OK, here's the deal.... this is the third time I'm listing this truck.  If you live in Texas, please don't bid.  If you live in Alabama, please don't bid.  It costs like $1000 to ship the vehicle to far away places and I don't want to again deal with someone who bids then realizes how much it costs to ship, then backs out.  If you bid and don't live close, I will cancel your bid.  Sorry, but I've lost months dealing with this, twice now, and I have to sell this truck.  That being said.........

 

Original owner of 2001 Ford Ranger XLT, 2WD, 3.0LV6 automatic transmission, 2-door with foldaway jump seats.  Vehicle has 202,000 miles and is in need of some servicing.  Many new parts and recent service. I have done most of the tune up, oil change, brakes, exhaust, and general repair myself, but things seem to be piling up and I no longer have the desire to repair the truck myself, or pay to get it fixed. I will do my best to completely describe any/all defects.  If there are any questions, or you would like to see the truck, please contact me.

The good:

  • New spark plugs and wires.
  • New coil pack
  • Recent cam position sensor
  • New front lower ball joints
  • New front upper control arms with ball joints
  • Entire new rear leaf spring suspension
  • Brakes recently done, new rotors on the front
  • New exhaust (intermediate pipe, muffler & tailpipe - not catalytic converter)
  • Recent front shocks
  • Recent emergency brake repair
  • Brand new battery (installed today)
  • New rear brake line
  • Bedliner in good condition
  • Truck is very clean and has always been reliable
  • Service records from recent shop repairs
  • Transmission rebuilt at 100K miles

The bad:

  • Although rear brake line has been replaced, brakes are still soft and other lines appear rusted. Bleed valve on left rear drum broken. It is drivable, but pedal does go almost to the floor. May want to consider tow if driving home far.
  • Truck appears to be going through coolant, need to top off every now and then
  • Probably an oil leak at valve cover causes engine smoke on occasion
  • Truck runs very smoothly, but has hesitated on occasion.  New cam sensor, plugs/wires, coil pack appears to have fixed it.
  • Positive battery cable needs new connector at battery
  • Fender bender has caused front grill crack and minor bumper damage

2015 Ford Mustang GT road test ride-along

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

You've no doubt already pored over our first drive of the 2015 Ford Mustang, where author Jonathon Ramsey proclaimed that "this new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment." And following Ramsey's first stint behind the wheel of Ford's new coupe, we sent him back out with another 'Stang to capture some of these same impressions over a backdrop of the car moving quickly along gorgeous California canyon roads.
But this also gave our author and editors time to read through the hundreds of comments left on that original Mustang review. You readers are indeed a vocal bunch, and one particular comment about how the automotive media is so willing to bash an outgoing car as soon as the new one arrives really caught our attention. In this video, Ramsey stands by his written text, saying the new Mustang is "massively better than the one it replaces," and in doing so, addresses your comments while providing more insight into just how good the Ford truly is.
We won't spoil the rest for you. Check out the feature video above, and as always, leave us your thoughts in the Comments section below.

Mulally to stay at Ford through end of 2014 at least

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

Alan Mulally isn't going anywhere... at least not just yet. The CEO who helped turn around Ford Motor Company has been linked to the top job at tech behemoth Microsoft, leading to a flurry of rumors about potential successors. Those rumors, though, may have just been put to rest - at least for a little while.
Speaking to Edsel Ford II (great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford) at the unveiling of the new Mustang, Automotive News Europe confirmed that Mulally would stick around until the end of next year. "Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that's all I know," said Ford. "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014."
Presuming that Edsel Ford is correct and that Microsoft isn't so hot on Mulally that it saves the position for him, it seems increasingly likely that the 68-year-old exec is more interested in continuing to work in Dearborn rather than in Redmond.

Ken Block shows us around his Ford F-150 RaptorTrax

Thu, Jan 22 2015

From his Fiesta HFHV to his '65 Mustang Hoonicorn, the inimitable Ken Block has some awesome machinery at his disposal. But arguably the coolest of the bunch is the RaptorTrax. Based on the previous-gen Ford F-150 SVT Raptor - the one with the steel frame and V8 engine - Block's back country snowmobile on steroids packs a set of tracks at each corner, a full roll cage, equipment rack, lighting, jump seats, survival gear... everything he could need for a trip off road. The Gymkhana master showcased the beast a couple of months ago on the slopes of Baldface in Nelson, BC, but now he's followed up with a less eye-popping but more informative clip in which he shows us everything his RaptorTrax has to offer.
