This truck was Lowered and Mini Tubbed in the summer of 2011, The rear end is an 8.8 positrac with 3:73 gears and 31 spline Moser axles. The inner wheel wells were moved in 2" and the bed spray lined by Scorpion bed lining. The springs were moved from outside the frame rails to under the rails using Ford Explorer mounts and the frame was C-notched. It has 15x5 front wheels with 155/80R15 B.F. Goodrich tires and the rear has 15X10 with 275/60R15 B.F. Goodrich tires, tires were New in 2011.It has 3" drop beams and New Upper and Lower Ball Joints, also New Inner and Outer Tie Rod ends and Drag link. New shocks and the brakes were replaced completely including New hardware and hoses. I used Timken, Moog, FoMoCo, Raybestos Wagner and Energy Suspension parts to name a few. I didn't use the cheap parts because I had planned to put a 5.0 from a Mustang GT in it for myself to drive. It is an A/C truck. When I bought it had the factory 2.9 V6 with a Koyo 5 Spd. I found a truck with a 2.3 4 Cyl. and a Mazda 5 Spd. that had been wrecked with about 87000 miles on it. I changed everything over everything and those who have looked at it say they couldn't tell the engine wasn't factory. I put a factory Ford 2.3 header on it. and at the time I changed the motor and trans I took the head off and had it checked for cracks I reinstalled the head with New head gasket, Water pump and timing belt and also installed an New Clutch Pressure plate and throw out bearing, pilot bearing. I also changed the plugs, wires and coils at that time. The truck runs and drives very well. Great start on a V8 Ranger or just a toy as it is. I also have some extra parts included, Traction bars, Rear bumper off a Bronco II and a low back 60/40 bench seat also a crack free dash. The truck shows 98422 on the odometer the motor and trans now have around 100,000 on them. |

Ford and BraunAbility team up for wheelchair-accessible Explorer
Fri, Jul 24 2015BraunAbility, a creator of wheelchair-accessible vehicles that are usually based on minivans, has teamed up with Ford to create the MXV, a vehicle the company hails as the first of its kind. In addition to the obvious exterior modifications that include sliding doors, this Explorer-based mobility vehicle has removable driver and passenger seats and a powered ramp that nestles into the vehicle's floor. Modifications to the regular Explorer platform will allow wheelchair users to operate the MXV from the driver's position with the normal seat removed, ride along as a front passenger, or enjoy 56 inches of cabin height in the middle row, which is large enough to accommodate most power wheelchairs. Best we can tell, there are no changes to the Explorer's powertrain, which means a 3.5-liter V6 engine with 290 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque will provide motivation, not to mention 5,000-pounds worth of towing capacity. Fuel economy from the MXV matches that of the Explorer, with 17 city, 24 highway, and 20 combined. The twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 isn't available. Unfortunately, all-wheel drive also isn't available from BraunAbility due to the lowered floor necessary to make the vehicle large enough to work as a proper mobility vehicle. Even so, the Explorer looks like a pretty nice platform with which to build such a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, with good looks, good driving manners, and the kind of rugged looks you can't find in a minivan. Expect to see the MXV at BraunAbility dealers this fall, but don't expect to be first in line. Vehicle No. 1 has been promised to wounded veteran Mike Delancey, a United States Marine paralyzed by a sniper's bullet while serving in Iraq in 2006. Take a look at the images above, and feel free to peruse the press release for all the details below.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
