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! |

Project Ugly Horse: Part VIII
Fri, 17 May 2013Now With More EcoBoost
There's an EcoBoost 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in there somewhere, and it's headed straight for Ugly Horse.
For the second time in my life, I'm staring at an engine in the back of a truck with no concept of how to get it safely into the garage by my lonesome. The first time this happened, I dragged home a $300 International 345 V8 in the back of my Scout Terra only to discover that the bounds of my manliness terminated well before my ability to muscle that 800-pound cast iron block out of the pickup bed.
2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty Power Stroke
Tue, 29 Jul 2014What weighs 30,000 pounds? Big Ben's Westminster bell. A navy ship anchor. Or as we found out during our first drive program for the 2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty, seven pallets of cinder blocks loaded onto a dual-axle gooseneck trailer. The test was part of a raft of towing demonstrations that showcased the new Super Duty's impressive tug capacity, which maxes out at 32,100 pounds. That's 1,200 more than its nearest rival, the Ram 3500, when equipped with its upgraded 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8. Such is the heavy-duty pickup truck business, a diesel-fueled game of one-upmanship with only three players: Ford, Chevrolet/GMC and Ram. And in this game, the one with the most torque wins.
Until 2014, Ford was the one to beat, with its 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel bringing 400 hp and a massive 800 lb-ft of torque to the table. Then last year, Ram did exactly that, serving Ford with a beefed-up Cummins turbodiesel inline-six in its freshened Ram Heavy Duty truck line with 385 hp and 850 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to tow up to 30,000 pounds. But Ford claims it had designed its engine to be relatively easy to upgrade when the time called for it, so for 2015, Ford bolted a larger turbo to the Power Stroke, bringing output to an insane 440 hp and 860 lb-ft of twist, all without reducing fuel efficiency. Maximum tow capacity rises from 24,700 lbs to an incredible 31,200 lbs for the F-450 dually.
As for GM's HDs? They lag behind the lot with their 6.6-liter Duramax V-8, producing 397 hp and 765 lb-ft of torque. Yeah, you know things are serious when the trucks with 765 lb-ft are the knock-kneed wimps of the lot.
Ford, Renault, VW shareholder oppose French aid for PSA/Peugeot-Citro"en
Mon, 29 Oct 2012Pots and kettles, glass houses and stones - that's a little of what we appear to have going on in the European car market. New reports say that that three European automakers have registered their opposition to a loan deal that PSA/Peugeot-Citroën is working on with the French government. Peugeot's finance arm, Banque PSA Finance, is struggling with its debts and has been downgraded by Moody's to its lowest investment-grade classification, one step above junk. This makes it more expensive for a potential buyer to finance a car through Peugeot. The last thing Peugeot needs is more difficulty selling cars in the tough European market, and the situation will only worsen if the bank's credit worthiness takes another hit.
A deal being worked on would have the French government offer €7 billion ($9B U.S.) in bonds to guarantee the bank's loans, which would give the institution some breathing room to manage its debts and lower its interest rates. Outside of that, a group of banks would provide other, non-guaranteed loans to the bank to further help its position. In exchange for state help, though, the government wants seats on Peugeot's board for worker representatives and a government liaison, along with factory and worker guarantees. The Peugeot family would maintain control of the company.
So what we have is government assistance being provided to a car company's finance arm, akin to the way General Motors' GMAC (now Ally Financial) and Chrysler Financial got help in their time of need. What we also have is Ford and Renault, and Germany's State of Lower Saxony, the second-largest shareholder in Volkswagen, voicing their concern about the proposal, because they say it could create an unfair competitive advantage for Peugeot. Everyone in Europe's down market is fighting for every sale, and if Peugeot gets help to keep its auto loan costs down, it figures to help buyers choose Peugeot or Citroën.
