Ford News

Saw this Friday on I94 west of Ann Arbor. Crappy weather, couldn’t really stay right next to the truck, so forgive the qualify of the shot. Truck towing it was a Ford Motor Company vehicle and was marked with their Emissions Lab info. Positive news I think for the next gen. Fusion/Milan.

Long story short, I bought some degreaser and sprayed the motor down. I washed it off with a water hose.

As soon as I start the engine my belt tensioner pulley started screaming away! I fixed by replacing the pulley. The guys at the auto store tried to force me to buy the whole belt tensioner assembly. One guy said I needed to because they come together :HAHA:

Hi

I have a 2001 Ford Focus with a 6006e 6cd head unit.

I want a unit with an aux input for an MP3 player.

Would the new style 6000cd (dial volume control in the middle) fit? If so would I need to get any cable adapters and would the steering wheel controls still work?

Thanks for any help

What sized speakers are used in the 2010 Ford Focus Sedans??? I want to replace the OEM speakers (probably after the 3/36k warranty runs out, which will be about a year for me) for some better ones.

Additionally, what type of connector does Ford use to connect their speakers, or are they soldered on. Someone told me they think they are like 5×7" or 5×8" but I want to make sure so I buy the right size. I’m looking for bot the fronts and rear sizes (all 4 speakers are embedded in the door panels).

The pony cars wars are heating up! Ford Motor Company is reporting that in just its first month of sales the 2011 Ford Mustang has sold 11,000 units, three times as much as the 2010 Mustang in the same timespan.

OK. I wanna build a 92-96 short bed when i finish UTI….(gen1 lightning knockoff) I dont wanna spend over 5000-6000 total. I dont really wanna put more than 3000 into the engine. I got my heart set on the roller 351w but idk what i should do (on a budget) to the top end, ignition, fuel delivery. I wanna hit close to 400rwhp. I think i can use the stock crank if its in good shape. Do i need new pistons? If so…forged? I have no clue on the trans…..have to have a manual….somethin streetable obviously. Im open for ideas on other cool stuff to do to the truck sooo hit me!

This little yellow coupe is a ‘66 and it shows what can be done starting with a six-cylinder car as a basis.

Hot on the heels of cutting 900 jobs at its Flat Rock facility near Detroit, Ford has announced better news for its Cleveland plant, a US$155-million investment and 60 jobs added, all in the name of the new variable cam V-6 for the 2011 Mustang. The new-tech lump boasts a touted 30 miles per gallon and 305 horsepower.
