Here is a 1993 Ford Ranger Sport 4x4 Turbocharged 5 speed, the motor is out of a 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbocoupe and has the LA3 ECU and "big vam" and 35lbs injectors. The transmission and transfer case are the 3.0 liter set up adapted to fit the 2.3 turbo. It does not burn or leak engine oil or transmission fluid. All the stock gauges work fine. This truck is a great truck that has many upgrades like: front mount intercooler, roller cam, 3" exhaust front to back, new clutch, HID headlights, Audi blow off valve, tow hitch, and more I am probably forgetting.


The truck features manual door locks and windows, (stock) AM/FM stereo, power steering, opening rear window, push button 4x4, cloth interior, vinyl floor (hose out floor).

The truck runs and drives great and is currently set to about 12psi boost, it has a slight tendency to overboost under the hardest acceleration. It may be a bad waste gate actuator diaphragm. The seats are a bit dirty and could use a shampoo, There is a power steering leak in the steering box at the pitman arm seal. One of the rear tires looses are about 3-5psi per week. There is no rear view mirror. The check engine light comes on periodically because the EGR has been deleted. As far as the body, I would give a 6 out of 10 mostly because the tail gate is beat up a little, and there is a couple of deep scratches, there are no significant dents or gashes. The front bumper has some rust spots. There is an area of the bed on the drivers side that has some paint fading showing the original 90's looking graphics that have been removed (buff out maybe???)

Overall this is a great little truck that will more than get out of its own way. The brakes are new and stop on a dime. The push button 4x4 is amazing for whatever you need to drive in. Everything is smooth and undramatic, this truck could and has easily been a daily driver but could also be an ultra nice truck with a little buffing and polishing and maybe some paint work. I have owned this truck for 2 years and it has started on the coldest of winter days and stayed cool on the hottest of summer days, it is a totally reliable vehicle.

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.

Rowan Atkinson crashes at Goodwood Revival

Sun, 14 Sep 2014

To quote Harry Hogge (played by Robert Duvall) in Days of Thunder, "rubbin, son, is racin'." That can mean some unfortunate damage to high-end racing machinery, which may be repaired easily enough in stock car racing, but when it comes to vintage racing, the stakes can be that much higher. And yet incidents do occur, like at this weekend's Goodwood Revival.
Among the many competitors taking part in the retro racing event in England was none other than Rowan Atkinson, the actor perhaps best known for playing Mr. Bean. Driving a classic Ford Falcon Sprint in the Shelby Cup event, Atkinson (pictured above at the 2012 revival) reportedly crashed head-on into another car on track.
According to reports, the two cars up spun out. The driver in between managed to avoid a pile-up, but Atkinson couldn't steer clear and hit the obstructing vehicle. Fortunately Rowan walked away unscathed (and, we imagine, in a humorous manner), but while we don't know how extensive the damage was to the Falcon, it was enough to take it out of the race.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
