Up for sale is a 1973 ford f-250 crew cab 4x4 short bed. it is a project truck but alot of the hard work has been done, just installed a 390 with a c-6 automatic transmission, brand new mufflers but will need the rest of the exhaust re-done on it, the old pipes do not line up like they should. has a 2 inch body lift and the rest suspension lift. 36x12.50x16.5 tires and rims on it still have a lot of life left in them. I installed new carpet but it's not the carpet that is stock for that truck, I custom cut it in to fit. It has a newer Ford truck bench seat that i was going to just find another one to match out of an 1987 ford truck, do have the original back bench as well. I painted the dash and interior of the truck minus the interior roof, i have the headliners for the truck that i took out to have covered but never got around to it but they would go with the truck. I do have the air conditioning unit that will go with the truck. We installed power steering on the truck that we trimmed in and works great and looks like its supposed to be there. The exterior is in decent shape considering these old trucks are generally rotted, there is some bondo cracking out over the rear wheel wells and some rust breaking through on the doors, but the doors can be saved easy enough. There is some through rust above the drip rail of the drivers side roof that would need to be patched but other than that the rest of the truck is in pretty good condition, But again it is a project so not perfect by any means. the truck does run and drive but the trans needs the kick down linkage hooked up and the shifting linkage adjusted which i will get done if i can get to it. really hate to sell but i am up to 4 projects and cant keep up with them all. Awesome start to an awesome truck! Feel free to email me for any questions and i will get back to you as quickly as possible, thanks, John.

Time to catch up with Jay Leno's Garage, including his Lamborghini Espada restoration

Tue, Dec 23 2014

If you're already jealous of the time, effort and money that Jay Leno can devote to his massive car collection, prepare to get a little greener with envy with this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. Instead of the usual format of discussing a model for about ten minutes and then taking it out for a test drive, this week Leno gives viewers on a tour of over a dozen projects concurrently happening in his stable. The breadth of the vehicles shown and the things being done to them run the entire span of the automotive hobby. At the same time, Jay's shop is working on just a simple restoration of his 1969 Lamborghini Espada (pictured), and at the other side of the building, the team is rebuilding a wood-bodied 1914 Detroit Electric from scratch. He eventually plans to slot a more modern electric drivetrain into it. If bikes are more your interest, there's a freshly completed Brough Superior just waiting for a ride, and if American models are your thing, a Ford Bronco is getting a Coyote V8 installed into it. You have some very specific tastes if you can't watch this clip and start wishing at least one of these vehicles could be in your own garage. Other than the personal projects his mechanics are working on in the shop, Jay gets to have them all, plus plenty more.

Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."

Ford reveals automated Fusion Hybrid

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Autonomous cars may still be in their infancy, but more and more big names in the auto industry are diving in head first. Nissan is already making strides with a semi-autonomous Leaf EV and General Motors is planning to offer semi-autonomous tech by 2020. And then there's Google, doing its thing with a fleet of Toyota Prius. Now, Ford is showing off its latest automated effort, a driverless Fusion Hybrid.
Partnering with the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and State Farm Insurance, the project is part of Ford's Blueprint for Mobility, the company's plan for transportation beyond 2025. "The Ford Fusion Hybrid automated vehicle represents a vital step toward our vision for the future of mobility," Chairman Bill Ford said. "We see a future of connected cars that communicate with each other and the world around them to make driving safer, ease traffic congestion and sustain the environment."
The automated Fusion features four LiDAR infrared sensors that scan the road 2.5 million times every second, using a principle similar to the echolocation used by dolphins or bats. Using the infrared light emitted by the LiDAR, the car can draw a picture of everything within 200 feet to create a map of its surroundings. According to Ford, the sensors are able to tell the difference between a paper bag and a small animal from a football field away.
