Listed for sale is this 2004 Ford Explorer XLT with approximately 119K miles. The vehicle is in very good condition inside and out. The interior shows some wear and tear, but the leather seats and carpet are free of rips. Front seats could use some leather cleaner, but the rest of the seats look almost new. The exterior is also in very good condition. There is paint peeling from the end of the hood caused by the wind visor that was recently moved. Overall, I rate the interior a 7.5, and the exterior an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10.

The vehicle will need some mechanical work. Installed what was believed to be a good transmission about 3 weeks. Once the transmission was installed, the vehicle shifted perfectly, but it had no park. It would rolled if the vehicle was not on a flat surface, but all the other gears worked perfectly. Now, the reverse only works some of the time. I had several mechanics said this has to do with the linkage, which could be caused if the transmission wasn't installed properly. The vehicle belongs to my uncle whose almost certain the transmission he purchased was good, but that it wasn't installed. My uncle happens to be a mechanic; however, he didn't install the transmission. He's not sure what he wants to do with the vehicle, and asked if I would list it on EBay for him. The car was just recently serviced and tuned-up. In addition, both catalytic convertors were replaced; so the vehicle sound a little louder than normal. However, both O2 sensors will need to be replaced.

This is a very nice vehicle overall, which is worth repairing. Again, he doesn't believe it's the transmission, but he's not 100% sure. However, he did get a quote for another transmission and installation, which came up to approximately $900 to $1000. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks and Good Luck!

Monsoon rains disrupt production for Ford, BMW in India

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Even modern production techniques can be stymied by Mother Nature. This was demonstrated most recently in India, as torrential, monsoon rains caused a deluge that forced multiple automakers to suspend production. Ford, Renault, and BMW all halted work at their Indian facilities around the southern city of Chennai, also known as Madras. The annual rains disrupted public transport around the city, preventing employees from making the trek into city's factories. According to Automotive News, Chennai saw 48 inches of precipitation last month alone, which is more than Seattle, WA saw in all of 2014. While Ford and BMW closed things down for all of December 1, Renault just cancelled a pair of shifts at its Chennai factory. This is the second time in the past month that automakers in southeast India have been forced to stop production due to severe flooding, and things aren't likely to improve. According to The Weather Channel, forecasts call for thunderstorms over five of the next seven days, while the chance of rain won't fall below 80 percent until December 8. Ford, Renault, and BMW are far from the only automakers that could stand to be impacted by the rains. The city has been nicknamed "The Detroit of India" for its extreme automotive presence. Daimler, Hindustan, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Nissan all own factories in the region.

MyFord Touch getting second update, extended warranty

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

There is no doubt that Ford has had its hands full fielding complaints with its MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems these days, but looking to keep its customers happy, Ford is once again upgrading its infotainment systems and extending the warranties. Despite having just sent out updates for its systems back in March, Automotive News says that customers are still complaining about the speed and ease of use.
Vehicles with MyFord Touch will now get a five-year, unlimited-mile warranty, while the MyLincoln Touch will have a six-year, unlimited-mile warranty. Previously, the systems were covered under basic warranties (three-year, 36,000-mile for Ford and four-year, 60,000-miles for Lincoln).
What is being referred to as "version 3.5" for the MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems will be mailed out (or downloaded) next month for owners of cars without navigation and in January for cars with nav. Owners of hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicles will get the update sometime in the first quarter of next year.
