Up for sale is my 1994 Ford truck. I really love this truck but I have a newer 7.3 so this one may go if the price is right. I have used this as a hobby truck. I purchased this truck in 2008 with 145,xxx miles and it now has 179,xxx miles. The miles may change as it is still occasionally driven. For a truck 20 years old I think the paint looks pretty good with light rust; certainly no rust through on the body panels although the paint could use some additional care such as rubbing compound or high speed buffing to improve the brightness. It is 4-wheel drive and it does work. I have done several repairs through the years which I will list below:

-Rebuilt transmission and a new transmission cooler at 149,xxx miles.

-New alternator approx. three years ago.

-New tires last year. Mastercraft with light wear.

-New front brake rotors last year and Wagner pads all the way around.

-New fuel sending unit last year.

-New Monroe Gas Magnum shocks installed last year.

-Changed the oil approx. every 3,000 miles.

The truck is not perfect so I will try to go into some other details. The interior carpet is soiled and stained in some areas and the seats might have some light stains on them. There are a couple of dents on it which I tried to capture in the pictures. The worst body defect is the rear driver fender where my young daughter jack knifed my utility trailer years ago which also slightly bent the bumper. There is a crack in the passenger side on the front window. The window motors probably need replaced since the windows no longer works but the air conditioner does work! The weather stripping on the bottom of the windows on the door need to be replaced. The motor does has at least one oil leak which is not uncommon for these motors. The truck does idle a little rough when first started and it does smoke a little at first; it has done this the entire time I owned it. The wheels may need to be aligned or it may have some where in the front steering system...not sure.

Hopefully I didn't scare you off but I am more straight forward than alot of people I dealt with. This is still a good truck in my opinion and I won't let it go if too low on the price. Local pickup is preferred but if you want to have it shipped that would be your responsibility to handle all of the details. No warranty and sold as is. A $500 deposit is to be paid by Paypal at the end of the listing and the remainder of the balance is to be paid by Paypal or in person with cash within 5 days. The deposit will not be refundable if the buyer changes his/her mind. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me. Thanks for looking.

Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.

Ford and Mercedes join Renault in French emissions investigation

Thu, Jan 21 2016

The French government is investigating certain models from Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault because they allegedly produce more nitrogen oxide than the country's pollution rules allow, according to Automotive News, citing a French newspaper. After VW's emissions scandal, French regulators began checking more vehicles for evidence of defeat devices and excessive real-world pollution. According to Automotive News, the Mercedes S350 allegedly showed inconsistent results across these tests, and a Ford C-Max had NOx levels five times over the limit. The Renault Captur crossover, Espace, and an unnamed utility vehicle also had results that were too high. The French testing for this investigation includes an on-road emissions check that's not part of the EU's normal evaluations, which some automakers claim is unfair. "Unofficial on-road testing has varying conditions and can produce significantly different results," a Ford of Europe spokesman told Automotive News. Renault representatives met with French officials on January 18 to explain the situation. The company later submitted a plan to recall 15,800 examples of the diesel Captur, and said it would offer a voluntary software upgrade for about 700,000 other vehicles, according to Automotive News. Representatives from Ford and Mercedes will meet with the government soon, too. Renault's stock price plunged last week after investors heard that French regulators searched three of the automaker's sites as part of the emissions investigation. The stockholders feared an environmental scandal like the one currently embroiling Volkswagen. There's one major difference – as of now, there's no evidence Renault equipped any of the polluting models with defeat devices. Related Video:

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions

Thu, Aug 27 2015

Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
