1997 Ford F-250 extended cab 4x4 with the durable 7.3 Powerstroke diesel, therare 5 speed manual transmission, 81000 actual miles, last of the old bodystyle! No matter where I go in this truck, it's the topic of surrounded by folks! Little history on the truck. I purchased this truckfrom an older couple living in Idaho (original owners) that purchased this trucknew ( traded in a1955 Ford pickup for this truck in 1997 with intentions of itbeing their last vehicle, but she became ill , and they bought a class C motorhome to transport her back and forth to Salt Lake City Utah for treatment). Ipurchased this truck from them with approximately 30000 miles. I have owned itfor 8 or 9 years. Installed 2 new batteries, replaced cutch and dual massflywheel, with solid flywheel.Which after changing dual mass flywheel, I reallydidn't like the resonance vibration noise, so I purshased a brand new OEMdual mass flywheel (still in box) ( I believe the last one in the country).Other than routine oil changes (Rotella 15W40), antifreeze additive, fuelfilters, and tires, this has been one of the best trucks I have ever owned! Ihope I don't regret the sale of this truck!! This truck is very cleaninside and out with power windows and locks, cruise, tilt, original AM/FMcassette radio, sliding rear window, factory tinted windows, power drivers seatwith power lumbar on both seats, A/C blows cold (freeze you out). This truckbody is rust free, paint shines like a new one! No cracks in dash, upholstery islike new! Original auto locking hubs, original wheels, no tuners or exhaust (hasfactory exhaust) !! Spray in Line-X bed liner. There is a small crease in therear bumper, refer to the pictures. No rust under doors as seen in photos. Thisis a very nice truck for a 20 year old truck!

Ford idling Michigan Assembly Plant to trim Focus, C-Max supply

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Ford will be putting the brakes on production at its Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, MI, idling production during the weeks of October 28 and December 16. Ford is citing the first drop in US sales in 27 months, a 4.2-percent dip in September, as the impetus for trimming their supplies, according to Automotive News.
Ford's deft management of its supplies has been part of its success over the years, and seeing supplies of Focus and C-Max, the two vehicles built at MAP, rise from 58 and 108 days, respectively, to 71 and 122 days over the span of a month was apparently all that was need to justify the trimming. As AN points out, the rule of thumb for many automakers is to maintain a 60-day supply of vehicles.
"Ford has been focused on keeping their pricing in check. Their operating margin is in double digits. Nobody else is there and they're obviously very proud of that," Alan Baum, an auto analyst with Baum & Associates told AN. Keeping the supply chain operating smoothly and not increasing supplies too much is crucial to that healthy profit margin. After all, a large supply lowers prices ,which, in turn, cuts profit. So while this news might not be great for employees at MAP, who now have an extra two weeks of vacation time, it's far from a sign of problems in Dearborn. Quite the opposite, actually.

Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses

Wed, 25 Jul 2012



Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.

Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected

Thu, 29 May 2014

Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."
