Up for sale is my own personal daily driver hot rod pickup. This is a 1990 Ford Ranger that is in remarkable condition. The story goes that the man I bought it from was the original owner, and was an aircraft engineer of some type. His daughter wrecked her 1992 5.0 Mustang, and he ended up putting the drive train from the mustang in the Ranger. This is NO HACK JOB. It looks like it was installed from Ford, it just seems like it should have been that way all along. Everything works- the AC, the cruise control, indicator lights, gauges measure correctly, everything. This man simply knew what he was doing and made it work. He drove the truck for a while, and decided that he liked it so well that in 1997 he bought a crate 5.0 from Ford, removed the 1992 motor and installed the crate engine. The AOD (Automatic Overdrive transmission) was rebuilt at this time. The odometer was reset to zero. It's had nothing but Mobile 1 from the time of the install. It now has a little over 103K on it, and it runs and drives perfectly. This is a nice truck. It looks great, gets lots of attention, sounds terrific (headers and flowmasters) and is a total blast to drive. It's plenty quick, the suspension has been beefed up a bit so it handles the weight nicely. It's just a great driving little rig. The interior is just flat as perfect as you'd ever find on a truck of this age. It looks near perfect. The paint is very nice, and shines well as you can see. Under the hood is well laid out, no hacked up anything. Wheels are off the Mustang, and are 16x8. Tires are decent, but not new. This truck is light, and this motor is strong, so it's quick. It has a tow hitch as shown in the photos. The brakes were just recently rebuilt and the normal maintenance stuff has been done in the last couple of months. I drive this truck all the time, its a lot of fun. The bed has a spray in bedliner, the truck has a nice wine tinted pinstripe with 5.0 badges from the Mustang. Very classy, well laid out, professional, well built. Totally reliable, no issues with the exception that the driver's door glass does not roll up and down as well as it should, and I just have not made the time to take the door apart to determine what's up with that. It stays in the track, its just hard to roll up and down. |

2015 Mustang-based Saleen S302 to boast as much as 640 hp
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The Ford Mustang is obviously a famous performance vehicle in its own right, but it often works even better as a platform for the aftermarket to upgrade. With the all-new 2015 model just now hitting the scene, the famous tuners at Saleen are getting their improvements for the new pony car ready for the world. After recently teasing it, the specs for its fresh S302 model are officially here, along with a first look at it in profile.
Of course, the biggest question on everyone's mind is how much power the company can get from the Mustang's V8. With the 2015 V8 model rated at 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet, Saleen expects to bump the Ford factory numbers slightly to 450 hp and 410 lb-ft in naturally aspirated form, or with the benefit of a supercharger, it will rocket the engine's output figures to 640 hp and 565 lb-ft. No matter which powerplant a buyer chooses, there are a wide variety of available final-drive ratios with a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
Available as either a coupe or convertible forms, Saleen will offer its S302 in three trim levels - White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label. The White Label is the only naturally aspirated one of the bunch, but it still benefits from upgrades like a new exhaust, limited-slip differential, improved suspension, heat extractor hood and rear wing.
NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected
Thu, 29 May 2014Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."
