08 Ranger XL 2.3L DOHC engine w/ Automatic  OD transmission that's been tweeked a bit.

Runs & drives great!  safe & dependable transportation.  Uses regular gas.

The mileage will increase until sold.  -    Mileage quoted is as of 8-4-2013. 

 

 

I bought this when I owned a 08 Mini Cooper  S model that needed many repairs off & on.  This was my alt. transportation while getting it repaired. I sold the MINI and bought something new so this is now sitting most of the time and that's a shame since it drives so well.

 

I bought it at 293K  in January of this year, and removed the engine & transmission after having it a short while.  Both worked but the engine was really worn and I wanted a truck you could drive anywhere.  In March I bought a 07 Engine w/50K from N. Carolina, and a Transmission w/Torque Converter from LKQ in Ontario that came out of a 09 Ranger with 29k.  The Ranger engine runs & drives like it has only 50K on it at best, it's smooth shifting trans indicate the seller told me the truth.  No leaks, overheating, or slipping from the trans, just good performance.   New Plugs, coolant & 3 oil changes to date just to flush the engine well, not knowing it's total history.  I used High detergent oil for 500 miles (that now becomes chain saw lube), semi synthetic for 2,000 miles, and currently, fully synthetic motor oil.  The oil looks & smells new, it will always be good for 5000 + miles between changes, with good synthetic oil.

 

New Goodyear Wrangler Radial tires & new Cragar wheels with Chrome Center Caps &  with all new TPMS clamps & sensors installed & working perfectly.  04/2013

 

Front brakes replaced last weekend 07/2013:  Ceramic pads w/ drilled rotors-all new, bearings lubed with Mobil 1 synthetic grease, inside & out.

 

New windshield, wiper arms & wiper blades:)  04/2013  (it had a minor crack above the mirror & I replaced it to get full coverage insurance)

 

The front end parts appear fairly new, there was a history of minor impact & I suppose they had to replace the front end components & lights. 

 

Re-cycled Gentex  Auto-Dim rear view mirror installed:)  04/2103

 

HID headlamps 6000K

 

New OEM plugs & Wireset as well as a new Ign. Coil, TPS, and MAF sensor.  05/2013

 

New power window units:) 03/2013

Power door lock cylinders:) 03/2013

 

Remote Start, "THOR" 2 Way FM 3000 meter Keyless Entry/Alarm system:) Installed  04/2013      I've walked blocks from my car and started it using this exact same system-it's really long range.  If someone messes with your truck, it can trigger the alarm on the truck, or, just notify you through the remote so that you can catch them in the act.   It really works well.  Has various settings including auto start in extremely cold weather.

 

New fuel pump assembly installed 05/2013.

New Battery, 01/2013

 

I suggest you come and see it before buying or bidding just to satisfy your own curiosity.  I think it's a heck of a truck at the starting price, and I know I've spent more than that price, in getting it into this good of shape.

 

The pictures were taken today, without much prep, I will clean it up some before letting anyone pick it up and drive it home.  If you want it shipped, you do the work and I'll work with your shipping agent to be available as needed.

 

Good luck,  send questions if you have any and I'll respond ASAP.

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).

Mulally to stay at Ford through end of 2014 at least

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

Alan Mulally isn't going anywhere... at least not just yet. The CEO who helped turn around Ford Motor Company has been linked to the top job at tech behemoth Microsoft, leading to a flurry of rumors about potential successors. Those rumors, though, may have just been put to rest - at least for a little while.
Speaking to Edsel Ford II (great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford) at the unveiling of the new Mustang, Automotive News Europe confirmed that Mulally would stick around until the end of next year. "Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that's all I know," said Ford. "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014."
Presuming that Edsel Ford is correct and that Microsoft isn't so hot on Mulally that it saves the position for him, it seems increasingly likely that the 68-year-old exec is more interested in continuing to work in Dearborn rather than in Redmond.

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
