Hello guys. I purchased this vehicle from a police auction in Columbus Ohio. Every vehicle sold there is issued a SALVAGE TITLE, after passing a BMV inspection it receives a REBUILT SALVAGE TITLE. A quick check of the auto report will verify that this vehicle has never been "totaled", nor had flood damage, therefore the "rebuilt salvage" label is a technicality. You can also call the Franklin County Sheriff's Department, which is listed as the previous owner. The good: I had a locksmith make a key - it started instantly (after waiting for the glow plugs, of course) doesn't smoke, and it passed the "blow by" test. I am not a mechanic, but the engine is strong; it will get up and go. The bad: Besides needing a little TLC (crack in driver side mirror, dime sized hole and missing handle on tailgate, dent in rear quarter panel that looks like someone "butted" or kicked it) there is a noticeable hesitation when shifting from 1 to 2 gear. It happens when you press too hard on the accelerator pedal from a stopped position. However, If you gradually press it, or slightly take your foot off of the pedal when you notice the hesitation, it will shift fine.I was told it could be a fuel filter, fuel pump, stuck valve in transmission accumulator or a broken spring in the accumulator, which can be fixed for less than a few hundred buck by dropping the transmission pan. (Youtube accumulator for this model) As I said, I am not a mechanic, but there is a lot of life left in this truck, If you have mechanical knowledge and ability, here is an inexpensive truck for you. If you believe that you know what the issue is and want to fix it here, that is OK, if you live far away, you should tow it home. If not for the shifting issue, I wouldn't be afraid to drive this truck anywhere in the country. Reserve is low. Thanks for looking.

Whatever the shifting issue is, it is not major, this best describes what the truck is experiencing. THE ENGINE IS STRONG! Read my description again.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP-TXqC3f9g

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit can haul on the track
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Line up any two comparable vehicles, and eople are going to want to race them. Need proof? In its latest track battle, Auto Express wants to know which commercial vehicle can lap a circuit faster - a Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Let's face it, neither of these European vans were ever meant to be near the track unless they are delivering a racecar and a ton of parts for a fun weekend, but it's massively fun to watch them give it a go anyway.
The one thing that Auto Express really illustrates here is the modern marvel that is stability control. The driver hops curves, and these big vans lean in the corners like your friend walking home from a long night at the bar. However, because of the amazing stability systems, the vans mostly keep all of their wheels planted and never seem close to getting sloppy, despite their behemoth size.
Unfortunately, the two vans aren't exactly fairly paired. The Ford has a dual rear axle and a few other advantages over the Mercedes, but it's still hilarious to watch them go. Even better, the host breaks down everything happening behind the wheel like these commercial vehicles were two Porsches. Enjoy watching this very unorthodox battle between Ford and Mercedes.
Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer
Fri, 13 Dec 2013To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.
Ford to pay $17.35 million over Escape recall
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Ford had a bit of a recall spree around this time last year, with a pair of issues on the then-new 2013 Escape, followed by a recall of 423,000 2001 to 2004 Escapes because they might accelerate of their own accord. Accordingly, Uncle Sam pasted Ford with a $17.35 million fine because it took too long to inform customers, according to a report from Automotive News.
Ford agreed to settle with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accepting the fine but not admitting fault. The recall, which afflicted Escapes with the 3.0-liter V-6 along with 217,000 Mazda Tributes from 2001 to 2006 and 2008, was due to faulty gas pedals that could stay down after a driver removed their foot.
Ford issued a statement regarding the fine, saying, "We take the safety of our customers seriously and continuously evaluate our processes for improvements. While we are confident in our current processes for quickly identifying and addressing potential vehicle issues, Ford agreed to this settlement to avoid a lengthy dispute with the government."
