This truck is in great working condition. I have always fixed everything that came up, with the exception of the air conditioning, which I bypassed the compressor when it went with a shorter belt to get better gas mileage. I am the second owner. I bought the truck from the original owner in Feb., 2008. It had 79,000 miles on it. It now has 88,217 miles, so I put 9,000 miles on it in 6 years. 5,000 of those miles was in 2008 when I took it to Idaho (from Pennsylvania) for an elk hunting trip. I put the tires on it new for that trip, so they have 9,000 miles on them. I always had the oil changed every year at inspection time, even though the truck was generally run about 600 miles a year. It has always been kept in a garage since I have had it. 
I recently had all the body work done where rust was coming through. Also new strong arms on the lift hatch on the Reading body. 
The Reading body is awesome. I used it to store my tools for handyman work. The lumber rack is really sturdy. I also have slept in the cap on overnight trips very comfortably. It is a full 8 foot size bed and a 4x8 sheet of drywall or plywood fits in it easily. 
It has a tow package on it, including a brake lever inside. There is also a receiver on the front of the truck for a winch or for parking implements or trailers more easily than backing them in. 
Also included are a pair of Michelin LTX A/S LT 225/75 R16 mounted on wheels, another pair of steel wheels, and the original spare tire mounted on yet another wheel.
Here is a list of the work I have done on it since I have had it:
installed new parts
-belts
-air filter
-water pump
-alternator
-timimg cover
-thermastat
-front crank seal
-distributer
-distributer cap
-plugs, wires.
-valve cover gaskets
-oil pan gasket
-rear main seal
- engine mounts
-transmission front pump seal
- muffler
-tailpipe
-fuel filter
-fuel pump
-fuel tank
-fuel tank sending unit & pump
-brake lines & brakes

Ford Transit customs ready to work for SEMA

Fri, 31 Oct 2014

Ford's booth at the SEMA Show this year looks to have two, big themes. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen takes on the 2015 Mustang to the event, and it's now also announcing five customized versions on the 2015 Transit to join the modded pony cars. Each of the vans shows off a different use for the spacious commercial vehicle, from plush luxury to offroad ruggedness.
You probably don't think of the Transit as hitting the trails, but that's just what the take on the design from the Vegas Off-Road Experience (pictured above) is for. The company gives people the opportunity to drive a desert race truck, and this custom is meant to drive them to events. It should be able to take on the terrain a little better with off-road wheels and tires and fender flares, but inside passengers get serious luxury thanks to a 60-inch LED TV and video game systems.
Alternatively the blazing red Designed Travel Transit (right) is all about long road trips. The interior features four captain's chairs with heating, cooling and massage functions, and there's a 4K 50-inch TV to watch. For a touch of added class, the floor is made from hickory.

Car technology I'm thankful and unthankful for

Mon, Nov 27 2017

The past few years have seen a surge of tech features in new vehicles — everything from cloud-based content to semi-autonomous driving. While some of it makes the driving experience better, not all tech is useful or well thought out. Automakers who are adept at drivetrains, ride quality and in-cabin comforts often fail at infotainment interfaces and connectivity. From testing dozens of vehicles each year and in the spirit of gratitude, here are three car tech features I'm thankful — and a trio I could live without. Thanks Connected search: This seems like a no-brainer since everyone already has it on their smartphones, but not all automakers include it in the dashboard and as part of their nav systems. The best ones, such as Toyota Entune, leverage a driver's connected device to search for a range of services and don't charge a subscription or require a separate data plan for the car. I also like how systems like Chrysler Uconnect use Yelp or other apps to find everything from coffee to gas stations and allow searching via voice recognition. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: It took two of the largest tech companies to get in-dash infotainment right. While they have their disadvantages (you're forced to use Apple Maps with CarPlay, for example), the two smartphone-integration platforms make it easier and safer to use their respective native apps for phoning, messaging, music and more behind the wheel by transferring a familiar UI to the dashboard — with no subscription required. Heated seats and steering wheels: I really appreciate these simple but pleasant features come wintertime. It's easy to get spoiled by bun-warmers on frosty mornings and using a heated steering wheel to warm the cold hands. I recently tested a 2018 Mercedes-Benz E400 Coupe that also had heated armrest that added to a cozy luxury experience. Bonus points for brands like Buick that allow setting seat heaters to turn on when the engine is remotely started. No thanks Automaker infotainment systems: Automakers have probably poured millions into creating their own infotainment systems, with the result largely being frustration on the part of most car owners. And Apple CarPlay and Android Auto coming along to make them obsolete. While some automaker systems, such as Toyota Entune and FCA's Uconnect, are easy and intuitive to use, it seems that high-end systems (I'm looking at you BMW iDrive and Mercedes-Benz COMAND) are the most difficult.
