Car has about 172k miles on it mostly highway miles to Memphis, TN but since I've had it, 2 years, it has been everyday back road driving. Has been in a few accidents. Engine shakes under heavy load. Have replaced injectors, gas tank, spark plugs, and checked valves. Most likely a bad sensor. Shows up on reading as cylinder 7 misfire. If you undo the battery cable and put it back on, it runs fine until check engine light comes on. Once check engine light comes on it is somewhat sensitive to medium-heavy acceleration. As long as you undo the battery cable and don't hit the accelerator really hard, it runs perfectly. Right rear tire went flat yesterday and I'm replacing it today. Car has a cracked windshield and front end damage. Paint is fairly good. Waxed regularly. Shows some signs of wear on hood and a significant amount of wear with scratches on roof. 2 dents on top of each front fender. Head lights are very clear. Brand new battery. Replacing oil this weekend, air filter is new and brakes have maybe 5,000 miles on them. Rims look decent. A little bit of wear but not noticeable from far away if cleaned. However, one rim had the cover come off and the other(both on right side) I think is coming off. Car has usual amount of carpet stains for a 9 year old vehicle. Aftermarket leather seats, 3rd row seats with power fold, 3 TVs, 1 fold down and 2 headrests, DVD players for each one. Navigation System with DVD/CD, carbon fiber interior panels. Also has a 1200 watt amp for a 10" subwoofer that is in the center console in a box. The sub sounds pretty good but with the 1200 watt amp you can easily upgrade to some more subs or more speakers. I love the truck, but I've come to the point where I can no longer afford it. For someone who can afford this truck and has a big family, this is the perfect vehicle. Also with little upgrades, this would be an awesome car to show off especially since 1 10" sub makes the mirrors rattle. Message me for any questions regarding this vehicle. I'll be happy to answer anything and thanks for looking!

What next for Alan Mulally?

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

Alan Mulally has emerged as a hero when it comes to American manufacturing. He came to Ford in 2006 after serving as head of Boeing's commercial aircraft division, streamlined operations, sold off the costly elements of its Premier Automotive Group and saved Ford from having to be bailed out by the federal government like its cross-town rivals Chrysler and General Motors did. But as we reported mere days ago, he's widely expected to step down from the chief executive's office at Ford shortly.
So what's next for one of the most successful executives in the business? Hard to say, but don't expect Mulally to disappear into retirement. Though he didn't ultimately take the top job at Microsoft, industry insiders expect to see him in another influential position - likely as a board director or even chairman of another company. (We say "another company" and not Ford because while Bill Ford may have stepped aside as CEO to bring Mulally on board in the first place, we don't see him giving up his chairmanship of the board also.)
Mulally has likely already lined up his next move, and could either announce what that move will be as soon as Ford confirms Mark Fields as his successor, or could wait awhile. Insiders speculate that he could leverage his transportation and aerospace experience into a position at General Electric or a major airline, his manufacturing expertise to benefit a company like Procter & Gamble or his management skills at a consultancy firm.

Jay Leno is far beyond driven in his 1971 Pantera

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

Perhaps it's fitting that the band Pantera is known for its heavy metal music, because the DeTomaso Pantera is the automotive equivalent of a metal album. It's short, aggressive and makes a mean sound. It doesn't mess around either, with a Ford 351-cubic-inch (5.75-liter) V8 sending mountains of torque to the rear wheels. This week, Jay Leno takes us on a detailed tour of his '71 to show why it rocks.
There's a regular format to Jay Leno's Garage. It starts with Jay and maybe a guest taking a look at the car and talking about its history, and then they take it out on the open road. However, this video is practically a Pantera buyer's guide. Jay is adamant from the start that the last thing anyone should own is a stock example. To remedy this, he and his guest, the editor of the Pantera Club magazine, take viewers to school about some of the ways to turn them into even better performance machines.
No matter what you do to it, though, the Pantera requires that the driver adapt to it, not the other way around. For example, Jay isn't a big guy by most standards, but he has to cram himself into the cockpit with his shoes off and shirt partially unbuttoned just to go for a drive. Still, once out on the road, it all makes sense with that rumbling V8 and those Italian supercar looks. Scroll down to watch and learn a lot more about this uncompromising '70s performance car.

The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
