I have a 1985 Ford Bronco up for sale.  This is a decent project vehicle that needs very little mechanically.  The body is in need of some attention though.  The truck has 91,000 original miles on it.  This vehicle is a 2 owner, family owned vehicle.  It has the 5.8-liter 351 4 valve high output engine paired with the 3-speed automatic transmission.  It has manual locking hubs that move freely and a manual shifting 4x4 selector on the floor that engages properly with no flaws.  The interior is in great shape.  The carpet has a few bare spots in the back cargo area from something being spilled.  The dash has 2 hairline cracks about 2" in length but is in great shape compared to most of these Broncos this age.  The truck did run great with no flaws until Tuesday morning.  I'm pretty sure either the starter or flywheel went out.  When you try to start it the starter engages but spins freely as if the teeth from the flywheel could be stripped.  So the vehicle doesn't start currently and will need towed or trailered.  It did run great up until the other day with no leaks or issues.  The rear window works and tailgate operates like new.  The front windows are power and go down easily but need a little help coming back up.  All of the dash features work including the factory tachometer and stereo.  The air conditioning belt has been removed due to a bad pulley on the ac compressor.  The front brakes are 2 months old, the tires are brand new with only 500 miles on them.  The tires are Mastercraft Courser M/T mud terrain tires and are like new!  The Bronco was involved in a traffic accident in 2011 that involved the front fender and door hence the multi-colored door and fender.  Due to the age and condition of the vehicle, the insurance company totalled the Bronco.  I rebuilt it with the fender and door and had it inspected and received a rebuilt salvage title.  So yes, it is road worthy and legal to drive and put plates on it.  The title is signed, notarized and ready for the new owner.  This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION with a starting price of $500.00!!!  I just paid $850.00 for the tires alone.  If you have any questions, please call or text Zach at 330-546-3323.  Thank you.

NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.

Autocar pits Formula Ford against Germany's finest

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Ford has quite the racing pedigree, but usually, its racers are relegated to the track. Not the new Formula Ford EcoBoost, though. It's a turbocharged, open-wheeled racer complete with a 200-horsepower, 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine... and it's legal on the roads of the UK.
That's stressed in this video from Autocar, with the mag going so far as to show the car's tax disc and license plates. Being a road-legal offering, it's tempting to see just how well an open-wheeler that delivers racecar-like performance while also netting over 100 miles per gallon (assume this is on the British cycle, for obvious reasons) stacks up against modern performance cars.
Autocar lined up the Formula Ford against an Audi R8 V10, a BMW M6 Gran Coupe and a Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG in a number of situations to see which would come out on top. Take a look below for the full video.

Ford Mustang, F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator recalled

Wed, Apr 27 2016

The Basics: Ford will recall 201,900 examples of the 2011-2012 F-150, 2012 Expedition, 2012 Mustang, and 2012 Lincoln Navigator. The affected vehicles have the 6R80 transmission. Of the total, there are 84,000 of them in the United States and 17,900 in Canada. The Problem: The output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame can force the gearbox to downshift into first gear. If this happens at high speed, it could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. Injuries/Deaths: There are no reported injuries, but Ford know of three accidents related to this problem. The Fix: Dealers will update the powertrain control module software to eliminate the problem, and they'll also replace the transmission lead frame. If You Own One: Ford will begin notifying affected customers by mail on May 23.

Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall and customer satisfaction program for certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles in North America to update powertrain control module software and inspect for certain diagnostic trouble codes Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 202,000 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles for a potential issue with the output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame. Under certain conditions, the transmission controls could force a temporary downshift into first gear. Depending on the speed of the vehicle at the time of the downshift, the driver could experience an abrupt speed reduction that could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. This condition could result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Ford is aware of three reports of accidents and no injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles are equipped with a 6R80 transmission and include certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Dearborn Truck Plant and Kansas City Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through March 9, 2012; 2012 Ford Expedition vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Dec. 19, 2011; Ford Mustang vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Feb.
