08 Ranger XL 2.3L DOHC engine w/ Automatic  OD transmission that's been tweeked a bit.

Runs & drives great!  safe & dependable transportation.  Uses regular gas.

The mileage will increase until sold.  -    Mileage quoted is as of 8-4-2013. 

 

 

I bought this when I owned a 08 Mini Cooper  S model that needed many repairs off & on.  This was my alt. transportation while getting it repaired. I sold the MINI and bought something new so this is now sitting most of the time and that's a shame since it drives so well.

 

I bought it at 293K  in January of this year, and removed the engine & transmission after having it a short while.  Both worked but the engine was really worn and I wanted a truck you could drive anywhere.  In March I bought a 07 Engine w/50K from N. Carolina, and a Transmission w/Torque Converter from LKQ in Ontario that came out of a 09 Ranger with 29k.  The Ranger engine runs & drives like it has only 50K on it at best, it's smooth shifting trans indicate the seller told me the truth.  No leaks, overheating, or slipping from the trans, just good performance.   New Plugs, coolant & 3 oil changes to date just to flush the engine well, not knowing it's total history.  I used High detergent oil for 500 miles (that now becomes chain saw lube), semi synthetic for 2,000 miles, and currently, fully synthetic motor oil.  The oil looks & smells new, it will always be good for 5000 + miles between changes, with good synthetic oil.

 

New Goodyear Wrangler Radial tires & new Cragar wheels with Chrome Center Caps &  with all new TPMS clamps & sensors installed & working perfectly.  04/2013

 

Front brakes replaced last weekend 07/2013:  Ceramic pads w/ drilled rotors-all new, bearings lubed with Mobil 1 synthetic grease, inside & out.

 

New windshield, wiper arms & wiper blades:)  04/2013  (it had a minor crack above the mirror & I replaced it to get full coverage insurance)

 

The front end parts appear fairly new, there was a history of minor impact & I suppose they had to replace the front end components & lights. 

 

Re-cycled Gentex  Auto-Dim rear view mirror installed:)  04/2103

 

HID headlamps 6000K

 

New OEM plugs & Wireset as well as a new Ign. Coil, TPS, and MAF sensor.  05/2013

 

New power window units:) 03/2013

Power door lock cylinders:) 03/2013

 

Remote Start, "THOR" 2 Way FM 3000 meter Keyless Entry/Alarm system:) Installed  04/2013      I've walked blocks from my car and started it using this exact same system-it's really long range.  If someone messes with your truck, it can trigger the alarm on the truck, or, just notify you through the remote so that you can catch them in the act.   It really works well.  Has various settings including auto start in extremely cold weather.

 

New fuel pump assembly installed 05/2013.

New Battery, 01/2013

 

I suggest you come and see it before buying or bidding just to satisfy your own curiosity.  I think it's a heck of a truck at the starting price, and I know I've spent more than that price, in getting it into this good of shape.

 

The pictures were taken today, without much prep, I will clean it up some before letting anyone pick it up and drive it home.  If you want it shipped, you do the work and I'll work with your shipping agent to be available as needed.

 

Good luck,  send questions if you have any and I'll respond ASAP.

Inside Ford's high-tech climate chamber

Sat, Dec 27 2014

There are two ways an automaker can test its vehicles in extreme climates: it can send said vehicle around the world – from Death Valley to the Arctic Circle – in search of the harshest weather, or it can recreate those conditions in an enclosed environment. We're sure that many automakers undertake some combination of both, but in this latest video clip, Ford shows us around inside it's state-of-the-art climate chamber. At its Driveability Test Facility in Allen Park, MI – inaugurated in 2010 just across the street from the Roush Technology Center – Ford can simulate all sorts of extreme conditions. It can drop the temperature down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit or raise it up to 130, and take it up to a simulated 12,000 feet above sea level or drop it down to 280 feet below. blast it with 150-mile-per-hour winds. It can control the level of humidity, approximate the intensity of the sun and even blast the test vehicle with artificial snow, just like your favorite ski resort. The facility strikes us as an engineering feat as impressive as some of the vehicles it's used to test, but don't take our word for it – scope it out for yourself in this brief two-minute video clip, which even includes some helpful tips for winter driving this holiday season and beyond.

Former Ford president, Jaguar chairman Nick Scheele dead at 70

Sun, 20 Jul 2014

We have the privilege here at Autoblog of reporting a lot of good news, but it is our duty as well to report the bad news and sad news as well. And this is one of those occasions as the automotive industry mourns the passing of one of its leaders.
Nick Scheele was born in the UK in 1944 and joined the Ford Motor Company upon graduating from the University of Durham in 1966, staying within the Blue Oval's portfolio for the entirety of his career. After moving to North America in 1978, he rose through the ranks to become president of Ford's Mexican operations in 1988. After acquiring Jaguar, Ford appointed Scheele as its chairman.
Scheele subsequently acted as chairman of all of Ford's European operations, making difficult decisions to take the division out of the red and into the black. He briefly headed up Ford's North American division before he was appointed in 2001 as president and chief operating officer of the global automaker, working under CEO Bill Ford following the departure of Jacques Nasser departure and retaining the role until his retirement in 2005.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation

Sat, 09 Aug 2014



The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
