This is a 3 owner truck. I have owned this truck since November 2008. When I purchased it in 08 it had 92,724 miles. The truck has 176,850 miles on it now. The oil and filter has been charged every 4,000 miles and the fuel / air filters every 12,000. I have done all the oil and filter changes myself and have lubricated the chassis at every oil change. I have always used Wix filters and used Stanadyne fuel conditioner. I have had the transmission flushed by Ford at 94,008 & 159,360 miles. The differential fluid was changed at 120,098 miles with Amsoil synthetic. The front wheel bearings were packed at 94,289 & 170,270 with Amsoil synthetic grease. The radiator was flushed with distilled water and replaced with new coolant at 146,323. I did a complete brake job at 170,270 which included turning front rotors & rear drums, replaced both front calipers and both rear wheel cylinders, master cylinder, brake booster, diversion valve and finally the vacuum pump. ( the vacuum pump was the problem the whole time.... It just happened to be the last thing I replaced !!!!! .) The tires were installed on 10/22/10 at 133,784. They are Firestone Transforce HT. the tires are rated for 60,000, they still have a lot left. I have them rotated every 8 to 10,000.The gentleman that I purchased the truck from had the transmission rebuilt at 78,673. It has a Axiom heavy duty converter and a Transco shift kit. I have describe the history of the maintenance as good as possible. The A/C blows cold and the heater is hot. Every thing works as it should. No rust. The paint looks great, there are a few dings but not worth worrying about. I took a pic of the worst one on the rear passenger door. My portable cover got caught by the wind and the pole rubbed the door. I used this truck to pull a small bumper pull camper that weighed around 5,200 pounds. This truck will get 20 mpg at 2000 rpm... Around 60 mph empty, around 14 mpg pulling my trailer. As far as the interior, it looks almost new. The seats and carpet show very lite wear. They have always been covered and will include the covers. The truck will also include a complete set of Huskey floor liners. I left the rear set cover on in the pictures, just because it was difficult to install. It is just a clean as the front seats. I would be very surprised to see a 1997 as clean as this anywhere for sale. If you are the buyer of this truck you will not be disappointed. If you have any questions e-mail them to me. You can pick this up locally or I can help you arrange for transport. The buyer will be responsible for delivery cost. I can also be contacted at 979-236-6003.

Ford Fiesta RS with 250 horsepower mooted
Thu, Jan 29 2015We know Ford is unveiling a new Focus RS on February 3, and it's heavily rumored to arrive brandishing an all-wheel-drive powertrain and as much as 350 horsepower. The folks at Ford Performance have also promised they are working on at least 12 models through 2020, and that still leaves a lot of time to get additional exciting vehicles out the door. One of those could be an RS version of the Fiesta, according to Evo. An RS take on the latest Fiesta would obviously need substantial boosts in both power and handling ability to warrant the work over the current top Fiesta ST (pictured above), which is already one of our favorite cars. Evo speculates that the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder could be tuned further, possibly up to about 250 horsepower, and the high-performance hatch might even take some inspiration from the Fiesta WRC rally car with an all-wheel drive system. An unnamed Ford spokesperson remained cagey about the chances for the pint-sized hot hatch to Evo, though. "We can't say anything at this moment, but we have promised to produce 12 performance models in the coming years. We'll leave it for you to decide whether that includes a Fiesta at this moment," the source said to the magazine. Evo doesn't expect a launch across the pond until at least 2017, if it actually happens. Of course, there's the lingering question of whether such a niche project would work in the US. In Europe, the Fiesta RS would challenge similarly diminutive speedsters like the Volkswagen Polo R and Audi S1, but true competitors of an equivalent size here would be much more scarce. In fact with 250 hp, the hotter Fiesta could provide unwelcome competition within Blue Oval showrooms for the Focus ST.

2015 Ford Mustang already under recall, but just 53 units
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Ford has issued a small - but significant - recall for one of its spotlight cars: the 2015 Mustang.
The recall affects just 53 cars, with 50 in the United States and three in Canada. Ford said the passenger side safety belt buckle tension sensor may not have been calibrated properly by the supplier. This could lead to "misclassification" of the passenger seat occupant, and could cause the airbag to deploy improperly.
A Ford spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, the automaker said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries, and dealers will replace the buckle assembly at no cost to customers. The cars affected were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan from Aug. 18 to Oct. 2.

Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another.
Chuck Schwynoch had been patiently listening to my ramblings on the other end of the phone for a solid half hour. I'm not too big of a man to know when to ask for help, and at this point, I desperately needed some assistance. The truth is, working on a machine like a Fox Body Mustang is as easy as breathing thanks to the wealth of information available on the web. Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another, and odds are the sorry souls behind those builds shared the highs and lows of their torment with the internet community.
