4 Wheel Drive Econoline ClubWagon E-350 one ton...I owned this truck for 12 years now and about 10 years ago was when I did the 4WD conversion. I used a donor Quigley van that was rolled over and I put the drive train under the family van...It is a head turner and I'm going to miss that.
I have upgraded the steering linkage to get rid of the typical Ford wander. When it was time for a new radiator I installed a new 3 row Alumium. On a hot summer day I towed our 8500 lb skidsteer for 100 miles with the A/C on and the temp remained a perfect 195 degrees....a trailer brake controller is mounted in the dash and in the rear is a 2" receiver, a round 7 way and a flat 4 way plug.
The 5.8 liter V-8 runs sweet...it has plenty of power and runs smooth and quiet...The truck has 180,xxx miles and I use it when ever so that might be a little higher at time of purchase..the trans shifts as it should. I am the 3rd owner..the 2nd owner stated he had the trans redone with a new converter at 100,000 miles..the transfercase operates as it should...the locking hubs are 2 yr old WARN hubs and engage and disengage smoothly. During the conversion the truck received new u-joints, seals, brakes and brake lines and shocks...the rears and the springs were painted black...that was 10 years ago so it all could use a touch up...BUT the miles I do were maybe 2,000 a year as it is our 3rd (spare) vehicle..(state inspection records to prove it)..an oversize exhaust runs thru a new CAT and exits the stock location...the rear tires have about 500 miles on them...the fronts maybe 2,000 or so..the rims are alumium 8 lug and were sanded and painted.
Issues: I have taken pics of the rust bubbles and the rusted spot in front of the rear wheel...( skin only, wheel well looks intact)...it's a mear $60.00 for the patch panel but like the rest of my projects I just never get the time...the truck has REAR A/C that works great (last time I used it..summer 2012) ..the REAR HEAT does NOT work...the water lines to the rear heater core are rusted out. Another "was gonna do project" that I never got to..I thought of using Pex tubing that I have left over from my home remodel..........ALSO, the anti lock brake light has been on since the conversion, (donor truck was a cargo van with rear anti lock, my pass van has 4 wheel anti lock). last year the airbag light started to flash a code...the right front sensor is bad...still flashing because I'm not paying $260.00 for one.. HERE IN NY STATE the antilock brakes and the air bag issue is NOT part of the yearly inspection...check your State Laws and offer accordindingly if you have to fix these items.

Automotive Grade Linux will be the backbone of your connected car
Fri, Jan 6 2017Creating a backend for a secure, reliable, and expandable infotainment system is costly and time consuming. The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization, has set out to promote and advance the Linux operating system in commercial products. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is a group within the Foundation that seeks to apply a Linux backend to a number of automotive applications in a variety of vehicles from various suppliers and manufacturers. AGL's goal is to create a common, unifying framework that allows developers and manufacturers to easily implement applications across platforms. Currently, the focus is on infotainment systems, but AGL has plans for instrument clusters, heads-up displays, and eventually active safety software. At CES, a display from Panasonic showed a completely digital and customizable dashboard that allows information and apps to be moved from the gauge cluster to the infotainment screen and back, all through the use of gesture and touch controls. Although the organization has been around for five years, it's really only been in the past three that the group has been working hand in hand with automakers and suppliers. The first two OEMs to participate, Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover, have since been joined by Mazda, Suzuki, Ford, and, as of this week, Daimler. The latter is important as until now most of AGL's partner's have been based in Japan or the US. Other partners include suppliers Denso, Renesas, Continental, Qualcomm, and Intel. AGL want's to supply roughly 80 percent of the backend, allowing partners to then finish and refine the Linux system for each individual application. Think of how the Android operating system is refined and customized for individual smartphones from Samsung, LG, and Motorola. While the final product looks different, developers can have an application that will work across all AGL systems. Because it is open source, anyone can use and develop for AGL. You can even go onto the group's website and download a copy right now. There is also a software development kit available that helps facilitate app creation on the platform. Vehicle development cycles take roughly five years, so there currently are no cars that run an AGL backbone available for consumers. AGL Executive Director Dan Cauchy says products should be hitting the market later this year, with even more coming in 2018. Right now, the industry is relatively fragmented when it comes to infotainment and related systems.
NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.
Rowan Atkinson crashes at Goodwood Revival
Sun, 14 Sep 2014To quote Harry Hogge (played by Robert Duvall) in Days of Thunder, "rubbin, son, is racin'." That can mean some unfortunate damage to high-end racing machinery, which may be repaired easily enough in stock car racing, but when it comes to vintage racing, the stakes can be that much higher. And yet incidents do occur, like at this weekend's Goodwood Revival.
Among the many competitors taking part in the retro racing event in England was none other than Rowan Atkinson, the actor perhaps best known for playing Mr. Bean. Driving a classic Ford Falcon Sprint in the Shelby Cup event, Atkinson (pictured above at the 2012 revival) reportedly crashed head-on into another car on track.
According to reports, the two cars up spun out. The driver in between managed to avoid a pile-up, but Atkinson couldn't steer clear and hit the obstructing vehicle. Fortunately Rowan walked away unscathed (and, we imagine, in a humorous manner), but while we don't know how extensive the damage was to the Falcon, it was enough to take it out of the race.
