1989 ford ranger. top chopped with full stock windshield. Body: completely rust free with the exception of some minor rust bubbles in the area of the re fit of the windshield post (see pics.) bed mini tubbed. full interior and headliner. needs repaint as the clear coat is lifting in places and rubbed through around the driver window (probably from arm and hand contact while being driven.  has a custom grille. some custom details around the body.

Drive train: 355 early 70"s Chevy with a moderate camshaft and Pete Jackson gear drive. internals details unknown. stock exhaust manifolds into dual turbo type mufflers. (sound good but needs attention. ) aluminum dual plane Edelbrock intake and Holly list 3310 carb. Trans: 700 r 4 that I had rebuilt with 3300 stall lock up converter, Kevlar bands, corvette servo, and overdrive lock up is through a manual push /pull switch on the dash. (trans has less than 1000 mile on it. rear end: 9 inch ford narrowed single track (yup) and 14/ 32/mickeys and pro star wheels.

Overall: nice running and starting truck. drives anywhere and sounds like a 9 second truck . using the overdrive and the vacuum secondary carb the is a level of fuel economy. However it really wants a double pumper. there is an electric holly 85 gph fuel pump pulling through the stock set up in the fuel tank. also a thermostat controlled electric fan. both are wired on relays. The 14/32s rub slightly on the frame rails when cornering a little hard. There are many themes that could be carried from pro street/drag to ridiculous over the top street, rat rod or a nice street rod type. I am going VW drag racing and have decide to focus on that. I have had this truck for 4 years and it has grown on me and turns heads where ever I take it.

Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects

Thu, 16 May 2013

Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.

Ford moving medium-duty F-Series production from Mexico to Ohio

Thu, 27 Feb 2014


A few more Ford trucks will be built in the US in the near future with news that production of the F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks will move from Mexico to Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, OH. Ford hasn't confirmed a precise timeline for the move, but The Detroit News claims the Blue Oval will make the shift later this year or in early 2015.
As Ford spokesperson Mike Levine reminded us, back in 2011, Ford announced in an investor release that it would shift production "after the [Ohio] plant stops current production of the Ford E-Series vans." According to that release, the Ohio factory will also receive $128 million in upgrades to build the new trucks, plus the F53 motorhome chassis and F59 commercial chassis.

Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses

Wed, 25 Jul 2012



Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.
