NO RESERVE: THIS WILL SELL! This is a 2004 Ford Ranger Pickup truck. It is the basic truck, with Air Conditioning, am/fm stereo. It is owned by my father who is 78 years old, and did not want to sell it. He is the second owner. He bought it from a dealership January 2009, with 65,800 miles, and the previous owner was a national elevator company. So it was very well maintained with fleet service. The truck now has 111,000 miles and the same excellent maintenance since.

The truck starts every time quickly, quietly and purrs. The interior has not been vacuumed or wiped down, not even a car wash; so you can see this really is how the truck has been everyday. Since my father has been diagnosed with his problems, the truck just sat for the last 2-3 years. He would go out to start it, drive it around the block or the occasional trip to Kmart.

Non smoking truck. Interior is really nice. No tears, no cracks, wipe it and it will look new.

Most recently he started the truck and the Check Engine light came on. I drove it to Advance Auto they read the code and said it may need Catalytic converter. During an emission inspection a last year, a new Oxygen Sensor was installed. About 4 years ago, it needed a transmission, that was covered by the extended warranty. The only other thing that might need attention is the chip on the windshield. It is not cracked, so it may be fine for years, or you can get a "chip filler".

I finally convinced my father it is time to sell it, so it will go. There is NO RESERVE, and it is definitely sold AS-IS. The truck is in Somerton section of the North East Philadelphia, close to Bustleton and Byberry Roads. Call me to make arrangements to see it. Please do NOT CALL with offers, I will let the auction go to the end.

Project Ugly Horse: Part VI

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

Solid axle? What solid axle?
I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation.
This should not have gone this easily. Having a long and checkered history of simple projects punctuated by much wailing and gnashing of knuckles, I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation when I finally decided to lay hands on the '89 Mustang with the goal of relieving the car of its stock rear axle. Instead, it took less than a full morning's worth of work to carve the old 7.5-inch solid axle from its moorings and mock up something, well, different.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit can haul on the track

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Line 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.
