2000 Ford Explorer XLT.  This has the 4.0L  210 Horspower SOHC engine.  It has 141,101 miles.

Vin # 1FMZU73E7YZB242023

I had the transmission serviced on 8/23/07.  It had 82548 miles.

Since I purchased the vehicle I have changed oil every 5000 miles with a premium filter and full Synthetic oil.

Radiator and upper and lower hoses replaced, May 2013

Replace Front brake calipers, rotors and pads,  June 2013

Replace rear calipers, rotors, pads, rear axle bearings and seals and serviced the rear differential,  June 2013

Battery and Alternator replaced, July 2013

All new tires,  December 2013

When it came time to sell this I did the following to insure a safe and working vehicle.

Right side Upper and Lower ball joints.

Left side Lower ball joint.

Thermostat housing with new thermostat.  I also did the temp sensor for the gauge.  The gauge doesn't respond as fast as it should and stays in the lower area of temp.  It has always done this.  Probably the gauge is tired.  Not a problem.

New spark plugs and wires.  Serpentine belt.  Drivers door lock actuator. [ it was blowing the fuse]

All new shocks, air cleaner and the upper and lower intake manifold gaskets replaced

I also had the arm rest recovered.  

Things Not Working:

Probably will need a rear wiper arm.  Doesn't make good contact with the window.

Left side passenger seat belt torn.

Passenger seat will not travel the last 2 inches back.  It needs a seat track/guide.  I put a stop in the track to prevent it from going all the way back. [ I am in the process of finding and replacing that track]

RH side outside mirror cracked.  It has always been this way.

US Ford Focus RS to be imported from Europe

Tue, 21 Oct 2014

Rumors about the forthcoming Ford Focus RS are flourishing into what sounds like a very impressive new hot hatch. The latest scuttlebutt gives the first indication about when we might see a few of these fast Focuses on roads here in the US.
Unnamed insiders reportedly confirmed to The Truth About Cars that Ford plans to launch the Focus RS in the US in 2016. However, getting one might not be so easy - the boosted powertrain means the car would likely need to be imported from Europe. That's likely going to keep the total number available in the US rather low. The sources estimate a price tag that's a bit more expensive than the top Focus ST3, which starts around $28,500, plus $825 destination.
It seems that a pretty potent package comes for all of that cash, though. The Focus RS reportedly uses a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making between 325 and 350 horsepower, with a torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system to get that muscle to the road. The test mules also wear more aggressive front and rear fascias, dual exhaust tips, larger brakes and sticky tires. It sounds like a great formula on top of the already enjoyable Focus ST.

Watch Tanner Foust hustle the Fiesta ST 'round the 'Ring

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The last time we saw Tanner Foust at the Nürburgring he was sloshing an SVT Raptor from kerb to kerb. Sticking with Ford but swapping keys, this time the drift champion and Top Gear USA host goes to the opposite end of the manufacturer's tuner garage and plucks a Fiesta ST for 'Ring duty.
The 179-horsepower front-wheel-driver acquits itself well by the end of the video. But be warned, Foust doesn't set a 'Ring time and it's shot like a commercial... because that's what it is. Still, you can enjoy all two minutes and 31 seconds of it below.

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US.
