Good running truck, would make a great work truck, play truck, or toy hauler. I bought the truck a few months ago thinking it would work for my business but I need a regular bed truck not an SUV. Temp never goes above 1/4, it starts up when you want it to, and runs like a champ. The 3 speed C6 transmission is not a highway cruiser, but it's built like a tank.
I'm not going to sugarcoat or hide what the truck needs. The a/c doesn't "need a recharge" it needs to be fixed. The check engine light bulb isn't "blown" it's on, and if you don't like the light on you can replace the part it needs or take the bulb out yourself. This is a 25 year old truck that is in overall good condition for it's age. It doesn't need anything to be a daily driver, it's the creature comforts that need to be addressed.
*what it needs* Exhaust work, it's not crazy loud but there's some exhaust leaks somewhere, they get quieter when the truck is warmed up A/C Condenser (a/c works fine if the condenser is replaced, rock hit it on the highway) Possibly Heater core (was bypassed when I bought the truck, I'm sure someone didn't bypass it for fun) Clock Spring for the steering wheel (Horn and cruise don't work because of this) Check Engine Light is on code 67 (mechanic told me it was the neutral safety switch which doesn't affect drive-ability, the light just stays on) Dome light doesn't come on, there's no bulb in it but I don't think there's power to it either Oil Pressure gauge is broken, the red "engine" oil
pressure light still works, the gauge just doesn't. Rust spots repaired on roof - I sprayed the spots with rust inhibitor to keep it from worsening but it needs to be repaired. There is also one spot on the passenger side door jamb. This truck has lived in Florida for a while and the rust on the roof shows that she's been to the beaches some. The undercarriage does not have any rust that is noticeable, just mud :) Turn signal blinks fine, but doesn't stay when you use to the right, works fine left. If you have any questions feel free to ask! |

Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest
Tue, Jun 16 2015There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog. Chevrolet Ford Jeep RAM Truck Off-Road Vehicles Car Club USA Videos autoblog black
Ford announces first non-pursuit-rated police car ever
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Ford announced its first non-pursuit-rated Police Interceptor ever, based on the Taurus, which employs the smaller 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine in place of similar pursuit-rated Police Interceptors powered by naturally aspirated 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter V6s and the top-spec 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Officially called the Special Service Police sedan, the car was commissioned at the request of law-enforcement agencies that desire a more fuel-efficient vehicle for detectives, administrators and campus police, who don't necessarily need pursuit-rated vehicles.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine produces 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, but more importantly, it allows the SSP sedan to achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway, which are the civilian 2.0-liter Taurus' official EPA ratings. Ford estimates that the SSP sedan will get 20 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined, with the help of Active Grille Shutters that open to allow more cooling air through to the radiator, or close to optimize aerodynamics and fuel economy. Those numbers compare favorably to the discontinued Crown Victoria-based Interceptor's 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway and the newer Taurus-based cars equipped with V6s, the most fuel efficient of which gets 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
If it was driven 90,000 miles over the course of three years, a 2.0-liter SSP sedan would save law enforcement agencies $5,042.92 versus the Crown Vic, Ford estimates. The EPA is expected to post official fuel-economy numbers for the SSP sedan in December. Until then, read the press release below for more information.
Ford wants to double hybrid offerings by 2020
Wed, Jan 15 2014The Blue Oval is looking for folks on the other side of this Big Old Sphere to get on board with its hybrid offerings. Ford executive Raj Nair, speaking at the Detroit Auto Show this week, said the US automaker wants to double the number of hybrids models it offers by the end of the decade, Reuters reports. Details of what that actually means is anyone's guess, as it was unclear how many of those models would be in the US and how many would be overseas. That said, Nair did say that prospective customers in regions such as China and Europe would drive the expansion of offerings. Ford got off to a great start in the US last year on its hybrid sales, but then tailed off towards the end of 2013. Ford more than doubled its green-car sales in 2013 to almost 88,000 units. In that number were more than 37,000 Fusion Hybrids and more than 28,000 C-Max Hybrids sold domestically. The company also sold almost 7,500 Lincoln MKZ Hybrids. Ford's green-car totals for 2013 were up fivefold at the mid-year point, hinting that Ford's hybrid sales plateaued, at least temporarily, in recent months.
