For sale is a 97 F250 with the 7.3L diesel and auto trans.  This pickup runs great, the transmission shifts nice and solid, mechanically sound pickup.  I have owned this pickup since it had 81,000 miles and it has been a solid pickup.  It has a lift and 35x12.50 R18 General Grabber tires on Moto Metal wheels.  I bought the wheels and tires about two years ago but they only have around 7,000 miles on them.  It has an onboard 12 volt air compressor, 3 gallon tank and air bags on the rear for towing.  K&N cold air intake, I had the exhaust straight piped and when I replaced the transmission around 8,000 miles ago (due to the stock one starting to slip) I replaced the stock pancake downpipe with a 3.5 inch round downpipe.  It has an Edge 60 hp 100 ft lb module.  This pickup has some minor body damage, there is a spot on the front driver fender on the bottom with a little spot of paint peel, there is a few scratches down the driver side on the rear of the bed and a dent on the extended cab, none of which are hugely noticeable.  The interior is in good shape for a 16 year old pickup.  All the seats and carpet are in good shape the only cracks on the dash are on that soft pad on the passenger side the same spot every ford in that body style crack, they're not too bad.  It has a nice stereo system in it, was real good in its day but I'm sure there is better out there now.  It still sounds good.  Pioneer deck, two MTX 10 inch sub woofers with amp and all four of the stock speakers have been replaced with Infinity speakers.  Under the dash are the controls to add or release air from the rear air bags.  The power door locks and power windows all work like they're suppose to.

James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial

Sat, 01 Feb 2014

Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.

US Air Force Thunderbirds Mustang fetches $400K at auction

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

For the last six years, Ford has created a special version of the Mustang with a military aviation theme, and then donated the car to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to be auctioned off at the annual AirVenture event, also known as The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration. The money raised goes to the EAA Young Eagles program to inspire the "aviation pioneers of tomorrow," and this year's 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition was won with a final bid of $398,000.
Celebrating 60 years of the USAF's Thunderbirds, this Mustang GT is the only one of its kind with a paint job matching the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon jets and some Ford Racing performance added on for good measure. Including this car, Ford has helped raise around $2.3 million for the charity with the biggest auction price coming from the first year of the program, the F-22 Raptor-inspired Mustang AV8R from 2008, which sold for $500,000.

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
