Ford Taurus Sho V8 on 2040-cars
Topeka, Kansas, United States
This car has had a lot of work done to it. When I bought the car it suffered the fate of most of the third gen SHO. It had spun the cam gear and bent the valves. When I purchased it I welded the cams and had the entire top end rebuilt. It has all new valves, valve guides, valves seals, headgaskets, headbolts, intake gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets, valve cover gaskets, thermostat, oil pressure sending unit and serpentine belt. Within the last six months I have replaced all four tires, brakes front and back, the mass airflow sensor and the idle air control valve. I have had the cats hollowed out so the check engine light is on. I do have six extra coils for the car. The ones that are on it have been shorting out. I have been replacing them as they short. It has aftermarket 17" wheels. It has the original 5 disk cd changer. The person I bought it from had wedged cds inside and I never used it so I don't know if it works. The exterior is average for this old of a car. There are quite a few small scratches. There are a few spots of clear coat peeling and a few door dings. The interior is fairly nice the only issues are a crack in the driver seat and a cut in the passenger rear seat. The interior is all leather. There are some stains on the carpet that I never tried to get out. It has a working sunroof. The dashpad is also pulling up like all of the taurus dashes did. It is not perfect but it is not completely destroyed either. I have over $3500 in rebuilding the motor and putting brakes and tires on this car. It is rare to find one running. If you have any questions please message me. It is for sale locally also. If you are near Topeka, KS we can arrange a time for you to look at it. Buyer will have to arrange for shipping. It drives fine but will try to stall as the coils short. I just don't have the time to replace them.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost
Fri, 09 May 2014I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.
2014 Ford F-150 Tremor adds some sport to shake things up
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Like most quakes, the 2014 Ford F-150 Tremor caught us by surprise. We weren't expecting Ford to offer up another version of its best-seller so soon before the truck's full redesign, but that's exactly what the company is doing.
While Ford calls the Tremor a "performance truck," the new pickup doesn't play on the same level as the SVT Raptor does on dirt, or even the long-gone SVT Lightning did on pavement. Think of it as a parts bin sport truck that probably does a better job looking the part than acting it. The Tremor utilizes the same twin-turbo, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 available across the F-150 lineup, producing 365 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, but matches it with a 4.10 rear axle - the shortest final drive ratio you can get in an F-150 - for the strongest possible acceleration.
The Tremor does do a decent job looking the part. Available only in short-wheelbase, regular cab configuration with your choice of two- or four-wheel drive, it struts around wearing the F-150's FX Appearance Package, flat black accents, 20-inch black wheels, HID headlights and a special exterior graphics package. The Tremor is the only regular cab F-150 with a flow-through center console, which means it also gets a floor-mounted shifter and bucket seats that are covered in black leather with red piping. Some brushed metal accents and steering wheel with red stitching round out the interior upgrades.
Ford blamed in drug mule lawsuit
Tue, 30 Jul 2013If a college student is caught smuggling drugs across the border, one might think the kid got what was coming to him. But when a Mexican student at the University of Texas in El Paso was caught by Border Patrol agents with duffel bags filled with marijuana in his trunk, the man used a classic excuse: He claimed they weren't his.
While a claim like that is almost unbelievable, Ricardo Magallanes, the student, is now suing Ford for handling its vehicles' key codes negligently enough to allow drug smugglers to break into his Ford Focus and stash the drugs, The Daily Caller reports. The twist here is that four other people who lived in Juarez and worked in El Paso were involved in the same type of scheme - allegedly unwittingly, just like Magallanes - and all the cars were Fords except one model from General Motors. FBI agents also found an employee at a Dallas Ford dealership that had accessed the key codes to all four of the cannabis-stuffed Fords.
While we all may not own Fords, the case still causes us slight paranoia. We'll definitely be checking our trunks before we cross any more international borders.
