LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE!! This is an awesome ranger with a v8 conversion. Picked it up off a guy who really needed to sell it so I'm passing the good deal along. Engine is a mildly built 302, not sure on the cam specs but it doesn't flash too high so it's probably just a nice torque cam (rv cam for us old timers, under .500 lift for you technical types), headers going into stacks, intake, and holley 670 street avenger carb (probably too big for a street 302 in my opinion), new battery, electric holley fuel pump (the red one I believe) and electric fan are on a separate switches on the dash along with a push button start. Tranny was gone through at the time of the engine swap 1-2 years ago, and its got a hurst pro-matic II ratchet shifter (pretty fun once you know how to use it, print out the manual online and it takes a lot of the confusion away). Doesn't have a front drive shaft yet so its a 2wd as it sits. Aftermarket gauges all read properly. No radio installed yet but I have one that will come with it. I have had to wiggle the battery cable once to get power to the starter so a new cable is probably in the future. Paint job is a real camo paint job done in thick primer like the military does, not some shiny sticker. Interior is worn but not all riped up, doors rattle a bit when shut, new rubber will fix that if it bothers you. It needs a passenger window, they are $35 at the junkyard. Fuel cap door has been relocated to the bed. Tires are very good 33" with plenty of room for more, tread is like new, front right has a slow leak when just sitting, haven't sprayed any slime in it but it's very slow about 2 weeks before you'll notice but if driven regularly it would be fine. Haven't noticed any rust issues. Feel free to ask any questions or request specific pics before the auction is over, winning the auction does not mean you've won the right to come see if you like it, please do that before. The reserve on this is very very low, like what the tires and lift would cost, or what the labor on the v8 swap would be, or what the engine and tranny would cost. I haven't personally driven this more than about a mile or two due to it not having tags on it but it's loud, fast and fun and I can't find any mechanical issues. If you are within 250 miles I may be able to have it delivered for $300 more, not a guarantee but I'll talk to you after the auction. |

Ford confirms Everest SUV production for China
Sat, 19 Apr 2014According to Ford, the Chinese SUV segment grew by 49 percent in 2013, and the Blue Oval held a 4.5 percent market share. At the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Ford is showing the Everest SUV that, while just a concept for now, will go into production in the near future.
The Everest is a big, brawny seven-seat SUV that mixes solid, chiseled styling and contemporary Ford design cues. Up front there is an angular version of the trapezoidal grille and sharp, wraparound headlights. The beltline rises in the rear to make the back appear higher than the front. The rear seems just as chiseled, with the taillights resting in jagged scallops. There is no doubt that this concept means to look rugged, and ready for rough roads - the whole thing looks pretty great.
The truck was penned by Ford's Asia Pacific design and engineering team in Australia, and it was first shown in Sydney last year. Ford's JMC joint venture will build the truck for the Chinese market, and it will be sold at Ford dealers there. The Blue Oval isn't hinting at what powers the production version yet, but it reportedly shares some components with the foreign-market Ranger.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
Major Alexa deal will bring Amazon services into more cars
Wed, Jan 9 2019Amazon and its personal assistance service Alexa are partnering with HERE Technologies to create a new connected mobility service powerhouse. Alexa will integrate with HERE's navigation and location services to offer what the two companies are calling a "true voice-first-navigation experience." Alexa will come pre-integrated with HERE navigation on-demand, which the automakers can then enable, which should help cut down on development time. One of the biggest features from this partnership is how directions could be offered and delivered using HERE's Open Location Platform (OLP). Currently, the OLP uses data from several car manufacturers to provide insights into real-time location and traffic. But on Alexa, this could be used to provide directional context. For example, Alexa could say, "Turn right after [such-and-such a building]" rather than just, "Turn right." Amazon has been testing the automotive waters throughout the past decade. Its home-based Alexa-enabled devices are already offered with connections to several manufacturers. To various degrees of integration, it can already pair with Ford, Genesis, Toyota, Lexus, Hyundai and BMW vehicles. At the end of 2018, Amazon took things a step further when it introduced the Echo Auto, a Bluetooth-connected Alexa assistant device that can be physically kept in a car. Currently only available by invitation (its production and distribution have been delayed), the $25 device is essentially a voice service that works together with smartphones and connects to a car's speakers. Users can command it to do a variety of things, including playing music, setting navigation, opening the garage door, finding local stores, making calls, setting reminders, and thousands of other "skills." According to The Verge, nearly 1 million people have already ordered the device. Some (well, probably few) may know HERE Technologies from its maps on Windows Phones. We all know how that turned out, though. Today, HERE has expanded into a multi-function suite that is available in multiple mediums, including many automotive applications. HERE Automotive's connected vehicle services include real-time traffic, parking, weather, fuel prices, hazard warnings, traffic sign integration, and even EV charging stations. These all incorporate and extend the use of HERE's location and tracking programming. HERE is already partnered with BMW, Audi, Daimler, Intel, Mobileye, NVIDIA, and has investments from Bosch, Continental and Pioneer.
