Here is a 1993 Ford Ranger Sport 4x4 Turbocharged 5 speed, the motor is out of a 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbocoupe and has the LA3 ECU and "big vam" and 35lbs injectors. The transmission and transfer case are the 3.0 liter set up adapted to fit the 2.3 turbo. It does not burn or leak engine oil or transmission fluid. All the stock gauges work fine. This truck is a great truck that has many upgrades like: front mount intercooler, roller cam, 3" exhaust front to back, new clutch, HID headlights, Audi blow off valve, tow hitch, and more I am probably forgetting.


The truck features manual door locks and windows, (stock) AM/FM stereo, power steering, opening rear window, push button 4x4, cloth interior, vinyl floor (hose out floor).

The truck runs and drives great and is currently set to about 12psi boost, it has a slight tendency to overboost under the hardest acceleration. It may be a bad waste gate actuator diaphragm. The seats are a bit dirty and could use a shampoo, There is a power steering leak in the steering box at the pitman arm seal. One of the rear tires looses are about 3-5psi per week. There is no rear view mirror. The check engine light comes on periodically because the EGR has been deleted. As far as the body, I would give a 6 out of 10 mostly because the tail gate is beat up a little, and there is a couple of deep scratches, there are no significant dents or gashes. The front bumper has some rust spots. There is an area of the bed on the drivers side that has some paint fading showing the original 90's looking graphics that have been removed (buff out maybe???)

Overall this is a great little truck that will more than get out of its own way. The brakes are new and stop on a dime. The push button 4x4 is amazing for whatever you need to drive in. Everything is smooth and undramatic, this truck could and has easily been a daily driver but could also be an ultra nice truck with a little buffing and polishing and maybe some paint work. I have owned this truck for 2 years and it has started on the coldest of winter days and stayed cool on the hottest of summer days, it is a totally reliable vehicle.

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.

Fewest vehicles ever found eligible for Most American survey

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Once again, the most American car on the market is from an American brand. The Ford F-150 retained its number one spot in Cars.com's annual survey of the most American vehicles, trumping the Toyota Camry, which remains at number two.
Ford taking the top spot is small consolation, though, as the Detroit Three aren't too well represented here. General Motors scored a win at number seven, with the Chevrolet Corvette, while Chrysler squeaked in at number ten, with the Dodge Viper. Outside of those three vehicles, Toyota and Honda dominate the top ten.
What's most remarkable, though, is that there were so few cars available for this year's list.

Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
