16 mpg. I have keep the maintenance up on this truck because this is my only truck and I can't afford break downs. All of the fluids are changes every year, includes transmission, power steering, brake, antifreeze, differentials, and gearbox. The engine oil every 2 months. I have replaced many parts on the truck including, front wheel hub assemblies, tie rod end, shocks, steering stabilizer, ball joints, thermostat, coolant tank, STC fitting for HP oil pump, dummy plugs in fuel rail, front rotors and pads, rear brakes (rotors, pads, calipers, hoses), rear wheel bearings, all u-joints, carrier bearing. Most of these parts were replaced due to preventive maintenance. There are a few things that I haven't replaced, the right rear parking brake cable and the exciter ring in the rear differential. The original exciter ring somehow came off the ring gear and broke the rear speed sensor. It causes the ABS light it be on because I removed the exciter ring and haven't gotten around to replacing it. The speedometer stills works because the truck has a back up sensor in the transmission. The check engine light stays on due to the EGR system being disabled. The EGR system has caused issues with these 6.0 liter engines, so I modified it. There is a plug in the back of the EGR Cooler and the EGR valve is unplugged. I have also removed the catalytic converter because it puts a tremendous drag on the engine, I kept the original converter because it is a $1200 part. The STC fitting at the High Pressure oil pump was replaced because it is a common problem for the trucks, and the dummy plugs in rails where replaced because they are a common issue. The issues these two parts caused were when the truck was hot then shut down, the hot engine oil was thin enough to leak through these fittings causing the truck unable to start to until it cooled down. I have been very happy with this motor/transmission in this truck. It has the 6 speed torqshift transmission, a very strong transmission. It only shifts 5 times because it depends on the temperature and tow/haul function. Basically the overdrive is a gear, not the torque converter locking up in 5th gear. The truck also has supplement air bags installed on the rear axle. It makes it a really smooth ride. Also works great if hauling a heavy trailer because it eliminates the need for a load leveling hitch. I had a large camper that I hauled 4 times and tried it with and without the load leveler. Just simply pumping up the air bags to 40 psi was much better and a smoother rider then the load leveler. There are 5 wheels for the truck, 4 are polished chrome and 1 black steel spare. I have also keep the 4 rotors (front and rear) because they have enough steel to be turned. If you have any questions feel free to email me.

Ford Mustang 50th anniversary edition brings in $170k
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Just the other day, we reported on the first Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat selling for a whopping $825,000 at auction. But impressive as that sum was, the Challenger wasn't the only sought-after modern muscle car to cross the Barrett-Jackson auction block in Las Vegas this past weekend. So did this rare Ford Mustang.
The last of 1,964 special-edition 50 Years Limited Edition pony cars sold for a princely $170,000, with proceeds benefiting the Edith and Benson Ford Heart & Vascular Institute, a branch of the Henry Ford Health System.
The pony car in question is based on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT and upgrades with a performance package and nearly every option on the book, along with a unique appearance package to set it apart in celebration of the Mustang's 50th anniversary. It's available in two exclusive shades - Wimbledon white or Kona blue - with either a manual or automatic transmission. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples were to be built, and this was the last of them.

Jay Leno drives postcard-perfect '32 Ford Highboy Roadster
Mon, 25 Aug 2014At the turn of the century, it was arguably the Honda Civic that best defined inexpensive performance tuning, and in the '50s it was the Tri-5 Chevys. One of the earliest platforms to gain a huge following among young people looking for a cheap way to go fast was the classic '32 Ford Highboy Roadster. This week, Jay Leno's Garage looks at one of the very first vehicles that defined the look of the hot rod heyday.
This '32 Ford was built in the '40s and graced the cover of the fourth issue of Hot Rod Magazine back in 1948. All of the hot rods that you see shining at car shows today owe a serious debt of gratitude to this roadster. It bears all of the cues that define the look, including a notched frame and hidden door hinges. Under the three-piece hood is a flathead V8 boasting all sorts of period modifications, including copper cylinder heads. It was seriously fast in its era too, and proved it by reaching 112.21 miles per hour on a dry lakebed in 1947.
These days, this hot rod is on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Although, if you can't make it to California to see it, the United States Postal Service is celebrating this Ford with one of its two hot rod Forever stamps. Like Jay says in the video, in terms of hot rodding, "it all comes back to this." Check out the video to learn more about this rolling piece of tuning history.
