I'll start this listing by saying I really hate to part with this car.  It is fun to drive and will go through any weather.  It also holds all my family with their friends as it seats 8.

I'll start out with the bad things which will explain why I'm selling it.
Here is what you'll need if you intend to put it back on the road.
1. It failed inspection because of a rusted EGR pipe that is leaking exhaust under the hood.  That pipe and nut are not terribly expensive but from what I'm told the labor can be like opening a can of worms.  Could take a couple hours or an entire day to replace.  I don't have the time or specific knowledge to dig into it myself.
2. The rocker panel on the passenger's side is shot.  See close-up photo.  I have a repair panel I will include with the truck.
3. I has an oil leak which I think could be a head gasket.  I guess this is common on the 4.6.  It shows no signs of oil in the anti-freeze or vice-versa.  You can go for miles without any signs and then out of the blue it will smoke a little and you'll smell oil.  Not sure how this affects inspection though.
4. Inspection guy says it needs a mufflers and tailpipe.  This was news to me.
5. I broke a brake line the last time I plowed with it.  It was on the RH front and I just haven't looked to see exactly what broke.  Could be a hose.
Now the nit-picky crap.
1. The front heat and AC don't work but the rear works awesome.  I'm guessing it's a diverter valve under the dash.
2. You will need a new battery.  No question.
3. The rear wiper arm is stripped out but the motor seems to be fine.
4. The driver's outside mirror cracked while sitting this past Winter.  No idea why.
5. Inner CV boot ripped on front axle.  One front U-Joint is a little loose and may need replacing in the near future.
6. Front pinion seal has small leak.
7. Trans tailshaft seal has a small leak.
8. There is a vibration in the front end at higher speeds only on acceleration.  I originally thought it had something to do with the activation of the AWD related to a solenoid, ABS sensor or something but, honestly, I really don't know.  The ABS light is not on.
Now the good stuff.
1. Just had $494.00 worth of work done on it when he was nice enough to tell me it failed inspection.  Wish he had inspected it before the work.
2. About $700.00 worth of new General Grabber HTS tires.  2 front tires literally have less than 100 miles.  The other 2 have about 5000 miles.  Tire photos are of a front and a rear.  These are 265/70R17's
3. Interior is practically flawless.  Unheard of condition for a car with this many miles.  Leather seats with 3rd row seating.  Capacity for 8 passengers.
4. Last time I looked, the rear frame crossmember was in good shape.  This is usually a common problem area for these cars.
5. Premium AM/FM Ford radio with 6-disc CD changer in console.
6. Part of recent work was a 4-wheel alignment.
This vehicle cannot be driven away without fixing the brake line and bleeding the brakes.  Bring a trailer to tow away.  I'm NOT delivering it anywhere.  You are responsible for arranging transportation.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.

Ford Mustang pinball machine has supple wrist, plays by sense of smell [w/video]

Fri, 07 Feb 2014

Ford didn't have anything major to show off at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, so it seems it instead opted to have some fun - it brought a row of pinball machines to the show. Yes, pinball machines.
We originally told you about the Stern Pinball Ford Mustang machine a few days ago, and as day two of the Chicago show is a bit of a slow one, we opted to head to the show floor and get some snaps of the bank of new machines. Not surprisingly, there's plenty for the Mustang fan in each of these machines, ranging frond different models, to logos to a full model.
Take a look below for our full gallery of live shots, available up top. Then head below for our original gallery of stock images, along with a video and press release on the new machines.

2014 Ford Fiesta ST

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

I'm not overly inclined to professional jealousy, as a rule. Sure, I go a bit green around the eyes when Ramsey draws the 911 GT3 trip to Weissach, Harley is tapped-in to drive a completely stunning Porsche 911 by Singer, or, you know, Drew Phillips gets to shoot a Lamborghini Veneno in the middle of a desert like some sort of sheik. I hate you guys...
Honestly though, one of the new car events that dug me the most, was when our Steven J. Ewing got to fling the Ford Fiesta ST around some hot corner of Europe. What goes around comes around, I suppose, as Mr. Ewing himself espoused an envious nature of the Focus ST trip that came before.
The good news in all this covetous intra-office behavior? All the cars mentioned, and specifically the Fiesta ST, are just wonderful to drive. I can say that with more confidence than ever now, having joined Ford for a good bit of Fiesta-flinging myself. In my case, the locale was slightly more pedestrian (Michigan not Portugal), and the car in question was the five-door version of the Fiesta ST that we get here in The States, as opposed to the three-door number they get across the pond.
