1979 Ford Bronco full size 4WD locking hubs with 4 way adjustable plow. Vehicle has rust above both wheel wells and has Bondo. Also has holes in the floor of the truck. Truck has been used on my property to plow snow for last 8 years or so. Motor starts and runs, but needs to warm up before it will stay running without hitting the gas. it also bogs down if u hit the gas hard. I am pretty sure the problem is vacuum related. i am not a mechanic, so i just let it warm up. it also has some play in the wheel, so i think both tie rod ends need replaced. Tires have good tread and 4WD works well. Has pretty large after marked American Racing rims. Blower motor probably needs to be replaced, it makes a sqeeking sound but still works. truck mostly sits, i recently got a tractor to plow snow with, so I no longer need the plow. Plow goes up and down, and can pivot left and right. Return spring for brake pedel is weak, so i have a bungie chord pulling brake pedal back up. Truck has no back seat, and carpet was removed. Has power back window and a trailer brake unit. A/C belt was removed, but it is inside the truck. Belts are new because they were squeaking last year. Has not been tuned up since i have owned it, but i change the oil every summer... i estimate it drives about 30 miles a year... mostly driving back and forth from the gas station. Temp gauge doesn't work, but the rest of the gauges do work. has a cheap aftermarket cassette radio, good enough to listen to while plowing.

'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed
Sat, 14 Jun 2014Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."
Focus ST diesel variant coming, just don't look for it here
Fri, 07 Mar 2014A few years back, Volkswagen made some waves when it announced the Golf GTD - a diesel-powered car that, aside from its ultra-efficient, ultra-torquey engine, was identical to the gas-powered GTI. That meant cosseting sport seats, larger wheels, sportier suspension, larger brakes and a body kit that made the GTD indistinguishable from the GTI, except for the three little letters on the back and in the grille.
Now, Ford is looking to replicate VW's success, with a diesel version of the Focus ST. According to Motor Trend, the diesel-powered ST will use a 2.0-liter, 182-horsepower four-cylinder. With an unspecified amount of torque on offer (we'd guess around 280 pound-feet), the diesel hot hatch should hit 62 miles per hour in about eight seconds.
The report, which originally comes from Auto Express, claims the ST Diesel was confirmed by Ford Chief Marketing Officer Mark Fields during this week's Geneva Motor Show. Not surprisingly, it doesn't appear there are any plans to bring a diesel-powered Focus of any kind to the US, let alone one that uses the suspension, steering and other items from the ST. Of course, if there's an official confirmation from Ford, we'll be sure to report on it.
Ken Block ain't got a care about ruining his wheels
Tue, 22 Jan 2013During a drifting session at Irwindale Speedway in California, Ken Block made a boo-boo that would send a number of drivers immediately back to the infield. But there's an answer to "What do you do when you bash the wall while drifting and your wheel explodes?" and there's completely different answer when the question begins with the phrase, "When you're Ken Block..."
Instead of us telling you how Block handled the calamity in his Ford Fiesta competition car, you can watch it happen in the video below. You can probably also guess what it is - but it's more fun to watch.
