For sale is a 1938 Ford Pickup. This is the 1/2 ton model. The truck has a 1950 Ford flathead V8 (the 100 HP model) engine with a 1936 Ford manual trans. This was the only engine and tranny I had available at the time and I needed the truck running so I could move it around as needed for space reasons. Ive owened the truck for about a year and a half. The clutch was not the right one as it was also from another year but the truck drove around just fine otherwise. The truck was running and driving up to a month ago. I parked it for about three weeks and left the brake light on. I cant get the truck to start now. The ignition wont crank over. Im not sure whats wrong. I charged the battery which had died on me but I think the voltage regulator or a fuse went out. I already replced the starter solenoid so I know that's not it. I just bought a replacement voltage regulator from eBay which will be included. Also included is the correct clutch, brand new with all the hardware needed and even a clutch centering tool. Also a correct fit oil pan for the engine with a new oil pan gasket. The pan on there now doesnt quite fit properly because its also from another year. But everything, once replaced, would make for a nice weekend cruiser.

I drove every weekend around town until I got busy with other projects. The truck also has the original rims and rear end. The mechanical brakes work great. Cab and hood metal is pretty good. Rest of the truck, bed and fenders, are ok. One fender was pretty bad so I replaced it with a fiberglass one but I will include the oriinal steel one in case you want to have it repaired. Also the head panel of the bed was pretty bad also so I have a replacement steel panel also included. It is unpainted. I will include the original head panel too if wanted. This is a pretty god rat rod as is and could be a good project for a hot rod if someone wanted to do that. Its uncut and other then the engine and tranny and passenger side rear fender unmolested. It just needs a few parts swapped and it will be a great weekend truck.

The rear bumper and bumper brackets are also included. I may even install the bumper this weekend.

The truck is also currently registered and insured and has a Clean California title in my name. This specific truck was appraised by Hagerty Classic Car insurance at $5000.

I was going to list this truck for $5000 and I think I it was worth it but since its not running right now and I don't have time to get it going Im only asking for $4000.

I'm open to offers. Obviously $4000 is what I feel the truck is worth, but if you feel differently then make an offer for what you can afford.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.

Ford recalls Explorer and Lincoln MKC for fire hazard

Thu, Mar 31 2016

The Basics: Ford will recall 5,536 examples of the 2016 Explorer and 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC. The Explorers have build dates between October 20, 2014, and January 28, 2016, at the Chicago Assembly Plant. The MKCs are from between November 25, 2013, and January 25, 2016, at the Louisville Assembly Plant. In total, there are 3,129 total affected examples of the 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2,407 examples of the 2016 Ford Explorer. Of these, 1,543 are in the US and 3,993 are in Canada. The Problem: The combination of the engine block design and the block heater in these vehicles can cause the part to overheat when plugged in. Injuries/Deaths: None reported, but there are two cases of underhood fires in Canada. If you own one: Ford will begin notifying owners during the week of May 16, company spokesperson John Cangany tells Autoblog. Related Video: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles to replace engine block heaters Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 5,500 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles to remove the heaters and replace them with an updated design. The engine block design, coupled with the particular block heater installed in these vehicles, causes the unit to be susceptible to overheating when the vehicle is parked and the block heater is plugged in –increasing the risk of an underhood fire. Ford is aware of two reports of underhood fires in Canada, but is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this issue. Affected vehicles include certain 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC vehicles built at Louisville Assembly Plant, Nov. 25, 2013 through Jan. 25, 2016 and certain 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant, Oct. 20, 2014 through Jan. 28, 2016. There are 5,536 vehicles affected by the issue, including 3,129 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2,407 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles, with 1,543 of the affected vehicles in the United States and federalized territories and 3,993 in Canada. Dealers will remove and replace the engine block heater with an updated design and, if needed, replace the cord at no cost to the customer.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy

Tue, 07 May 2013

With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
