Good old "Blue Suede Shoes" needs help my lousy back won't let me do, even though it's not a serious problem. Water pump spews water after starting, but leaks very little once driving. Needs new water pump installed, not hard on a 6 cylinder like this. Also, starter bendix is going out, will eventually need starter. It turns then goes "wing" a couple times sometimes, then starts. Not the flywheel, always engages that, so has to be the starter bendix gear. Otherwise no real problems, I still drive it locally, but wouldn't take it out on the highway anymore until the pump is replaced. Once that's done, doesn't overheat, good cooling system. Leaks some oil (probably the usual rear main seal), I park it on dirt, loses 1/2 quart between changes, max. Lights, horn, all that works, has good tires, not el-cheapos, 1/3 tread gone, disc brakes have at least 50% pads left. Overdrive transmission is cool, acts like a regular 3 speed manual, then big RPM drop for the freeway in overdrive. Call her a fixer upper I guess, I just can't do the work anymore, or use her for parts, whatever you want.
Story is worth telling, this van worked in San Diego for decades hauling fishermen into Mexico (has ball hitch). The owner ALWAYS took it to Ford, so it was extremely well maintained, Motorcraft battery, all genuine parts Ford wherever I looked. It was his livelihood, so he had them fix whatever the service writer told him it needed. I got it 10K miles ago, replaced the I-beam bushings, cap rotor, plugs and wires, that's all it needed, it's been my motorcycle hauler for 6 years now. Radio needs new antenna, AC doesn't work, I never tried to have it charged. Left side rear window not factory, installed for passengers' view it appears.
Van is in Tombstone Arizona, one hour southeast of Tucson, 50 miles west of New Mexico border, 35 miles north of Mexican border. Come get it, sorry, no delivery available.

Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR
Fri, Jun 5 2015As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.

Watch NASCAR racer Brad Keselowski do a burnout... in a hotel conference room
Fri, 08 Mar 2013A vast majority of hotels frown upon smoking inside the building these days, but Brad Keselowski doesn't follow the rules. During his introduction at the 2013 MiilerCoors Distribution Convention, the reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champion smoked the tires of his Miller-sponsored Ford Fusion stock car, adding a pair of thick, black stripes to the carpeting of the Marriott World Center's conference room.
This definitely isn't a high-quality video, but it's the perfect vantage point to watch Keselowski lay down some rubber and receive a well-deserved standing ovation after pulling up in front of the crowd. Check out the short-but-sweet video posted below.
2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.
