Ford E-350 w/7.3 diesel engine and automatic overdrive transmission.  It was a SWAT truck and filled with communications gear racks when I bought it at a police auction.  I added the large drawered tool boxes - like car mechanics tool boxes - and built some aluminum cabinets.  We used it as an HVAC/R service and installation truck and it was great for that.  The exterior doors all have magnetic switches that turn on a gang of bright interior lights so it's great to work out of at night - it's as bright as day inside.  There are also bright exterior work lights built in too.  You can set up the manual switches so the exterior work lights come on when you open the doors too.  The interior is actually very cool - lots of aluminum diamond plate and lost of cabinet space.  The exterior cabinets have door switches and lights too.  There is an aluminum ladder rack - with rollers to spare the paint.  And there is also an aluminum frame hitch too but I only used it once to move a utility trailer for my neighbor.  There doesn't seem to be any trailer light wiring.  Oh;  the tail light assemblies are new too.  The old ones had a cracked lens and one had an intermittent bad ground.  So we just replaced them both to be on the safe side of easier.   


All the emergency vehicle lights still work but I painted the side lenses over black.  I was going to do them all but I never got around to it.  The hard wired police spotlight is in the cab too.  

Good:  the brakes and tires are brand new.  At least two are top-shelf Michelins.  The tires and brakes don't have 1000 miles on them.  New transmission and torque converter about 2000 miles ago.  I had them replace the rear main seal too.  Both batteries are also new - last fall I think.  The 7.3 always starts and runs like a watch.  I have another one with over 400K on it - might be 450K by now - and it doesn't even smoke.  Even the baby of the fleet has 260K miles on it.  The 7.3's all apparently run forever.

Bad:  the driver's door power window doesn't work - it needs a rocker switch, or two of the wires re-attached to the old switch.  We fixed it one time but the wires came off again when the door panel was off to change the mirrors.  Oh;  the rearview mirrors are new too.  It has a touch-screen CD player with a flip-front which also removes - but it stopped working again recently.  The last time the electronics place replaced a fuse and then it was fine for over a year.    

There are normal scratches and so forth - but it's easy to match to touch up - as there is only one black.  I was going to have the  Investigation * Support Unit  lettering taken off the sides but everybody everywhere got such a kick out of it that I ended up leaving it.  It's been a cool truck:  you never get stopped for speeding, you can park anywhere, and we got waved through roadblocks several times.

Oh;  I just remembered - the whole exhaust system was replaced last year too. 

That 288,000 miles number I listed may not be exactly right.  I don't have the truck here so I'm just going by memory, but I think it's pretty close to that.  If it's critical for you to know down to the last mile I'll run over to the shop and find out for you. 

Any questions just ask.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.

Ford considering return to Le Mans with new EcoBoost LMP2

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

If you want to see a Ford racing prototype, you need look no further than the United SportsCar Championship, where the Blue Oval fields two Daytona Prototypes powered by an EcoBoost-branded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. But according to the latest rumors, that may not be enough for Ford, which has as much brand to promote overseas as it does back home.
That could be why Racer magazine is reporting that Ford may be poised to return to Le Mans in the coming years. As we all know, Ford competed at Le Mans in the mid-through-late '60s, bringing home four consecutive overall wins with the legendary GT40. The new program would not, according to Racer, seek to relive those glory days, but would instead compete for class wins in the LMP2 category.
Currently, LMP2 regulations are somewhat split between the United SportsCar Championship in North America on the one hand and ACO-sanctioned series like the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship on the other, but plans are underway for the regulations to be unified in time for the 2017 season. That could be when Ford is targeting its return, allowing it to compete on both sides of the Atlantic to maximize its exposure.

Monsoon rains disrupt production for Ford, BMW in India

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Even modern production techniques can be stymied by Mother Nature. This was demonstrated most recently in India, as torrential, monsoon rains caused a deluge that forced multiple automakers to suspend production. Ford, Renault, and BMW all halted work at their Indian facilities around the southern city of Chennai, also known as Madras. The annual rains disrupted public transport around the city, preventing employees from making the trek into city's factories. According to Automotive News, Chennai saw 48 inches of precipitation last month alone, which is more than Seattle, WA saw in all of 2014. While Ford and BMW closed things down for all of December 1, Renault just cancelled a pair of shifts at its Chennai factory. This is the second time in the past month that automakers in southeast India have been forced to stop production due to severe flooding, and things aren't likely to improve. According to The Weather Channel, forecasts call for thunderstorms over five of the next seven days, while the chance of rain won't fall below 80 percent until December 8. Ford, Renault, and BMW are far from the only automakers that could stand to be impacted by the rains. The city has been nicknamed "The Detroit of India" for its extreme automotive presence. Daimler, Hindustan, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Nissan all own factories in the region.
