2000 Ford Explorer Sport Sport Utility 2-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
Clean 2 owner title 2000 Ford Explorer Sport, 234,000+ miles which needs (I'm told) a new clutch and transmission. Listed as "mechanics special" as the rest of the truck from a running perspective is mechanically sound. Engine, belts, diffs, suspension, exhaust, brakes (except emergency, more on that below) all are in working order with no leaks/drips. Tires should be replaced this year and body has normal wear and tear for being used both on and off road and has rust on the rear bumper and body on drivers side door entry which is typical for this model. Interior is fair for its age but carpets and passenger seat could use some cleaning but no rips, tears or holes.
Things that could be fixed but are not necessary to make it run: - Emergency brake. I actually had this fixed but for whatever reason it won't engage the rear brakes. Pedal is tight so it may just need some tweaking - Turn signal module. Turn signals both work but it gets stuck every couple of months. - Drivers side door lock. It works (in theory), key fob doesn't unlock drivers door, just everything else... the rivet that holds the internal box inside the door came loose so you have to unlock from inside of truck by pulling the door handle. It's an easy fix, I just never got around to do it. - Radio antenna. Douchebag in Mt Adams broke it off. I don't listen to the radio so I never fixed it. Again, another easy peasy one. - Rear Lund wind deflector. You could remove it, but you would have to patch the holes you would have in the hatch door. It broke years ago and I ghetto rigged it back together using inner-city ingenuity, glue and gorilla tape. It has sentimental value to me, doubt it would for you however. - Rear wiper, needs a new one although I'm not really sure why Ford even has one because I could never, ever get it to work right. There are a few other things such as rock chips in front glass (but no cracks), missing mudflap etc that have nothing whatsoever to do mechanically. Just things from wear and tear. I've taken plenty of pictures so judge for yourself. The truck still runs but needs transmission attention... $600.00 cash/cashiers check or PayPal only. |

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
249 reasons you want to go to Goodwood Revival
Sat, Sep 16 2023At its most basic, Goodwood Revival is a long weekend worth of car races featuring cars made before 1970. There are lots of those, though, including some pretty great ones all over the world. But nothing is like Goodwood Revival because it's so much more than "just" vintage car racing. First, you have to look the part. Attendees are strongly encouraged to dress in period clothing from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, with a strict dress code enforced should you want to enter the paddock. The goal is to create a more authentic atmosphere to match the cars and the meticulously restored and recreated paddocks, grandstands and other facilities of the reborn Goodwood circuit. Now, the dress code was relaxed this year since the Saturday was literally the hottest Sept. 9 on record in that part of England, and the organizers didn't want people dropping dead because they needed to wear an ascot. Some people definitely took the "relaxed" bit too far, but there was still plenty of atmosphere maintained. It really does make a big difference, as those "relaxed" individuals were often akin to seeing a Starbucks cup in a scene from "Game of Thrones." You can see what I came up with below along with former Autoblog editor Reese Counts and various other Goodwood attendees. Second, there's the parking lot. But I'll let this entire separate post detail that. Third, there's the enormous carnival-like area featuring vintage-looking rides and various boutiques. Both of those are on the outside portion of the track, and honestly, you could easily just spend your entire day in the parking lot and carnival/shopping area without even crossing over into the circuit area. There you'll find more shops, food and drink opportunities, plus obviously, race car paddocks and the track itself. Fourth, there are airplanes! I heard there are fewer than in the past, but they're there and they're cool. The Goodwood circuit started out life as the perimeter road around the World War II airfield RAF Westhampnett. Fifth, with all of the above, Goodwood Revival really is fun for the whole family. It isn't just a bunch of old guys sitting around in lawn chairs. There are plenty of women and adorably dressed children, including babies in vintage prams. It's also not an event that's exclusively for the uber rich, even if they are certainly in full force given who has the sort of money needed to go vintage racing.
Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage
Mon, 17 Mar 2014There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.
