I had great plans for this truck, (and still do if it doesn't sell). When I bought It 8 months ago, 2 weeks later I was offered a job in Utah and moved 2 weeks after that. I bought it because it is a very rare version of f150. What makes this a rare truck well. #1 it is a super cab. #2 it is a short box. #3 it is 2 wheel drive. #4 It is a 300 ci 6cyl automatic. #5 dual tanks. Even more rare here in Utah is the lack of rust on this truck. There is no more than some surface rust on the roof. Now none of those items is rare or unique by itself, however the combination is vary rare. I moved from Portland Oregon and bought the truck out of central Oregon (Salem). When my wife drove the truck from there to here we went through 5 tanks of fuel and she averaged 19.8 mpg. Now this is my daily driver and I usually get between 16 and 18 mpg with combined in town and freeway driving. It is very reliable and comfortable. Since I have owned it I have replaced the passenger side floor pan, and part of the drivers door jamb. Installed rear slider, tune up, oil pan gasket, I replaced the rear jump seats with a matching bench (I still have the jump seats). Installed a receiver hitch and wiring with a factory connector (no wires were cut). It is the original paint that has been touched up by a previous owner. It looks good but a new paint job isn't far off. Especially in the Utah sun. It has some chips here and there. everything works all the lights, fuel switch, gauges, power steering, brakes, everything. It appears to me from the condition of the truck and receipts I have found that the truck was gone through about 10 years ago and got touch up paint, tires, wheels, shock, steering bushings, headliner, door seals (those could be replaced again they are starting to crack), the front seat has a tear and a duct tape patch. And the back seat has developed a tear since I installed it. The truck leaks nothing but could use a tranny pan gasket. I get compliments everywhere I go. it runs cool and quiet and looks good. I have a few parts I was planning on putting on it that will go with it. If you want them. A full set of aluminum mags. They are Outlaw style. I also have a 4 barrel intake manifold for it as I was planning on removing the one barrel to get a little more horsepower. I do not have the 390 cfm carb to go with it. The offenhauser intake is brand new, never been installed. I have a clean clear Oregon title. I have not transferred it to Utah yet.

Mustang-themed pinball game debuting in Chicago [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Believe it or not, but new pinball machines are still being made. Chicago-based Stern Pinball still makes them and has found a niche selling modern machines to individual buyers and arcade distributors. For its latest cabinet, Stern partnered with Ford to create a pinball game that pays homage to the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, including the next generation. The new machine is being unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6 and goes on sale in March.
Stern is offering the machine in three variants. The pro-level machine is meant for arcades and public spaces and retails for $4,995. All of them come with background and cabinet art by Camilo Pardo, who designed the Ford GT, and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is the game's announcer. Depending on where players shoot the ball, they activate events that simulate drag racing, rallying, drifting and racing the Mustang, and hitting targets lets players shift the gears up and down.
An upgraded, premium table with added art will be added later for pinball machine collectors. The third model is a signed, special edition with art of the 1965 Mustang and 2015 Mustang on the machine and chrome and Mustang badges on the speaker grilles. Prices for these editions will be announced later.
2016 Ford Focus RS may yet be AWD, US sales likely
Fri, 29 Aug 2014When it comes to forbidden fruit, few vehicles are spoken of in as hushed a tone as the Ford Focus RS. The turbocharged, five-cylinder hot hatch could only be seen from afar by American customers as it tore up the roads of Europe. And while it's safe to say that Ford's Yankee fans are quite happy to now be on equal footing with drivers in the old country thanks to the Focus ST, we doubt there'd be much protestation over a successor to the RS arriving stateside.
Of course, we've seen images of the new RS undergoing testing, but a new story by Road and Track aims to fill in some very large blanks in our knowledge of that car, thanks to a pair of mysterious insiders at the Ford. Chief among those is this - the RS will almost certainly make its way to the US, albeit in limited quantities. It gets better, though.
Under hood, the new RS is unsurprisingly expected to borrow the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Lincoln MKC. While that twin-scroll turbo produces 310 horsepower in the Mustang and 285 ponies in the MKC, R&T expects the RS to deliver quite a bit more firepower - 325 to 350 hp, with preference going to the higher output due to the limited-edition nature of the RS. This roughly fits with previous reports.
NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall
Tue, Apr 7 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.
