Good old "Blue Suede Shoes" needs help my lousy back won't let me do, even though it's not a serious problem. Water pump spews water after starting, but leaks very little once driving. Needs new water pump installed, not hard on a 6 cylinder like this. Also, starter bendix is going out, will eventually need starter. It turns then goes "wing" a couple times sometimes, then starts. Not the flywheel, always engages that, so has to be the starter bendix gear. Otherwise no real problems, I still drive it locally, but wouldn't take it out on the highway anymore until the pump is replaced. Once that's done, doesn't overheat, good cooling system. Leaks some oil (probably the usual rear main seal), I park it on dirt, loses 1/2 quart between changes, max. Lights, horn, all that works, has good tires, not el-cheapos, 1/3 tread gone, disc brakes have at least 50% pads left. Overdrive transmission is cool, acts like a regular 3 speed manual, then big RPM drop for the freeway in overdrive. Call her a fixer upper I guess, I just can't do the work anymore, or use her for parts, whatever you want.
Story is worth telling, this van worked in San Diego for decades hauling fishermen into Mexico (has ball hitch). The owner ALWAYS took it to Ford, so it was extremely well maintained, Motorcraft battery, all genuine parts Ford wherever I looked. It was his livelihood, so he had them fix whatever the service writer told him it needed. I got it 10K miles ago, replaced the I-beam bushings, cap rotor, plugs and wires, that's all it needed, it's been my motorcycle hauler for 6 years now. Radio needs new antenna, AC doesn't work, I never tried to have it charged. Left side rear window not factory, installed for passengers' view it appears.
Van is in Tombstone Arizona, one hour southeast of Tucson, 50 miles west of New Mexico border, 35 miles north of Mexican border. Come get it, sorry, no delivery available.

Ford doubling 1.0L EcoBoost engine production
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine hasn't been around that long, but it sounds like the engine is getting to be fairly popular in the automaker's global car lineup. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford has add a second shift that will allow its German engine plant to double daily output from 500 engines to 1,000.
The increased capacity is part of a plan to sell more than 300,000 vehicles a year with this engine in Europe by 2015. Europe is currently the only market where the smallest of the EcoBoost engines is offered (including in the Focus pictured above), but US-spec Fiesta models will be getting this mill for 2014.
Three-cylinder engines are expected to continue to grow in popularity in coming years with the report indicating that global production of these engines will double by 2018 to 9.8 million units. General Motors, BMW and Mitsubishi are all expected to introduce three-cylinder engines in the near term, as well.
2014 Ford Fusion order guide reveals new base Hybrid model, equipment changes
Tue, 23 Apr 2013We've gotten our grubby little digits on the dealer order guide for the as-yet-unreleased 2014 Ford Fusion thanks to an anonymous tipster, and while there isn't much that's unexpected, there are some meaningful equipment changes to report after the rakish sedan's first year on the market.
Mechanically, the big news is, of course, the recently confirmed availability of the 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with a six-speed automatic. The powertrain replaces the 1.6-liter automatic setup of 2013, though if you want a manual transmission, you'll still get the extra .1-liter of displacement.
On the equipment front, there are newly available rear inflatable seatbelts - as seen previously on the Explorer - along with a new heated steering wheel and cooled seat option on Titanium and Titanium Hybrid models (the latter two options will be late availability).
Chip Foose tastefully enhances his personal Ford GT
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Typically, we'd expect a vehicle from 2006 to fall well short of a more modern vehicle, both in terms of performance and style. Of course, the Ford GT is not your average offering from the Bush era. That's doubly true when the 2006 GT in question belongs to one Chip Foose.
Purchased by his wife as a 50th birthday present, Foose is showing his custom, personalized GT at the 2014 SEMA Show. The 5.4-liter supercharged V8 breathes a bit easier thanks to a full Magnaflow Performance exhaust, but Foose's GT isn't all about the performance.
Instead, the car customizer extraordinaire has focused on tasteful aesthetic enhancement, tweaking the rear end by removing the bumper and trimming the frame extensions. The wheels, meanwhile, are one-off aluminum alloys, designed by Foose himself. Like the stripes, the wheels feature orange accenting.
