1996 Ford Bronco on 2040-cars
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
|
For sale is my 1996 Ford Bronco. I bought this truck from the original owner years ago. I installed a 6" Superlift kit with the Extended Radius arms. This kit alone was more than $3,000 not including labor. I had it installed by Southwest 4x4 here in Albuquerque. I also had them change the gears to 4:11's front and rear for more get up and go, and 35" Dick Cepek "Fun Country" tires (I trimmed the bumper myself with a sawsall and I've yet to have anybody see it and not think it's a factory bumper. I also had TRUE dual exhaust installed by a local exhaust shop. The truck haS 97K miles on it and the 5.0 multiport injected Mustang V8 runs STRONG and SMOOTH. With the addition of the lift kit and new springs it rides like new, is tight, and feels awesome. The hard top in this light blue color looks horrible so I got rid of it and ordered this custom top from Texas Tops. I couldn't tell you how many times people stop me to ask about this truck since I put the top on. Also installed are a Cobra CB radio and a stereo with a boom box, sound is excellent. I am including as many pic's as possible because I want everybody to see how immaculate and clean this vehicle is... WITHOUT even a trip to the car wash - this is just how it always looks. There are no leaks, no rattles, no problems. There is a burn hole in the seat, a large but repaired chip in windshield, and a small crack in the dash. The tires rub on really really tight turns but it's not a problem. I changed the gauge cluster out because I wanted to have A tachometer. At the time of the change the vehicle had about 90K miles and the odo in the "new" cluster was reading 153K. So you need subtract about 63K miles to be accurate. I just had the vehicle serviced at a very reputable garage, including diff changes, tranny flush and fill, oil change, 4 wheel alignment, etc. This vehicle is very very reliable, drives straight and true, and you could easily plan a cross country trip or an off-road safari without fear of mechanical problems. THERE IS NO HARDTOP OR REAR SEAT, I was going for more of a jeep type of vehicle instead of an SUV. This Bronco will surprise you it is so fun to drive. With the 5-speed tranny and V8 engine, along with the 4:11 gears, it feels like you are driving a badass 5.0 mustang GT, it's that strong. And 4x4 capabilities are amazing.. it's got the clearance, the power, the wheel base, and the pedigree to leave Jeeps crying. I am selling this truck to make room for a work truck I just bought on Ebay myself, it was a quid pro quo deal I made with my wife. :(

Ford, GM to collaborate on 9- and 10-speed transmissions
Mon, 15 Apr 2013Back in October, there were reports that General Motors and Ford Motor Company were hard at work co-developing new nine- and ten-speed automatic transmissions, and now both automakers have confirmed this joint operation. While there are no specific vehicles mentioned to receive either transmission, a collaborative press release issued by GM and Ford mention that the transmission will be designed for front- and rear-wheel-drive cars, crossovers, trucks and SUVs.
These aren't the first powertrain components developed jointly between these cross-town rivals, either. The six-speed automatic currently used in vehicles like the Ford Edge, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Equinox was engineered in a similar fashion. As is the case with this existing transmission, both automakers will assist in the design, development and testing of the new transmissions, but each will build its own units in its own factories. Scroll down for the official press release.
Ford cuts 950 Russian jobs on weak demand
Thu, 03 Apr 2014The Russian auto market, in decline for the past year and further hit by the declining value of the ruble and recent sanctions over its annexation of Crimea, has forced Ford to cut jobs and shifts at two of its joint venture plants there. Around 700 of the 2,700 total workers who build the Russian-market Focus and Mondeo will be cut at the plant in Vsevolozhsk, near St. Petersburg as it drops to a single production shift. A second plant about 700 miles away in Yelabuga, in the Tartarstan region, will lose 250 workers. That plant builds seven vehicles, including the Explorer, Kuga and Edge.
The Moscow Times says Ford has been especially hit by the market decline, the overall market losing 5.5 percent in 2013 compared to the year before, but Ford sales dropping 18 percent in 2013 year-on-year. This year isn't going any better, with The Blue Oval posting a 21-percent decline through the first two months of 2014. That's why, though the Yelabuga plant builds the CUVs that customers are moving into, even it is facing cuts.
The job cuts in Vsevolozhsk come on top four-week plant shutdown planned so that the paint and body shops can go to one shift. In a statement, the company said, "Ford Sollers remains absolutely committed to the Russian market and is confident it has the right product plan, people and assets to deliver long-term profitable growth."
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
