1999 Ford F-150 Xlt 4x4 W/ Ladder Racks & Husky Tool Box Needs Tranny 191k V8 on 2040-cars

Year:1999 Mileage:191350 Color: two
Location:

Farmington, Connecticut, United States

Farmington, Connecticut, United States

You are buying my old pickup truck, a 1999 Ford F-150 XLT as pictured in the listing. 

PLEASE NOTE: I AM SELLING THIS AS A SALVAGE ITEM. IT NEEDS A TRANSMISSION. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT A SHORT DISTANCE BUT I CANNOT GUARANTEE IT WILL TRAVEL VERY FAR. THE OVERDRIVE LIGHT IS BLINKING AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS SIGNIFICANTLY AT COLD TEMPERATURES AND LOW SPEEDS. PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT WHEN BIDDING ON THIS ITEM!

The truck has the small V8, which runs like a top. It has 191,350 miles on it. It is Amazon green exterior two-tone with tan cloth interior. This is the stripped out truck--it has manual locks and crank windows and no cruise control. The air conditioning does not work. Furthermore, it has a serious transmission problem including a fluid leak--the overdrive light is blinking and the tranny slips significantly to the point that it is difficult to operate. This is the reason it's on eBay. 

What it has going for it: two BRAND NEW rear tires (500 miles on them). (front tires have about 10-15% of treadwear remaining). Nice ladder racks. Nice Husky toolbox (like new, locking). A bed with only a tiny amount of rust on it.

This is the right truck for somebody with an extra tranny laying around or for someone that wants to cannibalize the parts for his/her own truck and then cut off the cat and sell the rest of the truck for scrap. (curb weight is about 5150 pounds.)

Toyota again claims Corolla outsold Focus worldwide

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

Toyota isn't convinced the Ford Focus was the best-selling nameplate globally last year. Bloomberg reports that for the second time in seven months, both Toyota and Ford are laying claim to the title. Ford cites R.L. Polk & Co. data that says the automaker moved some 1.02 million Focus models in 2012 compared to just 872,774 Toyota Corolla units. But Toyota says the actual figure is closer to 1.16 million Corolla models.
Last year, Ford said it took the sales crown through the fist half of 2012 based on information from IHS Automotive, but Toyota pointed out those numbers left out models like the Corolla-based Matrix and Auris, as well as the Corolla Fielder and Scion xB-based Corolla Rumion. Whether or not Toyota's belief that all these cars should be counted in the Corolla bucket is accurate or not is seemingly up for debate... as is the question of why it matters so much to both parties.
This time around, Ford is holding the line that the Focus is the "best-selling nameplate," with Erich Merkle, a US sales analyst with Ford saying the company's figure is, "a pure number that is verified by a third party." Toyota, meanwhile, has requested clarification from Polk.

Project Ugly Horse: Part VIII

Now With More EcoBoost
There's an EcoBoost 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in there somewhere, and it's headed straight for Ugly Horse.
For the second time in my life, I'm staring at an engine in the back of a truck with no concept of how to get it safely into the garage by my lonesome. The first time this happened, I dragged home a $300 International 345 V8 in the back of my Scout Terra only to discover that the bounds of my manliness terminated well before my ability to muscle that 800-pound cast iron block out of the pickup bed.

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
