Wichita, Kansas, United States
280000 miles ...Just broke in...Good for 500000 plus. 267000 replaced timing belt and all other belts for the 4th time. Told every 90000 good but avg time between
replacement 70000. Replaced the water pump/radiator at this time. Changed spark pugs three times and coils once. Last time on the spark pugs was 257000 when replacing the valve cover gaskets. 270000 miles replace all U-joints on drive train. Transfer case U-joints were ok and greased. Replaced U-joints had Grease Points and were grease often. The new ones do not. A three day old jeep was pushed into the front by a in a hurry mustang while sitting at a stop sign. Would have drove away but a small pin hole in the radiator prevented it. Hood and grill lights have been replaced and custom bumper is ready for a winch and fog lights. Truck probably has 70000 more miles than average. Had 200 mile Sunday paper route. Average MPG 17 stop and go...20.5 Highway. Nearly new rubber and the front struts and rear shocks were replaced 250000 miles. Rides good on the highway/ hold steady on country road and pasture. Front calipers and disc replace, rears brakes and ABS brake actuator replaced between 180000 and 200000. Transmission was recently flushed with new fluid for the third time. Have been using good synthetic for the last 80000 plus . Rear bumper is good but tail gate has a very shallow push in dead center of the tag. Don't know where that came from. Had this truck since 2001. It had 56,000 miles on it. Serviced it regularly and replaced what ever broke. It is good truck now and can be a good truck for the right person. Retirement and one too many trucks causes me to sell it. I will need to see reference and an intention list from any new owner.(Just Kidding) It is for sale at a reasonable price. Tried to price it a fair range to Kelly Blue Book, $5500. Put a Craigs List topper on in..Wash it and a good detail it will look like an $8000 dollar vehicle. I will accept a fair OBO. |

NHTSA expands new Takata probe to 4 more automakers
Thu, Dec 19 2019DETROIT — The U.S. government's highway safety agency has launched an investigation into four additional automakers that have a potentially deadly type of Takata air bag inflator in their vehicles but have yet to recall them. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in documents posted Thursday that it is investigating Audi, Toyota, Honda and Mitsubishi in connection with a Takata recall involving 1.4 million inflators. This brings the total number of manufacturers potentially impacted to five, as BMW was connected to the issue when it was brought to light earlier in December. The inflators made by the now-bankrupt Takata have a distinct and separate problem that can cause them to blow apart a metal canister and spew shrapnel into people's faces and bodies. The problem killed a driver in Australia who was in an older 3-Series BMW, which has already recalled more than 116,000 vehicles. The problem is so dangerous that in some cases BMW has told drivers to park their vehicles until repairs can be made. The safety agency says in documents that Takata didn't provide details on the affected makes, models or model years of vehicles with the defective inflators. So it is telling the companies to recall them promptly. The agency says that based on when the faulty inflators were produced, it's likely that the vehicles to be recalled came from the 1995 through 2000 model years. In letters to all four automakers, NHTSA says they have five business days to notify the agency after finding out about a safety defect. “If your company has not yet gathered enough evidence to make a determination that the subject air bag inflators present an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety, reply with a detailed work plan including the benchmark dates required to make the determination,” the agency wrote in letters to all four automakers dated Wednesday. A Honda spokesman said Thursday it hasn't determined yet whether its vehicles are affected, but a decision should be made soon. Audi, Mitsubishi and Toyota said they are still investigating. NHTSA has told the companies to respond by Jan. 17. On Dec. 4, NHTSA posted documents from Takata and BMW detailing the problems. The documents said the Australian driver was killed, while another Australian driver and a driver in Cyprus were injured. Unlike previous recalls, the Takata non-azide inflators do not use volatile ammonium nitrate to fill the air bags in a crash.
Toyota Auris Touring Sports is a handsome Prius V alternative [w/videos]
Wed, 06 Mar 2013The Toyota Prius V has a lot to recommend it, but adventurous and sporty styling is not in its repertoire. That's why this new Auris Touring Sports has our attention. Claimed to be the "first full hybrid estate car" in the compact class, this two-box Auris has genuine visual panache to go with its load-lugging capability and parsimonious fuel economy. In the metal, we think its v-shaped grille and headlamp treatment acquits itself better than it does on the new RAV4, a model that shares its new design language.
Built by Toyota UK, the Auris Touring Sports hybrid is powered by a familiar-sounding 1.8-liter gas engine paired with an electric motor, with total system output quoted at 134 horsepower. The model will also be available in a variety of gas or diesel trims if you prefer your vehicle sans electrification (a non-hybrid model is shown). It goes on sale later this year in Europe, but don't hold your breath to see one in North America. Still interested? Scroll below to see a couple of videos and to read the official press release.
North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014
Sun, 23 Dec 2012Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time.
