Up for Auction is a 1973 Ford Bronco I am selling for my Uncle who now resides in Florida. The Bronco belonged to his brother who sadly passed away last fall. The Bronco was purchased by him in 2008 and restored by him in the winter of 08/09. It shows 73717 on the odometer, which is currently working and I would believe to be accurate original mileage, however I can make no guarantees as we unfortunately don't have that information. I am posting this add with the information that I have found in receipts and by looking the vehicle over in my shop. I have found receipts for oil pump, water pump, cam & lifters, valve job, ect so I believe that the 302ci v8 was rebuilt in the summer of 2009. I have also found receipts for body panels, floor pans, paint and labor in the winter of 08/09. It would appear to me that after purchase in 2008 the Bronco underwent a complete home garage restoration. It has a James Duff multi shock suspension lift with 33X14.50R15LT tires tucked under it. Along with a James Duff steering stabilizer, rebuilt power steering pump and gear box. It appears the axles were rebuilt and that ARB air lockers were installed at that time along with warn locking front hubs. The bronco has a 4spd manual transmission and a 2spd transfer case for 4wd mode. The interior has front bucket leather seats with a locking Tuffy center console and glove box. AM/FM cassette stereo with 6x9 speakers in boxes along with a Clarion Amp and a subwoofer in the rear. The bronco does not have any rear seating at this time. It does have a roll bar with multiple grab handles. The top is removable and it does have a Bestop Bikini Top that comes with it. The bronco has dual fuel tanks and they appear to switch as they should. The truck has numerous add-ons that I can see, too many to list even though I found receipts for most so that I could. I however recommend if you are interested that you come and see it in person as I said I do not know alot about the vehicle and we have no one to inquire with, so I also ask that you inspect it and be sure that you know what is there as I said I am going by receipts and what little knowledge we have of the vehicle. I know that after it was restored it has seen very little mileage and had been sitting in garage for years. The bronco was removed from the garage in the spring and transported to Turner Automotive in Victor, N.Y. where it was gone through in order to sell there on consignment. I picked it up from them recently as it did not sell. I flat hauled it to my residence and then drove it approximately 2 miles to be sure it ran, drove and stopped as it should. Everything appears to work as it should on test drive. I did observe a small coolant leak where water pump mounts and a oil pan gasket leak which I cleaned and tightened, may need new gaskets, I believe the gaskets dried out while sitting for an extended period. The truck is in nice shape and had a good home shop restoration, with that said it is not showroom perfect. I again ask that you inspected it before bidding as I make no guarantees on the vehicle or its condition. I want you the buyer to be happy with it and not to go by my description. I do have a clear New York State Title for the vehicle and can provide a sales tax form or receipt from the estate. Shipping is the responsibilty of the buyer. I will require a non-refundable$500.00 deposit via paypal and require the rest in cash or certified bank check upon pick-up. I also reserve the right to end this auction as I do have the vehicle for sale locally. If you have any further questions or wish to make an appointment to view this vehicle you can reach me at 585-281-5416 by text or call.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"

Ford spills SEMA all over its Expeditions

Sat, 01 Nov 2014

If you're going to this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas, it's going to be tough to miss the Ford booth, simply for its size. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen customized examples of the 2015 Mustang and a quintet of modded Transits. The latest announced addition is a trio of upgraded 2015 Expeditions showing different takes on the recently refreshed SUV.
Any vehicle tuned by Dub Magazine needs to ride on massive wheels, and the Expedition (pictured above) that it has for SEMA is no exception. The SUV has 26-inch Dropstars wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires, and, making them look even larger, the suspension is also lowered. The rest of the custom has some mild upgrades like mesh grilles in front, tinted windows, an integrated radar detector and new upholstery inside.
Tijn wants to boost the performance of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 for its take on the Expedition. The company claims to add 40 horsepower to bring total output to a claimed 405 by upgrading the engine with a charge cooler from Vortech Engineering, a custom side exhaust and a custom tune. To match the extra grunt, the SUV also gets bigger brakes, an Air Lift suspension and 24-inch, copper-colored wheels with custom fender flares.

Ford issues four recalls covering 163k vehicles

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Recalls! 2014 will be forever remembered as the year that automakers went recall crazy, with millions and millions of vehicles adding up to crush previous recall records well before the end of the year. Adding to that tally is Ford, which announced a call-back for 163,000 vehicles.
Leading that charge are the 2.0-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder engines of the Ford Focus ST and Ford Escape. 160,000 of the 2013 and 2014 models have bad wiring harnesses that can disrupt the signals traveling to the powertrain control module. That, in turn, could lead to a check engine light, reduced power and stalling. Notably, Ford hasn't recalled any other vehicles that feature the 2.0 EcoBoost, such as the Fusion, Taurus or Explorer.
While the Focus ST and Escape constitute the vast majority of recalled vehicles, they aren't the only problem children in the Ford family. 1,300 Transit passenger vans from model year 2015 were recalled due to brake fluid leaks, while another 600 Transit cargo variants were recalled after Ford discovered the windowless sliding doors could come open in the event of a side-impact crash. Dealers will replace the sealing washers on the passenger variants and add a reinforcement plate on the cargo models, The Detroit News reports.
