1988 Ford Econoline E150 Club Wagon.

This 1988 Ford Club Wagon was aquired around 6 years ago. When I received (Big Blue) she had a nasty exhaust leak coming from the smog pump injectors. I had the injectors removed and the openings brazed shut, the smog pump was removed, the insides of the pump were removed, the pump housing was remounted and now acts as an idler pulley.

This is my 2nd Ford Van with the inline six cylinder motor. These motors are bullet proof. My first Ford Van was a 1993 cargo van. I purchased it with 185,000 miles on it, I drove it daily to 350,000 miles and sold it in still good running condition. The reason I sold the 1993 was because the 1988 Ford Van that I am now selling was ready to become my new daily driver.

I put a rear locking differential on this van because I drive some pretty serious hills in the winter. I mounted studded tires in the rear and she claws her way thru the snow like nobody's business. The van originally came from Maryland, she had very little rust when I got her, she spent the next 5 years in a covered garage just sitting, waiting to be put into the lineup. The first winter she saw with salt was this past winter, I had the undercarriage sprayed using Carwell in Buffalo. Carwell is a GREAT product, they spray all the local school busses, FedEx & UPS trucks, they also spray military vehicles to protect them from rusting.

I drove this van to Idaho and back last summer 2012. She never missed a beat until the return trip in Indiana. I had to replace the fuel pump on the frame rail. I replaced it and the fuel filter and she was back on the road in no time. She purrs like a kitten every day, never misses a start, one quick turn of the key and she is ready to roll.

This van is a great daily driving van, the only reason I am selling it is because I bought another Ford Van.

I equipped "Big Blue" with Bilstein Shock absorbers at all four corners, Bilstein shocks for these vans cost $100.00 per shock, they are worth it, they provide a very predictable, comfortable, safe ride. I also installed a K&N rechargeable air filter.

I am selling this van with all the tires and rims I have for it. You'll get 4 Mastercraft Courser A/T 235/75/15 tires, 2 MasterCraft Courser A/T 205/75/15 Studded Tires, 1 Michelin LTX 235/75/15 Tire. 5 stock Ford steel rims 15"X6.5", 2 black wagon wheel rims 15"X6.5", 2 black wagon wheel rims 15"X8". I run the black wagon wheels in the summer with 4 Kumho Road Venture 235/75/15 tires. That is a total of 11 tires with 9 rims... plus 5 genuine Ford Econoline series hub caps.

This van has two high back captains chairs with armrest's up front, there are 2 bench seats in back, I am also including 2 low back bucket seats which were originally up front.

This van makes a great camping vehicle as I used it on my trip out west last summer, it also is a great work van when you remove the bench seats. This is truly a Multi Purpose Vehicle.

Gas mileage is 15MPG in the city 17-18MPG on the highway. She'll cruise all day long at 65-70 mph, uphills she'll get down to 55mph, steep uphills 45 mph, downhills 75-80 mph, I don't push her harder than that.

I use full synthetic motor oil 5w-30 wt. Penzoil Ultra with a K&N filter. I also have a FilterMag attached to the oil filter for added protection. I have put alot of expense into getting this van road worthy, it was a labor of love that somebody else can now enjoy.

I installed a new JVC KDX40 head unit last summer along with 4 new Polk Audio speakers, the system sounds great!

These motors run forever, the transmission had a shift kit installed before I got the van, all shifts are firm and authoritive, no slip, no slop.

I had new front springs installed last fall, the old ones were sagging a bit, these really tightened the front end up nicely, if I was keeping the van I would have the camber adjusted, it's a bit positive with the new springs.

I installed all new brakes and replaced some worn brake lines last summer, I also repacked the wheel bearings at that time.

The van burns no oil, drips no fluids.

She's not a barn burner, however, she'll get you there safely and in comfort.

Any questions feel free to call me, this van is for sale locally, so bidding can end at any time.

Use the "buy it now" button before someone else does and get her home!

Ford and GM link bonus checks to quality scores

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

The poor first quarter earnings of Ford and General Motors are having an effect all the way up the food chain. Both automakers struggled with recalls in the first three months of the year, and, according to The Detroit News, they have responded by increasing the percentage of bonuses tied to vehicle quality for salaried workers, including top executives.
GM announced that 25 percent of bonuses (up from 10 percent) for all salaried workers would be tied to its vehicle quality standards. The automaker revealed in its financial report that it spent $1.3 billion on recall-related repairs in the first quarter, and net income was down 86 percent.
Ford also increased the quality proportion of bonuses for about 26,000 salaried workers all the way up to CEO Alan Mulally from 10 percent to 20 percent. The company announced in its report that the amount paid out in warranty and recall claims was about $400 million higher than expected in the first quarter. Its net income fell 39 percent from the previous year. "The change reflects how critical quality is to our overall business," said spokesperson Todd Nissen speaking to Autoblog.

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.

Weekly Recap: Marchionne's Manifesto again calls for industry consolidation

Sat, May 2 2015

Sergio Marchionne isn't taking no for an answer. Despite public rebuffs from General Motors and Ford, the leader of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles continues to push for consolidation within the auto industry. His latest assertion came Wednesday when he said a combination of FCA with another automaker could net savings of $5 billion or more annually. No, this isn't about selling his company, he claimed, it's about cutting costs. Put simply, the auto industry wastes money, Marchionne said during FCA's earnings conference call. Companies invest billions to develop basic components that all cars use, but many consumers don't care how they work or recognize the differences. "About half of this is really relevant in terms of positioning the car in the marketplace," he said. "The other half, in our view, is stuff which is neither visible to the consumer nor is it relevant to the consumer." In 2014, top automakers spent more than $100 million on product development, FCA estimated. Marchionne said consolidation could save up to $1 billion on powertrains alone, noting that almost every automaker offers four- and six-cylinder engines. Not everyone has to make their own, he contended. "The consumer could not give a flying leap whose engines we are using because they are irrelevant to the buying decision." That's pretty provocative for enthusiasts, but less so for average consumers. Still, there are major differences in power and efficiency ratings, even among similar engines. Skeptics could argue consolidation would also weaken competition and reduce choices for car buyers. Marchionne stressed his presentation, curiously entitled Confessions of a Capital Junkie, wouldn't require closing factories or dealerships. It's not his final "big deal" as CEO, intent to sell FCA, or a way to elevate his company up the automotive food chain. He claims he wants to fundamentally change the industry and its habit for burning cash. "The horrible part about this, and the thing that I find most offensive, is that the capital consumption rate is duplicative," he said. "It doesn't deliver real value to the consumer and it is in its purest form, economic waste."
