Additional Equipment: Global West caster/camber adjusters. Factory-installed mounts are non-adjustable, usually 0°-1° caster, and 0° camber, resulting in “wander” at speed, and “plow” while cornering. The adjusters allow for more positive caster, and negative camber, which greatly improves handling. Fan has manual override switch, to prevent overheating or A/C problem in summer, bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Recent Maintenance:

Engine rear main oil seal, clutch release bearing, rear transmission seal; cable “dumbbell” clutch linkage connector; timing belt (Gatorback) and tensioner; MSD 8.5 plug wires and boots; all engine and related hoses; reman rack & pinion 1.5 ratio steering; 24FX battery w/960 CA and stainless hold-down (original style battery no longer available); Front wheel bearings and seals

Past Maintenance:

New A/C compressor, dryer, custom hose with fixed orifice tube; ignition TFI module, stator, and coil; new water pump; both universal joints; rear axles, bearings and seals (vehicle has C-clip axles, which must be replaced with new bearings); brake master cylinder, calipers and rear cylinders, all flexible lines.

I am the original owner, and have done all of the maintenance and repair myself, with the exception of the A/C vacuum test and initial charge, and the wheel alignment.

Interior:

Front seats are like new - have always been covered with terry cloth covers. All upholstery and plastic trim are perfect, with the exception of the plastic door armrest supports, which are broken. I’ve seen the repair done on TV car repair shows - they used fiberglass cloth and resin over a screen form to fix the armrests.

Exterior:

Never hit; no repairs; no rust; garaged, not left in sun.

Ford gives police chiefs tech to surveil officers in their own cars

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Police officers certainly have a difficult job in keeping the streets safe, but as public employees in positions of authority, there is still a very real need for oversight. To that end, Ford is partnering with a tech company to offer a new system called Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement on its line of Police Interceptor patrol vehicles that could make cops safer, while giving cities a better idea of what its officers are doing.
The system streams live data about cruisers back to the home base to people like the police chief or shift supervisor. That info includes expected things like speed, location and cornering acceleration, but it gets incredibly granular as well, with records of things like if emergency lights are on, or even if an officer is wearing a seatbelt.
Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement "ought to protect officers as much as it protects the public," said Ford spokesperson Chris Terry to Autoblog. Constantly monitoring patrol cars offers cities a lot of advantages, too. First, it reduces potential liability because a department can prove where each vehicle is at all times. Also, officers know they are being watched and may potentially drive more safely.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
