Hello guys. I purchased this vehicle from a police auction in Columbus Ohio. Every vehicle sold there is issued a SALVAGE TITLE, after passing a BMV inspection it receives a REBUILT SALVAGE TITLE. A quick check of the auto report will verify that this vehicle has never been "totaled", nor had flood damage, therefore the "rebuilt salvage" label is a technicality. You can also call the Franklin County Sheriff's Department, which is listed as the previous owner. The good: I had a locksmith make a key - it started instantly (after waiting for the glow plugs, of course) doesn't smoke, and it passed the "blow by" test. I am not a mechanic, but the engine is strong; it will get up and go. The bad: Besides needing a little TLC (crack in driver side mirror, dime sized hole and missing handle on tailgate, dent in rear quarter panel that looks like someone "butted" or kicked it) there is a noticeable hesitation when shifting from 1 to 2 gear. It happens when you press too hard on the accelerator pedal from a stopped position. However, If you gradually press it, or slightly take your foot off of the pedal when you notice the hesitation, it will shift fine.I was told it could be a fuel filter, fuel pump, stuck valve in transmission accumulator or a broken spring in the accumulator, which can be fixed for less than a few hundred buck by dropping the transmission pan. (Youtube accumulator for this model) As I said, I am not a mechanic, but there is a lot of life left in this truck, If you have mechanical knowledge and ability, here is an inexpensive truck for you. If you believe that you know what the issue is and want to fix it here, that is OK, if you live far away, you should tow it home. If not for the shifting issue, I wouldn't be afraid to drive this truck anywhere in the country. Reserve is low. Thanks for looking.

Whatever the shifting issue is, it is not major, this best describes what the truck is experiencing. THE ENGINE IS STRONG! Read my description again.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP-TXqC3f9g

Project Ugly Horse: Part VII
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs
Fri, 25 Apr 2014General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.
