2001 Ford Ranger Edge Extended Cab Pickup 2-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Houma, Louisiana, United States
|
This is a 2001 Ford Ranger. I have had the truck for about two and a half years and it has given me no issues. My children used the truck for school transportation, making short trips daily. I have done only standard maintenance, oil change every 5,000 miles, and kept the operating fluids in check and recently had the break pads changed on the front. The front end squeaks some but I have no alignment issues. The truck is equipped with a 4.0 V6 fuel injected engine and runs great! There is an aftermarket K&N intake and performance injector kit installed. This was installed prior to my ownership. This truck is fast and has lots of power. One issue with the engine, there seems to be a valve cover leak on the driver side and after it has been running you can smell oil. However,I change the oil every 5,000 miles and have not noticed any loss of oil. The driver seat is torn and the cruse control button covers need to be replaced, the curse still works. The truck has A/C that is cold and works great (I have not charged or had any work done to the A/C). It also features Alloy rims, an App radio, that will Bluetooth to your phone and can be upgrade to a GPS, satellite radio, and hands free calling thru your iPhone. The truck has a large cab with two bucket seats and two fold down jump seats all in good shape. Bead liner, full size spare, jack and tools and is equipped with a receiver hitch for towing. The tires look to be in fair shape and still have a good amount of life left. This is a 2wd with an automatic transmission. The transmission shows no sign of slippage and shifts smoothly. To my knowledge the truck has not been in an accident.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Ford F-100 'Snakebit' shown off by Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford, along with KISS bassist Gene Simmons and his wife, Shannon Tweed, used SEMA as a backdrop to pull the covers off Snakebit, a 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck that's been updated with Shelby Mustang-derived styling bits and a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine. All 550 horsepower are funneled through a six-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels.
Underneath the custom bodywork sits a chassis that's been stretched five inches and a bed widened and bedecked with billet machined pieces that are supposed to look like wood. The 20-inch rear and 18-inch front wheels ape those of past Shelby Mustang models. The interior is swathed in two-tone leather with a bench seat designed to look - try to act surprised - like a Shelby Mustang.
Like what you see? Bidding for the truck will take place in 2014 at an unspecified Barrett-Jackson event (we'd assume Scottsdale). Proceeds will be used to help build a children's hospital in Saskatoon, in the province of Saskatchewan, where Ms. Tweed grew up. See the high-res gallery above and the press release down below for more.
Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]
Mon, 08 Jul 2013It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.
