Ford F-250 Import and Compliance

Not so long ago, we took delivery of a Ford F-250, fresh off the boat from the USA. It came into the Brookvale workshop for a full mechanical overhaul to get it road-ready and compliant for Australian conditions.

First up was the exhaust system. We fabricated a custom setup in-house, building 2-inch engine pipes that feed into a 2-into-1 muffler, finishing with a single 2.5-inch pipe out the back. It’s a practical upgrade that improves flow and gives the truck a better note.

To meet registration standards, we removed the US-spec lighting and installed Right Hand Drive (RHD) headlights with the correct beam pattern. We also stripped and overhauled the rear brakes to ensure the truck stops safely.

Under the bonnet, we addressed several maintenance issues. We repaired multiple oil leaks and diagnosed an engine misfire, getting the V8 running smoothly again. With the mechanicals sorted and compliance boxes ticked, this F-250 is ready for the road.

If you have an import car that needs a mechanics attention to become road compliant, give us a call.
