Selling my Trusty Rusty!  This has been my 3rd vehicle for the last 2 years.  I am updating with a newer truck.  I bought Ugly Betty in July of 2011.  I've used it as a weekend work & hunting truck.  I've put about 4,000 miles on it since getting it.  I commute about 30 miles(each way) with it once or twice a month when I need to haul something.  It has served me pretty well, but do to its age and condition upkeep is necessary.  Runs good, starts every time...sometimes slow to catch in the winter.


Biggest defects are as follows:
  • rear fuel tank is not connected and cannot be used as is
  • emergency brake lines have rusted away
  • leaks oil
  • dead AC
  • rusty undercarriage
  • primer paint on roof
  • someone keyed "HA!" on the driver's door

I've replaced the following in the last two years.
  • brake pads (summer 2011)
  • rear brake kits including new wheel cylinders (old drums reused) (summer 2011)
  • windshield (summer 2011) 
  • installed new proper sized battery (summer 2011)
  • installed used rear fuel tank (summer 2011) IS NOT CONNECTED
  • replaced fuel sending relay (summer 2012)
  • replaced negative battery cable (summer 2012)
  • replaced front springs and shocks (summer 2012)
  • replaced rear shocks
  • Inner/outer front end wheel bearing (last month)
I have a brand new starter (NAPA brand) for this truck that I haven't installed.  Turned out to be the rusted negative battery cable that was causing the starting problem in 2012.  That starter is included in this sale.

Take a look at the ton of pictures to get a feel for the condition.  Sold AS IS, WHERE IS with NO WARRANTY from Geneva, IL.
 
Feel free to contact me with questions.  This is my first time selling a vehicle on EBAY, I expect a $200 dollar paypal deposit within 48 hours of auction completion, and the balance to be pain in-person (cash or cashier's check) or via paypal at pickup.

Is it time for American carmakers to give up on dual-clutch transmissions? [w/poll]

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Last week, in the midst of Detroit's first days seeking relief in Chapter 9 of the bankruptcy code, Automotive News contributor Larry P. Vellequette penned an editorial suggesting that American car companies raise the white flag on dual clutch transmissions and give up on trying to persuade Americans to buy cars fitted with them. Why? Because, Vellequette says, like CVT transmissions, they "just don't sound right or feel right to American drivers." (Note: In the article, it's not clear if Vellequette is arguing against wet-clutch and dry-clutch DCTs or just dry-clutch DCTs, which is what Ford and Chrysler use.) The article goes on to state that Ford and Chrysler have experimented with DCTs and that both consumers and the automotive press haven't exactly given them glowing reviews, despite their quicker shifts and increased fuel efficiency potential compared to torque-converter automatic transmissions.
Autoblog staffers who weighed in on the relevance of DCTs in American cars generally disagreed with the blanket nature of Vellequette's statement that they don't sound or feel right, but admit that their lack of refinement compared to traditional automatics can be an issue for consumers. That's particularly true in workaday cars like the Ford Focus and Dodge Dart, both of which have come in for criticism in reviews and owner surveys. From where we sit, the higher-performance orientation of such transmissions doesn't always meld as well with the marching orders of everyday commuters (particularly if drivers haven't been educated as to the transmission's benefits and tradeoffs), and in models not fitted with paddle shifters, it's particularly hard for drivers to use a DCT to its best advantage.
Finally, we also note that DCT tuning is very much an evolving science. For instance, Autoblog editors who objected to dual-clutch tuning in the Dart have more recently found the technology agreeable in the Fiat 500L. Practice makes perfect - or at least more acceptable.

Second-tier UAW workers promoted for first time after Ford hits quota

Mon, Feb 2 2015

The United Auto Workers put out a statement on Friday that 55 Ford workers chosen by seniority would be moved from the Tier 2, entry-level pay rate of around $19 per hour to the Tier 1, non-entry-level rate of about $28 per hour. One of the stipulations in the 2011 UAW-Ford agreement was that only 20-percent of the total hourly workforce could be paid the Tier 2 wages agreed upon in 2007; after that, those workers had to be moved to Tier 1. Even so, the new Tier 1 status makes them less expensive to Ford than veteran Tier 1 workers because they receive fewer benefits. However, Automotive News had reported that same day that Ford was 69 workers shy of the limit, and when AN asked Ford about the situation Ford said it had "some room" on the entry-level roster. If workers do move to the higher pay grade, it will be the first time that's happened since the two-tier system was agreed. But it sounds like there's going to be some haggling between the UAW and Ford before that happens. Ford is the only one of the Detroit 3 automakers to have to work with a cap, since it didn't go through bankruptcy proceedings during The Great Recession; General Motors and Chrysler jettisoned the cap in 2009. GM is said to have 16 percent of its hourly workers at Tier 2 while Chrysler has 42 percent, but Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has long been opposed to the two-wage system. The UAW is preparing for its 2015 negotiations with the US automakers. It wants to eliminate the difference in pay by going to the higher scale, if there is a consensus among automakers it seems to be that they also want a single wage, but less than the higher scale, with the addition of profit-based bonuses. The recent statement from the labor union is below. UAW President Dennis Williams and UAW-Ford Vice President Jimmy Settles announced today that the union is delivering on its promise to convert workers DETROIT, Jan. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- UAW President Dennis Williams and UAW-Ford Vice President Jimmy Settles announced today that the union is delivering on its promise to convert workers making entry-level wages to traditional employees. "The 2011 UAW-Ford agreement allows for a contractual limit of entry-level employees. Once that threshold is surpassed, entry-level employees convert by seniority to 'regular, non-entry level employment.' At this time, fifty-five UAW-Ford workers will receive the wage increases, which put them in the category of non entry-level employment.
