1949 Ford F-1 Pickup with Clear Virginia Title. The Truck has rust in the Bed and Fenders, but the Cab is very solid and rust free. I am posting pictures of the Cab Floor to show that the Carpet is not hiding any rust issues. The Truck has good Glass. Most of the Glass is new. The Glass in the Passenger Vent Window is cracked. The Window Felts, Seals and Anti-Rattle parts are new. The Doors open and close well. I am posting pictures of the Cab Corners and Door Bottoms to show their condition. The Truck's entire Brake System has been replaced. This includes: Master Cylinder, Wheel Cylinders, Hard Lines and Brake Hoses. The Truck has been converted to 12 Volts. The Starter has been rebuilt, the Generator has been rebuilt and converted to 12 Volts. There are lots of new parts on the Truck including Fuel Pump, Fuel Lines, Fuel Filter, Points, Spark Plugs, Condensor, Cap, Rotor, Motor Mounts and more. The Engine has been started, but still needs a few things. Engine still needs the hard line from the Carburetor to the Distributor Advance, the Linkage between the Firewall Linkage and the Manifold Swivel and the Linkage between the Manifold Swivel and the Carburetor. The Engine starts, but will need these parts and probably more before being a driver. The Truck is wired and will turn over with a turn of the key and a push of the starter button. The Headlights, Tail Lights and Brake Lights are wired. The Seat is stock and old. It looks good, but is not perfect. There is a sheet of plywood in the Bed. There is no Tail Gate. The Rear Bumper is large and probably not an original Ford unit. It was on the Truck when I got it. I do not know where it came from. The Truck has an attractive look and a nice Patina effect. The Wheels are Chrome and in good condition, not mint condition. The Tires are old but look good and hold air. I have not had any issues with them, but you might want to replace them before doing any serious driving. The Truck cannot be driven home, buy I may be able to assist with delivery within a few hundred miles of Canton, Ohio. This Truck is being listed with a low start price and no reserve. It will sell to the highest bidder. Please look closely at the pictures. They are part of the listing. I will try to answer any questions through email.

Ford recalls EcoBoost-powered F-150 and SUVs for brake fluid leak

Wed, Mar 23 2022

Ford is recalling approximately 280,000 trucks and SUVs equipped with its 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine to address a potential brake fluid leak. The recall covers the 2016-2017 Ford F-150, 2016-2017 Ford Expedition and the 2016-2017 Lincoln Navigator. According to Ford's defect report, the issue stems from contamination in the brake fluid causing degradation or damage to the seals in the brake master cylinder, allowing fluid to escape. Ford says that braking performance is not immediately impacted by the leak, and owners may not realize there's a problem until a brake malfunction indicator appears in the cluster, accompanied by a chime. "If the brake fluid in the reservoir is depleted to a predetermined level, the driver will receive an audible chime, message center alert, and red brake warning indicator in the instrument cluster," Ford said in its defect report to NHTSA. "If the driver continues to operate the vehicle, the drive may begin to experience a change in brake pedal travel and feel, and increased pedal effort." "If a loss of brake fluid is substantial enough to reduce brake function to the front wheels, full braking function would remain in the rear wheel circuit. However, reduced brake function in the front wheels can extend stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash," Ford said. The issue can be addressed with a replacement brake master cylinder, which Ford will install free of charge. Ford has already begun notifying dealers and will send notices to customers starting in April. Recalls Ford Lincoln Ownership Safety Truck SUV

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
