No matter where I go in this truck, it's the topic of surrounded by folks! Little history on the truck. I purchased this truckfrom an older couple living in Idaho (original owners) that purchased this trucknew ( traded in a1955 Ford pickup for this truck in 1997 with intentions of itbeing their last vehicle, but she became ill , and they bought a class C motorhome to transport her back and forth to Salt Lake City Utah for treatment). Ipurchased this truck from them with approximately 30000 miles. I have owned itfor 8 or 9 years. Installed 2 new batteries, replaced cutch and dual massflywheel, with solid flywheel.Which after changing dual mass flywheel, I reallydidn't like the resonance vibration noise, so I purshased a brand new OEMdual mass flywheel (still in box) ( I believe the last one in the country).Other than routine oil changes (Rotella 15W40), antifreeze additive, fuelfilters, and tires, this has been one of the best trucks I have ever owned! Ihope I don't regret the sale of this truck!! This truck is very cleaninside and out with power windows and locks, cruise, tilt, original AM/FMcassette radio, sliding rear window, factory tinted windows, power drivers seatwith power lumbar on both seats, A/C blows cold (freeze you out). This truckbody is rust free, paint shines like a new one! No cracks in dash, upholstery islike new! Original auto locking hubs, original wheels, no tuners or exhaust (hasfactory exhaust) !! Spray in Line-X bed liner. There is a small crease in therear bumper, refer to the pictures. No rust under doors as seen in photos. Thisis a very nice truck for a 20 year old truck!

Ford recalling nearly 700k Escape CUVs, C-Max hybrids over two separate safety issues
Fri, 09 May 2014Poor Escape. Ever since its launch in 2012, Ford's small CUV has been the subject of many, many, many recalls. And today, The Detroit News is reporting that Ford is adding two more recalls to the 2013-14 model year Escape's permanent record, one of them also involves the C-Max hybrid hatchback.
The first recall, covering 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles, is due to a software glitch that could cause the airbags - specifically, the safety canopy - to not deploy in a timely fashion during rollover crashes. According to the News, Ford says no crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this problem.
The second recall, covering 692,700 Escapes, is related to the door handles. The News reports that the exterior door handles could open while the vehicle is in motion, and could also fail to latch properly. Once again, no crashes or injuries have occurred because of this. The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration has not issued an official notice on either recall as of this writing.
70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025
Wed, 11 Jun 2014In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.
Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue
Fri, 22 Feb 2013It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.
