This SUV was originally owned by a retired couple that towed it behind their large RV. They were the ones who had the transmission replaced and painted the top part black with Rustoleum metal flat black and a brush to prevent it from rusting, (which worked btw). I bought it two years ago and have used it for a camping and towing vehicle. It's been very reliable as far as starting in cold mornings, etc. I also used this SUV to learn about carburetors and Ford V6 engines; so there is more than a typical amount of new items and upgrades on this SUV that you normally won't see on something this old, all replaced in the last 12 months. My loss; your gain. I'm moving and this SUV won't fit my moving plans. Time to sell my toy!
What doesn't work:
* Cruise Control doesn't engage at all, it worked perfectly right before I had a shop replace some wiring in the dash a month ago, I assume they screwed something up. It might even be something not plugged in. I haven't checked thoroughly.
* Exhaust Manifold Leak: (i think) creating a light ticking/rattling sound that comes and goes on the passenger side. The new gaskets are only $20 each, but it takes a lot of labor to replace them so I haven't done it.
* Hot Air Diverter: I disconnected the hot air diverter. I don't live where I get snow so I didn't need the carb sucking hot air in all the time to warm up faster. I have all the parts and it passes smog with and without it being connected so there's no problems there.
* Only Driver Seat Installed, I have both rear seats and all the mounting hardware for them including seat belts, I don't have the front passenger seat. The Bronco will come with both rear seats in great working condition! They even fold down and everything. I just don't have them installed to save space and keep them clean.
* A/C, it leaks, but tries to engage when I started to fill it with a leftover refrigerant can I had. It's fully converted to 134a, I don't know how long it will work when completely filled or not. It never bothered me so I didn't work on it (ac parts can get expensive).
* The only dent on the whole thing is on the front passenger corner. The whole quarter panel only costs $50 to replace if you're interested you can get it from rockauto.com. The hood has a small bend where the stand holds it up, you don't even notice it, but the hood is also available for about $100 if you wanted to replace it.
* Electric Choke, it works, I replaced it recently. But the gasket didn't fit so it was loose, right now I have it propped open a little. You would need to adjust this in order to start it in winter or below freezing temps.

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to recreate Empire State Building stunt
Tue, 25 Mar 2014It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.
Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year
Fri, 11 Jan 2013With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
