I bought this truck from a friend a while ago. It was his daily driver. He commuted to Ohio and back every week, therefore the high mileage. The last time he drove it, the engine light came on and the oil pressure dropped. He immediately pulled over and had it towed to his mechanic. The mechanic checked it out and seems to think it needs an oil pump. Without tearing into the motor, it's hard to diagnose I guess. He didn't want to invest any money into it because he had recently bought a car to commute with. So I bought the truck with the intention of fixing or replacing the motor. Since I've had the truck at my house, I haven't been able to repeat the problem! I haven't taken the truck on the road because I didn't put plates on it, but I drive it around the yard and no issues! It sounds/runs good. Could use manifold gaskets, but even that quiets down after about 15 seconds. The 4 wheel drive works good. Air Conditioning blows cold. Trans shifts good. Clean leather interior. Premium stereo. Power options. Tow package. Tires have about 3,000 miles. Alternator and belts replaced last fall. Brakes and rotors new. Small rust bubbles on rear wheel wells. Front bumper has surface rust from stone chips.
Like I said, this was his daily driver until the engine issue. I've just decided to sell it and get a 2 wheel drive truck.
The engine issue may be something minor, and someone will get a great deal. Or the worst case scenario is that it needs a new engine, and therefore my low starting price with NO RESERVE! But I'm not a mechanic, so keep that in mind. The truck is available evenings for anyone to come check it out. It runs and drives but I'm not letting anyone take it on the road. No plates, insurance or inspection. Plus, it runs good now, but at high speeds nobody knows. At least now I can move it around! So please respect that. I would urge the winning bidder to have it towed rather than drive it home.
To arrange a time to see it, or any questions you may have, please email me.
Thanks, and good luck bidding.

I've had questions about the truck that I will answer for everyone;
* YES, the toolboxes will be sold with the truck. And I have multiple keys for the boxes, plus many spares.
* There is no frame damage on the truck.
* The truck was undercoated when it was purchased new, and in very good shape underneath. Only minimal surface rust, NO structural damage whatsoever.
* The truck has idled in my driveway 5-10 minutes, and I've driven around the yard. Like I said, it runs great! But I haven't taken it on the road or run it at high idle. It revs up with no noises or issues, but I'm not gonna push it. At this point I can move it around and I don't want to make any further problems if there are any. That's up to the buyer. But I'll start and drive it for anyone to see. Like I said....bid as though the motor needs to be replaced. That way you won't be disappointed. But there may be no issues with it.
* The engine light came on for the previous owner, but it's not on now and I didn't have a diagnostic check done since I've had it.
* The oil has about 2000 miles on it, and it's clean. No metal filings.

Creations n' Chrome Top Notch Mustang is a one-of-a-kind fox
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Is there a cooler car from the 1980s and early 90s to mod than a Fox-body Ford Mustang? No, there isn't. If you disagree with us, we suggest you have a look at this 1990 Mustang Coupe, which just might change your mind. Although considering just how extensively modified this car - the Top Notch Mustang from Creations n' Chrome - is, we wonder just how much Ford is left in this old pony.
It rides on a custom race tube chassis that weighs a scant 700 pounds, while carbon-fiber bits and bobs help lower the overall curb weight to a mere 2,400 pounds. When paired with supercharged, 5.0-liter, Aluminator V8 from Ford Racing, the results are, doubtlessly, exciting. 855 horsepower at the rear wheels and 667 pound-feet of torque are available from that force-fed V8 should be just plenty for this car's intended purpose of running in standing-mile competitions.
The Top Notch Mustang is more extreme than just weight savings and a big engine, though. That 5.0-liter is essentially in what's known as a front-mid layout - where the engine is actually behind the front axle. In this case, the 5.0-liter V8 is 17 inches further back than a factory Fox-body, for better weight distribution. As a result, the cabin has been completely overhauled. An SLA front suspension, wheels from HRE, Wilwood brakes and Sparco interior items round out the extensive list of mods.
Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?
Tue, 26 Aug 2014
Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.
Ford Edge Concept previews new look, can park itself remotely
Wed, 20 Nov 2013It turns out the image we saw back in February did, in fact, reveal the next-generation Ford Edge - at least in concept form. We still have to wait to see what the design will look like in production guise, but until then, Ford is giving us a good idea thanks to the Edge Concept being introduced at the LA Auto Show.
The new styling is an evolution of the current crossover's face with narrow headlights and a prominently slatted grille, while the rest of the design adds a more dynamic appearance with interesting body creases and horizontal taillights. We haven't gotten a look inside the Edge Concept just yet, but Ford is promising a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies including a new self-park system that allows activation from inside or outside the vehicle along with obstacle avoidance and an adaptive electric power steering system.
Ford will continue to offer an EcoBoost engine option in the upcoming Edge, and it will get active grille shutters to help maximize fuel efficiency. No word yet on when we'll be seeing the next-gen Edge in production form, but as we reported recently, it will become a global model in markets including Europe, China and South America. Ford's press release is posted below, but we'll have more information and images up later today.
