2006 Ford E-450 6.0l Diesel Transit Bus, Transport Bus on 2040-cars
Scarborough, Maine, United States
|
I bought this bus from the Transit Authority in Virginia last April. The bus has every record or oil changes, tires rotations, they kept a book on this bus. Bus is in decent good condition on the outside (see pics) and the interior is really clean. a NEW, not re-manufactured, tranny was put in about 100k ago, 4 new injectors done about 20k ago. I drove it from Virginia to Maine with zero problems. got an average of 13mpg. The reason i bought it sight unseen was cause of the records they kept on it and how good a shape it was for a 2006.
Was driving it the other day and the engine died while driving. So had it towed and mechanic said there is oil in the coolant but no coolant in the oil. He said it was more then likely an oil cooler failure. The engine turns over and cranks but wont fire. I didnt want to dump money into them tearing the engine apart so I am just listing it forsale. Everything on the bus works except the issue w the oil in the coolant. If you have the place and tool and time to tear this engine apart then this would be a good deal for you. I also have found a replacement engine in VT for $2500 with only 120k on it, I will gladly give the name and number to the winning bidder to the guy who has this engine. This really is a good bus for the right person w time and place to work on it. BUS WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED FROM CURENT LOCATION IN SOUTH PORTLAND, MAINE TO YOUR FINAL DESTINATION AT YOUR EXPENSE. Feel free to text me or call me with any questions 207-318-9725 |

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
