I have a very nice '04 Ranger for auction. I purchased it from a co worker a few months back with VERY light front end damage (see pic). It did blow the airbags but everything was replaced (driver/ pass bags, computer, and seat belts) and the system is properly functioning. She was only going about 25mph on a country road when someone turned in front of her. There was no frame damage and it required only a headlight/ turn signal, grill, bumper, bumper valance, and header panel replacement. It's a good title truck.

It's a 2WD XLT 2 door extended cab with a 5 speed manual transmission. It has ice cold A/C, CD player, tilt/ cruise, and a sliding rear window, crank windows and manual locks.

Mechanical: My co worker was the original owner and I have every receipt for everything done to the truck from the day it was new. Oil changes were every 3-5k miles (some in the 2k miles). The brakes only have a few thousand miles, tires are almost new, a newer ball joint, a new tie rod, and a front end alignment ~500 miles ago are some of the recent work completed. I have all of the work that was done summarized and sorted chronologically in an Excel file if interested. It's a 3.0V6 with a manual transmission with very low 57k miles. It runs well and did 26mpg on a highway trip recently. The leaf spring shackles are rock solid and the frame just has some light surface rust, not swiss cheese like my last Ranger.

Cosmetics: The interior is really clean with very little wear. The previous owner was a non smoker and so am I. It has some scratches and light dings (mostly to the top of the bed sides) but it shines up really well and looks good. It originally had painted bumpers but since the front needed replaced from the accident we replaced the front and back with chrome ones and added a chrome grill. Also, I added some chrome caps to the steel wheels so it looks a little better.

Payment: Deposit of $200 via PayPal within 48 hours of end of auction. Full (cleared) payment is due before shipping. Cash or bank check. It's not in my way, so the pick up date is not critical.

Shipping: I would be happy to ship it at buyers expense after payment is clear. Also, I would be happy to pick up the buyer at the Cleveland Hopkins airport (CLE) and you can drive it home.

Email me for more info/ pictures or to come take a look. It's also for sale local and I will cancel the auction if it sells locally. Thanks.

Ford and Chrysler reducing summer plant shutdowns

Wed, 22 May 2013

Most domestic automaker assembly plants traditionally take a couple of weeks off during the summer. The shutdowns give each plant time for much needed repairs and maintenance, and in some cases, help better align production with demand. Not this year, though, as demand for many models is outstripping what Ford, Chrysler and General Motors plants can produce.
Ford has announced that it will shorten its annual summer shutdown for most North American plants from two weeks to one. The shorter shutdown will increase the carmaker's annual North American production by 40,000 units on top of the 200,000 extra units that it was already planning to produce this year versus last. Automotive News reports that Ford produced 2.8 million vehicles on this continent in 2012, and that output this year has already increased 13 percent through April.
Chrysler, meanwhile, is also operating at full tilt and plans to run some plants through the summer with no shutdown at all. Those not getting a break include Jefferson North where the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango are assembled, Toledo North that will assemble the new Cherokee, and Conner Avenue, home of SRT Viper production. Other assembly plants will be down for a single week, while all of Chrysler's engine and transmission plants except one in Indiana will continue operating with no shutdown this summer.

Texan finds creative way to clear highway fast lane

Tue, Jun 14 2016

Few things are as infuriating as someone driving slow in the fast lane. A Jeep driver from Texas found himself in just such a predicament near Fort Worth, and came up with a creative way to urge the offending lane-blocker to get a move on. Machine, a YouTuber and off-road enthusiast from the Lone Star State, posted some dashcam footage to his account back in March which showed him stuck behind a slow driver. He was attempting to pass a slow-moving bobtail Peterbilt tractor when he got hung up by a white Ford Econoline squatting in the passing lane. On his YouTube page, Machine stated that the van, which apparently belonged to a plumbing company, was traveling along between 60 and 70 miles per hour along a stretch of highway with a stated speed limit of 70 mph. Confronted with the slow-moving van blocking the left lane, and traffic in the right lane, Machine called the number on the back of the Econoline and politely asked him to get out of the way. In the Econoline, the passenger picked up and was momentarily confused as Machine asked him to ask his driver to move out of the lane and let traffic pass. The van sped up, passed a tractor-trailer, and got out of the way, much to the relief of the traffic behind him. According to CBS news, 38 states have laws on the books to punish slow drivers squatting in the passing lane. In five of those states, the fine is upwards of $1000, and 22 states classify it as a misdemeanor.

Focus ST diesel variant coming, just don't look for it here

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

A few years back, Volkswagen made some waves when it announced the Golf GTD - a diesel-powered car that, aside from its ultra-efficient, ultra-torquey engine, was identical to the gas-powered GTI. That meant cosseting sport seats, larger wheels, sportier suspension, larger brakes and a body kit that made the GTD indistinguishable from the GTI, except for the three little letters on the back and in the grille.
Now, Ford is looking to replicate VW's success, with a diesel version of the Focus ST. According to Motor Trend, the diesel-powered ST will use a 2.0-liter, 182-horsepower four-cylinder. With an unspecified amount of torque on offer (we'd guess around 280 pound-feet), the diesel hot hatch should hit 62 miles per hour in about eight seconds.
The report, which originally comes from Auto Express, claims the ST Diesel was confirmed by Ford Chief Marketing Officer Mark Fields during this week's Geneva Motor Show. Not surprisingly, it doesn't appear there are any plans to bring a diesel-powered Focus of any kind to the US, let alone one that uses the suspension, steering and other items from the ST. Of course, if there's an official confirmation from Ford, we'll be sure to report on it.
