We purchased this truck from an estate with a couple of other vehicles, it came to us with the engine removed and in a crate in the bed. The engine appears to have been professionally rebuilt, it was tagged primed/break in oil . ARP stainless fasteners were used to put everything back together, the balance of the bolts for the alternator and other accessories were in the ARP box in the crate with the engine, Looking through the penetration in the timing cover one could see what appeared to be a double roller timing chain covered in white assembly lube. Upon further inspection of the engine and deciding that it was worth installing we removed the transmission and had it rebuilt, The transmission rebuild included a heavy duty clutch pack, torque convertor, valve body, and a shift kit - the transmission is suitable for heavy towing or a heavy foot! To compliment the newly installed pair the following parts were installed new as well; Super Cooler Radiator, upper and lower radiator hoses, heater hoses, alt ps and ac belts, a/c belt idler bearing and tensioner bearing, mechanical fuel pump, Motorcraft/Holley carburetor, fuel lines, alternator, distributor, cap, rotor, spark plug wires, 195 degree thermostat, oil and water temp sending units, PCV valve, starter, flexplate, vacuum lines, three universal joints and carrier bearing along with balancing the driveline, new dual exhaust from the manifolds to the chrome tips with a crossover tube - nice sounding low rumble, not obnoxious. It appears that the previous owner spent quite a bit of time cleaning and detailing the engine compartment, when we reinstalled the engine all of the brackets were media blasted and painted to match the rest of the meticulous work that had been completed under the hood and to the frame in the engine compartment area. I think that we finished it the way it was intended to be. The air conditioner works great, blows very cold. This truck runs out very well, the engine is smooth, quiet, and very powerful.

2015 Ford Mustang invades SEMA, led by King Cobra

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Ford showcased more than a dozen customized 2015 Mustangs at its sprawling 20,000-square foot display this week at the Las Vegas Convention Center as the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary celebration continued at the SEMA Show.
While Mustangs are always a hot commodity at SEMA, the new generation brought increased attention from the aftermarket, as builders like Galpin Auto Sports, Richard Petty's Garage and Vaughn Gittin Jr. offered their takes on the new 'Stang.
The extensive display included a range of Mustangs from mild to wild, with everything from a 600-plus horsepower King Cobra pictured at the top, to paint-and-wheel packages. The new regal Cobra, which we spied early in our SEMA adventure this year, may not be the replacement for the Cobra Jet as we speculated, but it does seem to point the way forward for the next iteration of a supreme Ford dragster. Fat drag slicks out back make it's reason for being abundantly clear, and for tells us that modded car is good for a 10.97-second quarter-mile run.

Tanner Foust gets eponymous hotted-up Ford Focus ST from Cobb Tuning

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

Racer and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust has partnered up with Cobb Tuning to create a special-edition Ford Focus ST. The limited-edition hatches will come packing a reflashed ECU, special intercooler, tweaked intake and freer-flowing exhaust for up to 20 percent more power than the stock creation. Cobb says that the changes should push the final dyno figure to above 300 horsepower. Buyers can also expect to find special carbon fiber aerodynamic bits on board along with a new grille, graphics and wheels. Cobb hasn't released pricing on this Tanner Foust Edition Ford Focus ST as of yet, but you can bet the whole kit won't be cheap.
Fortunately, the company will sell you bits and pieces from the overall package for your Ford, and word has it engineers are also whipping up a Foust Fiesta ST. Look for Cobb's Focus ST website to go live next month, complete with accurate specs and pricing. Until then, enjoy clicking through the gallery here.

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
