The wipers don't work. there is a load on the volt meter when you turn them on but they don't move.

the passenger window is malfunctioning. it requires a push or pull to make it go up or down

the passenger door lock does not function with the lock button

the windshield is cracked, one of the back windows is plexiglas because I was loading up some logs and mis judged the distance

I bent the driver door the wrong way like in Tommy boy so you have to lift it to close it

I was standing on the roof to trim a tree and pinched a wire for the dome light and had to pull the fuse. this in turn means the radio has no power. when it worked it sounded terrible any way.

the paint is toast and there are company decals on the doors.

the tail gate is bent because I slammed 3, 12 foot by 4" x 2.5" bars of 17-4 with a forklift to transport them up the road to be cut

The bumper has a zodiac sticker on it however I have come to the conclusion that they left the boat on the ramp and drove the truck in the ocean because the frame is rusted bad. Not the elegant surface rust, the flaky bad kind.

the tires are old but have tread. there are 3 on the Ford exploder rims and one junkyard rim.  the forth exploder rim is FUBAR. I drove it for two miles with a flat overloaded with concrete.

The brakes are bad, also there was a horrendous set of grooves on the rotors when I replaced the pads. most of the brake lines are new because the old ones exploded. there is a large loop in the line from front to rear and is asking to get snagged on debris.

the engine is original as far as I can tell I routinely overload it and it pulls fine. I have hauled several skids of landscape block from lowes which are said to be 2800# according to the label on them. manual downshift is required if you don't like the smell of burnt brakes. a guard rail will help slow it down if needed. the ford 5.0 had a higher nickel content so they tend to wear less and run strong like bull.

the tranny shifts good. it shifts hard into third if there is not a heavy load on it but its probably the u joints. if it is original its a miracle.

there is a clunk when you step on and let off the gas, im guessing ujoints

I used the bumper hitch to pull rocks and stumps out of the ground with a chain. it is now loose.

the interior is filthy but ill probably vacuum it if there are bids

It passed emmissions !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but is due again, the muffler is new but the pipe after it has fallen off and has a leak up front some where.

The ignition is toast. I ripped it apart because it would shut off in the middle of the road. it turned out to be a connector at the bottom of the assembly which I zip tied. needless to say there is a piece of aluminum you must push to start it. its fully functional down one click for on, push to start. back for acc.

The fuel filters have to be clogged with sediment. when traveling up a hill it will sputter at anything more than idle. after a few seconds it runs ok. on several occasions when driving up a hill I have said out loud to my self that this would be a bad time for it to sputter and it happened with in a few seconds.

both fuel tanks work but the fuel gauge only works on the rear tank.

it leaks a small amount of oil

one of the E-brake cables was ripped off during the flat tire incident

the tailgate was smashed a second time in the opposite direction when the chain slipped off a tree stump

The engine runs better when the check engine light is on. depending on the weather it idles high and low

the temp guage does not work

 

Some of the super large rocks I moved to my parents house by using a set of wood ramps a rope and my brothers F-TREE FIDDY. the rock was chained and the rope fastened to the chain. we then ran it over the roof and onto the tow hook of the other truck. we pulled slow at first and when it was lined up I had him ram it home. the rock made it but the rope dented the roof and ripped the passenger side mirror off.

I would not let any one I care about drive it.

I have set a reserve of what the junk yard would give me if I drive it there. It is 325.00 because ebay take 60 for <2000

If you haven't noticed from the pictures this heap is riddled with dents and scratches

 This is being sold AS IS

Bid with confidence

Automakers' rush on aluminum may result in shortage

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

Aluminum is the new buzzword in the automotive industry. The latest Range Rover and Range Rover Sport both take advantage of the lightweight material to shave huge amounts of body fat (only it's called "aluminium" over there). Audi and Jaguar have been using the stuff for years in their A8 and XJ, respectively, and now, aluminum is going mainstream, arriving on the 2015 Ford F-150.
While we're excited to see aluminum make an impact outside the premium market, its widespread adoption apparently won't come without some problems, notably in terms of supply. "There isn't an automotive manufacturer that makes vehicles in North America that we're not talking to," Tom Boney, of Novelis, the largest global supplier of aluminum sheetmetal, told The Detroit News.
According to Boney, Ford's use of aluminum on such a large scale has forced auto manufacturers in "every boardroom" to reconsider their plans following the F-150's unveiling, for one simple reason: there's not exactly enough aluminum to go around, at least in the short term. The auto industry presently only accounts for six percent of the aluminum sheet produced, but as the material is adopted by more and more brands, that figure is expected to swell to 25 percent within the next six years.

How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
