Good running truck, would make a great work truck, play truck, or toy hauler. I bought the truck a few months ago thinking it would work for my business but I need a regular bed truck not an SUV. Temp never goes above 1/4, it starts up when you want it to, and runs like a champ. The 3 speed C6 transmission is not a highway cruiser, but it's built like a tank.

 

I'm not going to sugarcoat or hide what the truck needs. The a/c doesn't "need a recharge" it needs to be fixed. The check engine light bulb isn't "blown" it's on, and if you don't like the light on you can replace the part it needs or take the bulb out yourself. This is a 25 year old truck that is in overall good condition for it's age. It doesn't need anything to be a daily driver, it's the creature comforts that need to be addressed.

 

 

*what it needs*

Exhaust work, it's not crazy loud but there's some exhaust leaks somewhere, they get quieter when the truck is warmed up

A/C Condenser (a/c works fine if the condenser is replaced, rock hit it on the highway)

Possibly Heater core (was bypassed when I bought the truck, I'm sure someone didn't bypass it for fun)

Clock Spring for the steering wheel (Horn and cruise don't work because of this)

Check Engine Light is on code 67 (mechanic told me it was the neutral safety switch which doesn't affect drive-ability, the light just stays on)

Dome light doesn't come on, there's no bulb in it but I don't think there's power to it either

Oil Pressure gauge is broken, the red "engine" oil pressure light still works, the gauge just doesn't.

Rust spots repaired on roof - I sprayed the spots with rust inhibitor to keep it from worsening but it needs to be repaired. There is also one spot on the passenger side door jamb. This truck has lived in Florida for a while and the rust on the roof shows that she's been to the beaches some. The undercarriage does not have any rust that is noticeable, just mud :)

Turn signal blinks fine, but doesn't stay when you use to the right, works fine left.

Honda poised for growth, Detroit to hold steady, Car Wars study says

Fri, Jun 5 2015

The automotive industry is expected to keep booming in the US over the next several years, but the train might start running out of steam in the long term, according to 2015's Car Wars report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy. The forecast focuses on changes between the 2016 and 2019 model years, and the latest trends appear similar in some cases to the past predictions. Sales are expected to keep growing and reach a peak of 20 million in 2018, according to the Detroit Free Press. The expansion is projected to come from a quick pace of vehicle launches, with an average of 48 introductions a year – 26 percent more than in 1996. Crossovers are expected to make up a third of these, maintaining their strong popularity. However, Murphy predicts a decline, as well. By 2025, total sales could fall to around 15 million units. As of May 2015, the seasonally adjusted annual rate for this year stands at 17.71 million. Like last year, Honda is predicted to be a big winner in the future thanks to products like the next-gen Civic. "Honda should be the biggest market share gainer," Murphy said when presenting the report, according to Free Press. Meanwhile, in a situation similar to Car Wars from 2012, a lack of many new vehicles is expected to cause a drop for Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan. Based on this forecast, Ford, General Motors, and FCA US will all generally maintain market share for the coming years. The report does make some future product predictions, though. The next Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra might come in 2019, which is earlier than expected. Also, Lincoln could get a Mustang-based coupe for 2017, a compact sedan for 2018 and an Explorer-based model in 2019, according to the Free Press.

Time to catch up with Jay Leno's Garage, including his Lamborghini Espada restoration

Tue, Dec 23 2014

If you're already jealous of the time, effort and money that Jay Leno can devote to his massive car collection, prepare to get a little greener with envy with this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. Instead of the usual format of discussing a model for about ten minutes and then taking it out for a test drive, this week Leno gives viewers on a tour of over a dozen projects concurrently happening in his stable. The breadth of the vehicles shown and the things being done to them run the entire span of the automotive hobby. At the same time, Jay's shop is working on just a simple restoration of his 1969 Lamborghini Espada (pictured), and at the other side of the building, the team is rebuilding a wood-bodied 1914 Detroit Electric from scratch. He eventually plans to slot a more modern electric drivetrain into it. If bikes are more your interest, there's a freshly completed Brough Superior just waiting for a ride, and if American models are your thing, a Ford Bronco is getting a Coyote V8 installed into it. You have some very specific tastes if you can't watch this clip and start wishing at least one of these vehicles could be in your own garage. Other than the personal projects his mechanics are working on in the shop, Jay gets to have them all, plus plenty more.

Ford family keeps special voting rights

Fri, 10 May 2013

Ford Motor Company has a dual-class stock structure of Class A and Class B shares. The roughly three billion Class A shares are for the general public like you and me, while the roughly 71 million Class B shares are all owned by the Ford family. Each Class A share gets the shareholder one vote, each Class B share is worth 16 votes, the result being that Common Stock holders control about 60 percent of the company while the Ford family controls 40 percent even though it holds far fewer shares. The only way that could ever change would be if the Fords sell their Class B shares, but even so, Class B shares revert to Class A when sold outside the family, so they'd have to sell a whole bunch of them.
A contingent of Class A shareholders think the dual-class system is unfair, and for the past few years a vote's been held during the annual shareholders meeting to end it. It has failed every time, as it just did again during the meeting held this week. A smidge over 33 percent voted to end the dual system, outvoted by the 67 percent who are happy with the way Ford is going - unsurprising in view of a corporate turnaround that will be part of business-class curricula for years to come.
On the sidelines, Ford elected Ellen R. Marram to the post of independent director, the first woman to hold the job. The former Tropicana CEO and 20-year Ford board member replaces retiring board member Irvine Hockaday who helped bring Alan Mulally to the CEO position.
