1988 Ford Ranger Stx Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 2.9l on 2040-cars
Richmond, Indiana, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1988 Ford Ranger STX. Today STX is basically a sticker. This STX has 21 up-graded suspension parts than all other 4X4 Rangers of the time. Plus it has the Appearance Package that not all of them recieved. That package had the roll bar, brush guard, tubular rear bumper, off-road lights, fog lights, stripes, and badges. Its a really nice truck all the way around. It drives like a brand new vehicle rides firm but not stiff. Everything performs perfect electrical, brakes, engine, drivetrain all works perfect. With the exception of a squeaky speedo cable. Prolly just needs some lube. It works good not off speed or jumping needle only a little squeaky most people prolly would never notice it. No major flaws anywhere. Its just as nice as it ever was. The engine is all stock but we painted it black and tan to match the outside. Its really pretty fun at car shows its not the same thing every one else has people like to talk about it. I see it as a collector but could be driven daily if you take care of it some 2.9 engines last over 300,000. 20 MPG about all the time city or highway but does good on the highway 3.73 gear. If you were to buy it you could definitely drive home. Within the last 500 miles its had new tires, shocks, belts, hoses, valve cover gaskets, radiator, and oil change. The exhaust doesnt have converters. Its a resonator with chambered flowmaster style muffler 3" single in dual 2.5" out. Sounds really good close to a v8 rumble no whinny top end like most v6 exhausts. If you want it shipped that will be up to you or you can drive away. My phone number is 765-977-0091 call if you have any questions or message me. Thanks for looking! |

Ford F-Series Super Duty prototype reduced to smoldering mess of aluminum and steel [UPDATE]
Mon, 04 Aug 2014The most important bit of information you need to know after looking through our high-res gallery of images depicting a prototype 2016 Ford F-Series Super Duty pickup truck burning to the ground is that nobody was hurt. There were two engineers inside the vehicle when it caught fire, and both exited to safety.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the truck, which appears to have been testing in Death Valley, appears to be a total loss, minus, of course, whatever information Ford can glean from the conflagration - particularly tracing it back to its root cause. Besides that, we're also expecting the body of the next Super Duty to be hewn from aluminum, as is the case with its smaller brother, the brand-new F-150. Note the little aluminum droppings littering the roadway as apparent proof of that.
Our spy photographers report that it took just 21 minutes for the F-Series Super Duty to burn completely to the ground. The fire appears to have started in the driver-side front wheel well, spreading to engulf the entire front end in three minutes. We can't confirm the source of the blaze, but we're curious if the car's black vinyl cladding, meant to obscure the secrets within, contributed to the fire.
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.
Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
