This truck was Lowered and Mini Tubbed in the summer of 2011, The rear end is an 8.8 positrac with 3:73 gears and 31 spline Moser axles. The inner wheel wells were moved in 2" and the bed spray lined by Scorpion bed lining. The springs were moved from outside the frame rails to under the rails using Ford Explorer mounts and the frame was C-notched. It has 15x5 front wheels with 155/80R15 B.F. Goodrich tires and the rear has 15X10 with 275/60R15 B.F. Goodrich tires, tires were New in 2011.It has 3" drop beams and New Upper and Lower Ball Joints, also New Inner and Outer Tie Rod ends and Drag link. New shocks and the brakes were replaced completely including New hardware and hoses. I used Timken, Moog, FoMoCo, Raybestos Wagner and Energy Suspension parts to name a few. I didn't use the cheap parts because I had planned to put a 5.0 from a Mustang GT in it for myself to drive. It is an A/C truck. When I bought it had the factory 2.9 V6 with a Koyo 5 Spd. I found a truck with a 2.3 4 Cyl. and a Mazda 5 Spd. that had been wrecked with about 87000 miles on it. I changed everything over everything and those who have looked at it say they couldn't tell the engine wasn't factory. I put a factory Ford 2.3 header on it. and at the time I changed the motor and trans I took the head off and had it checked for cracks I reinstalled the head with New head gasket, Water pump and timing belt and also installed an New Clutch Pressure plate and throw out bearing, pilot bearing. I also changed the plugs, wires and coils at that time. The truck runs and drives very well. Great start on a V8 Ranger or just a toy as it is. I also have some extra parts included, Traction bars, Rear bumper off a Bronco II and a low back 60/40 bench seat also a crack free dash.

The truck shows 98422 on the odometer the motor and trans now have around 100,000 on them.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."

Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.

2014 Holman & Moody 50th Anniversary TdF Ford Mustang

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

If you're a fan of Ford racing history, a Mustang worshiper or even just an avid follower of our yearly SEMA coverage, you may have heard the back story on the Race Red Mustang you see above. Back in 1964, Holman & Moody was tapped by the English Alan Mann Racing Team to race-prep three Mustangs for competition in the incredibly arduous 4,000-mile Tour de France Automobile rally. Competing mainly against Jaguar MkII saloons over 10 days and 17 stages, the H&M Mustangs took the top two places in the Touring class and the first-ever racing win for Ford's pony car.
Though the history of that first Mustang win hasn't been incredibly well known here in the States, the subsequent decades have seen plenty of racy versions of the car come and go. Last year at the SEMA show, we covered the brief debut of this living tribute to that piece of racing lore, the Holman & Moody 50th Anniversary TdF Mustang.
This limited-edition Mustang represents a kind of new venture for H&M, as the legendary racing shop has spent the last few decades earning its keep largely by restoring vintage racing cars. The urge to get back into the world of Ford and Mustang was powerful, however, what with the car's 50th anniversary looming and the current generation of 'Stang just about out the door.
