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!

3dCarbon now offering body kit for Ford Fusion

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

A factory-backed body kit by 3dCarbon is now available to Ford Fusion owners who want their car to stand out from the crowd while not being too flashy. The body kit adds a more aggressive front spoiler, side skirts, rear body trim and spoiler that are, in fact, integrated quite nicely into the Fusion's already-comely styling, just as 3dCarbon claims. All Fusions with the kit also receive dual exhaust ports with the stainless-steel exhaust surrounds usually reserved for the Titanium package Fusion EcoBoost models.
A nice detail of 3dCarbon's injection-molded urethane body kit is that it has undergone crash testing to certify that it can withstand crashes up to five miles per hour. Because of this, the kit is warrantied by 3dCarbon for five years or 50,000 miles, much like Ford's warranty on its own parts. In fact, the kit is available through participating Ford dealers and can be financed through Ford Motor Credit. Buyers can purchase the kit - pre-painted or unpainted - and install it themselves, or it can be purchased with a new Ford Fusion and installed at the dealer, pre-painted to factory specifications. Of course, it can also be ordered directly from the source. Take a look at the press release below for more detailed information on the body kit, and let us know what you think of it in Comments.

Ford recalls more than 550,000 trucks and SUVs for various safety issues

Wed, Aug 12 2020

Ford announced safety recalls for its current F-150 pickup along with several Ford and Lincoln crossovers early Wednesday. The recalls cover more than 550,000 vehicles and address various safety defects, ranging from a fire hazard to potential loss of braking power.  The most far-reaching of the recalls covers approximately 550,000 examples of the 2015-2018 Ford Edge and 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX, which may have been assembled with defective front brake jounce hoses (also commonly referred to as "flex lines"). These hoses run from fixed points on the chassis to the individual front brake calipers. Defective hoses could potentially rupture, allowing brake fluid to leak and resulting in a loss of braking function. Ford will replace the components in question with revised parts.  The next-largest recall is for roughly 3,000 2020 Lincoln Corsair crossovers. The affected models may have been assembled without proper clearance between their rear suspension springs and toe link brackets. The components could potentially make contact, wearing down the protective coating on the rear coil springs, allowing corrosion to occur over time. This corrosion could eventually lead to a failure of the spring. If this happens while the vehicle is being driven, it could result in a sudden change to the vehicle's handling characteristics, and the spring fragments could potentially cause further damage to the car or surrounding traffic.  Ford says owners will be notified that their Corsairs need to be inspected; if there is not adequate clearance between the rear suspension components, Ford's service technicians will remove material from the toe link bracket to allow for operation without contact.  The final (and by far the smallest) recall is for the 2020 F-150. Some units may have left the factory with the incorrect retention nut on the hot lead to the starter motor. Ford says it can cause increased heat generation or electrical arcing, which could potentially result in a fire. Ford says this issue is limited to just a few hundred examples sold in the United States. Dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace the nut if necessary.       

2015 Ford Mustang GT [w/video]

Fri, 19 Sep 2014

At 50 years old, the object of fantasies, a tuner's dream, a movie star and more than nine million strong, it couldn't be truer to say that the Ford Mustang needs no introduction. This newest Mustang, however - making the biggest changes we've seen to the pony car since perhaps 1964.5 - is something Ford has been introducing all year.
We went on a Deep Dive, covered the way it looks when it was revealed, detailed the engine specs, got a ride in the EcoBoost and listened to the V8, got rolling footage and watched it do a standard-feature burnout.
The only thing left to do? Drive it. Having now done so for a few hours around Los Angeles, what we can tell you is to forget everything you know about the Mustang. This new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment.
