1988 Bronco II 2WD– V6 2.9L EFI with a 5-speed Over Drive Manual Transmission. This is not your normal 1988 vehicle. We are the original owners so we know what has happened with this truck since the day we picked it up with 23 miles on the odometer. We ran the factory oil for the first 2K miles then changed to Mobile 1 Synthetic and have changed the oil every 3K since using Mobile 1. Currently there are 209K miles on the original engine. The 5-speed OD tranny had to have a couple gears replaced about 20K miles ago as they were howling. Even though the clutch was still serviceable we replaced the disc and pressure plate as a preventive measure. The tires have less than 2K miles on them and it has aluminum wheels. This truck has never been driven in a Michigan or other snowy state’s winter. It was repainted in 2012 to a near factory color and it has Ghost Flames. When it was repainted the following was replaced: Door Seals, Window Seals, Marker Lights, Taillight/Brake Light Assemblies, Carpet (sound deadening insulation installed), Front Seat Belt Assemblies, Windshield and trim, Bumpers, Grille and Insert, Ford Emblems, Mirrors, Door Handles, and anything that was not replaced was repainted to look new. As you can see by the plates the Bronco is registered in Alaska but that is only because we are military and that is where we last registered it. The Bronco has never been to Alaska and has been in storage\restoration with family in Michigan since 2007. We were home last year for vacation and drove the Bronco all over Michigan for two weeks with no issues, including a trip up north @75MPH. This is a 26 year old vehicle but has been well cared for. It may not handle/drive like your 2013 Escape, Explorer or F-150 but definitely turns heads when you cruise down the road and is fun to drive.

2014 Ford F-150 gets CNG option
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Ford is toiling away, installing heavy-duty engine components into select 3.7-liter V6s to allow them to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in addition to gasoline. That's nothing new, but now, Ford has announced that it will offer the 2014 F-150 with this engine configuration, bringing the Blue Oval's total number of CNG/LPG-friendly vehicles up to eight. The F-150 will be the only half-ton pickup on the market that can run on these gases.
Ford will charge $315 per vehicle to equip the optional engine, but the trucks won't be ready to run on the alternative fuels straight from the factory and must be upfitted with additional equipment. A Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier will install a separate fuel system for the compressed gases at a cost of $7,500 to $9,500, depending on fuel tank size. With the right-size tank, the F-150 equipped with the CNG/LPG-prepped engine can go 750 miles on one tank of gas, according to Ford, averaging 23 miles per gallon.
The practice of offering flex-fuel vehicles is gaining momentum as businesses take advantage of cheap gas. CNG can be bought for $2.11/gallon on average (per gasoline equivalent), and sometimes for as little as $1.00 in some parts of the US, Ford states. "With the money saved using CNG, customers could start to see payback on their investment in as little as 24 to 36 months," says Jon Coleman, Ford's fleet sustainability and technology manager. The automaker expects to sell a total of 15,000 CNG/LPG-prepped vehicles in the 2014 model year.
2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
