I'll start this listing by saying I really hate to part with this car.  It is fun to drive and will go through any weather.  It also holds all my family with their friends as it seats 8.

I'll start out with the bad things which will explain why I'm selling it.
Here is what you'll need if you intend to put it back on the road.
1. It failed inspection because of a rusted EGR pipe that is leaking exhaust under the hood.  That pipe and nut are not terribly expensive but from what I'm told the labor can be like opening a can of worms.  Could take a couple hours or an entire day to replace.  I don't have the time or specific knowledge to dig into it myself.
2. The rocker panel on the passenger's side is shot.  See close-up photo.  I have a repair panel I will include with the truck.
3. I has an oil leak which I think could be a head gasket.  I guess this is common on the 4.6.  It shows no signs of oil in the anti-freeze or vice-versa.  You can go for miles without any signs and then out of the blue it will smoke a little and you'll smell oil.  Not sure how this affects inspection though.
4. Inspection guy says it needs a mufflers and tailpipe.  This was news to me.
5. I broke a brake line the last time I plowed with it.  It was on the RH front and I just haven't looked to see exactly what broke.  Could be a hose.
Now the nit-picky crap.
1. The front heat and AC don't work but the rear works awesome.  I'm guessing it's a diverter valve under the dash.
2. You will need a new battery.  No question.
3. The rear wiper arm is stripped out but the motor seems to be fine.
4. The driver's outside mirror cracked while sitting this past Winter.  No idea why.
5. Inner CV boot ripped on front axle.  One front U-Joint is a little loose and may need replacing in the near future.
6. Front pinion seal has small leak.
7. Trans tailshaft seal has a small leak.
8. There is a vibration in the front end at higher speeds only on acceleration.  I originally thought it had something to do with the activation of the AWD related to a solenoid, ABS sensor or something but, honestly, I really don't know.  The ABS light is not on.
Now the good stuff.
1. Just had $494.00 worth of work done on it when he was nice enough to tell me it failed inspection.  Wish he had inspected it before the work.
2. About $700.00 worth of new General Grabber HTS tires.  2 front tires literally have less than 100 miles.  The other 2 have about 5000 miles.  Tire photos are of a front and a rear.  These are 265/70R17's
3. Interior is practically flawless.  Unheard of condition for a car with this many miles.  Leather seats with 3rd row seating.  Capacity for 8 passengers.
4. Last time I looked, the rear frame crossmember was in good shape.  This is usually a common problem area for these cars.
5. Premium AM/FM Ford radio with 6-disc CD changer in console.
6. Part of recent work was a 4-wheel alignment.
This vehicle cannot be driven away without fixing the brake line and bleeding the brakes.  Bring a trailer to tow away.  I'm NOT delivering it anywhere.  You are responsible for arranging transportation.

MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms

Mon, 17 Jun 2013

Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.

Ford posts record pre-tax Q3 profit of $2.6B

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

Ford took in $2.6 billion in pre-tax profits in the third quarter of the year, making for a record trio of months that saw the Blue Oval's year-over-year earnings increase by $426 million. The earnings are being attributed not just to improvements in North American sales, but sales around the globe.
Revenue was up 12 percent, to $36 billion, although net income took a hit, dropping $359 million to $1.3 billion. Ford was dinged with $498 million in pre-tax charges, which are being blamed for the drop in net income.
The news has boosted Ford's hopes for full-year results, bumping it's total profits up past $8 billion, according to Automotive News. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer is still expecting a loss in Europe, although it's forecasted less than the $1.73 billion it burned in 2012. In fact, according to CFO Bob Shanks, Ford's European losses dropped by 51 percent year-over year, a huge improvement for the brand.
