I AM THE 3RD OWNER OF THIS RIG. THIS TRUCK IS ALL ORIGINAL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FOLLOWING.....A LACQUER REPAINT BACK IN THE LATE 70'S. IT IS MISSING 2 HUBCAPS. THE ORIGINAL RIMS WERE CHANGED FROM 16.5 TO 16. THE ORIGINAL GAS CAPS WERE CHANGED FOR LOCKING CAPS. 390-C6, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. IT HAS IT'S SHARE OF BUMPS BRUISES SCRATCHES AND DRILL HOLES BUT ON THE PLUS SIDE RUST IS NEARLY NONEXISTENT, NOT EVEN A PIN HOLE ANYWHERE. THE UNDERCARRIAGE WAS RUSTPROOFED EITHER AT THE FACTORY OR FORD DEALER, NOT ONE OF THOSE "COAT OF PRETTY" TO COVER UP EXISTING RUST. I LIFTED THE CARPET AND THERE'S NOT ONE SPEC OF RUST. CRHOME ON THE RANGER BADGES AND F250 HOOD ORNAMENTS IS EXTREMELY NICE. IT WAS ALWAYS KEPT IN A BUILDING AND WELL CARED FOR. THIS RIG WAS USED PRIMARILY FOR CAMPING DURING ITS LIFE SPAN. I DROVE THE TRUCK 2,000 MILES FROM POST FALLS IDAHO EARLIER THIS YEAR. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS A FLAT TIRE SO I BOUGHT 2 NEW FIRESTONE TIRES. THE FUEL PUMP, COOLANT HOSES, FAN BELTS AND A TUNE UP WAS DONE SHORTLY BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. I REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, MUFFLER AND REBUILT THE CARBURETOR WHEN I GOT HOME. STARTS WITH NO PROBLEM NO MATTER HOW LONG IT SITS AND RUNS LIKE A CHAMP. NO SMOKE,NO ENGINE NOISES. TRANNY IS SMOOTH AND CRISP. BRAKES, STEERING, SUSPENSION ARE IN TOP NOTCH SHAPE. NO WEIRD NOISES, PULLING, WANDERING OR SHAKING AT ANY SPEED. JUST SMOOTH AND TIGHT. IT'S TRULY A DELIGHT TO DRIVE.ALL GAUGES AND ELECTRICAL WORK AND BOTH GAS TANKS. I PULLED THE A/C BELT BEFORE THE TRIP I'M SURE THE AIR NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. MORE PICS UPON REQUEST. MAKE REASONABLE OFFER AND I'LL END AUCTION EARLY.

eBay Find Of The Day: 1988 Saleen Ford Mustang General Tire 21R race car
Tue, 29 Jul 2014Saleen may be making headlines these days for working on the Tesla Model S, but its history and bread-and-butter is all about the Ford Mustang. The rear-wheel-drive Dearborn pony cars singlehandedly put the company on the map in the '80s. Founder Steve Saleen was already a talented American racing driver when he started the venture, and like many auto industry businesses before him, Saleen went to the track to prove his vehicles' worth. Now, there's a chance to buy one of those early racers on eBay Motors.
Saleen Mustangs raced in the Sports Car Club of America Escort Endurance Championship - a series of multi-hour races meant to challenge man and machine. Ostensibly a showroom stock class, the cars had larger wheels, tuned suspensions and other upgrades that stretched the concept slightly. Saleen found major success though, taking the championship for its class in 1987 and winning the 24 Hours of Mosport consecutively from 1986 through 1988.
According to the seller, Saleen only built eight of these cars, and this one carries the #21R serial number. They all started life as new Mustangs from Ford dealers but were immediately stripped and prepped to go racing. Beyond obvious mods like a roll cage, they featured eight-inch wide wheels in front, an inch of additional track width, stiffer suspension bushings and much more.
NHTSA closes Ford F-150 EcoBoost acceleration probe
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Typically when we report on the findings of an investigation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it's because the government body has discovered a safety issue and prescribed a recall. In this case, however, NHTSA has closed an investigation into a reported performance deficit without ever getting to the recall stage.
The issue revolves around the Ford F-150 - specifically those equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine - of which some 360,000 were built in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 model years. After receiving an initial 95 complaints, NHTSA opened an investigation last May - almost a year ago - into the reported issue of reduced engine power under hard acceleration. The agency has since received a total of 525 such complaints, and Ford itself reported receiving over 4,000.
Together, NHTSA and Ford determined that the problem resulted from cylinders misfiring, an issue itself stemming from water getting into the charge air cooler (CAC) mated to the turbochargers. In particularly humid or rainy conditions, water was found to get into the CAC, causing some of the cylinders to misfire, which in turn triggered the ECU to disable those cylinders in order to protect the catalytic converter from damage.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
