The Ford Motor Company
Over the years
Ford has owned numerous luxurious automaker brands including Aston Martin, Jaguar, and Land Rover. It was originally based in Detroit and founded by Henry Ford in 1903. Its founder Henry Ford is world famous for his creation of the moving assembly line. This invention in 1913 (10 years after the founding of the company) drastically reduced the time in which it took to assemble vehicle chassis; a task that previously took over 12 hours was cut down to just under
three hours.
However, this impressive feat is overshadowed by a simple fact. The Ford Motor Company was one of the few businesses able to survive The Great Depression. So if you’re looking for a reliable brand that you can count on to deliver quality performance, Ford commercial vehicles are an obvious choice.
What Used Spare Ford Parts Are Available From Goldstar?
Our online store has a diverse selection of spare parts for Ford commercial vehicles to choose from, including but not limited to the following:
- Engine Parts. A commercial vehicle’s engine contains a wide range of different components, one of which is the combustion chamber. In this engine component, fuel, air, pressure, and electricity create a small controlled explosion that moves the pistons up and down. The motion of the pistons creates power to move the vehicle.
A sign that something may be wrong with your engine is smoke leaving the exhaust. If it is black the engine is burning too much fuel, however with specific regards to the combustion chamber, if your exhaust is producing dark blue smoke, this means that your engine is burning oil, which means that oil is leaking into the combustion chamber of your engine.
- Gearboxes & Clutches. In general, a gearbox is a mechanical unit that consists of integrated gears within a housing. It functions like any other system of gears; altering torque and speed of the vehicle. The gearbox is an essential component because the vehicle’s wheels turn significantly slowly compared to the engine, this necessitates the need for a reduction in gearing is required in order to transmit power to the wheels. There are many signs that your gearbox is damaged, including leaking fluid or a strange sweet smell. It’s quite easy to see if transmission fluid is leaking, unlike some of the other fluids in your vehicle such as motor oil, transmission fluid should remain at a constant level. Additionally, transmission fluid smells sweet, so you might notice a strange sweet smell if the fluid is leaking. However, if the fluid in your gearbox is burning, you might start to smell a foul burning odour.
With regards to clutches, it’s essential that a damaged or broken clutch is repaired or replaced as soon as possible. A clutch in need of repair or replacement can cause issues such as poor acceleration when revving the engine or difficulty changing gear. However, if the clutch is damaged or broken and you do not find a suitable replacement, you could cause damage to the gearbox or the motor of the vehicle. As such it’s vital that this component is well maintained.
- Safety Parts. Commercial vehicles are equipped with a diverse selection of different safety components, including airbags, seatbelts, and body panels. With regards to airbags and seatbelts, their role in driver/passenger safety is quite obvious. Airbags work thanks to a small chemical explosive that creates nitrogen or argon; filling a nylon airbag. With regards to seatbelts, this essential safety component invented by George Cayley, can be a powerful lifesaving safety tool. However, if the seatbelts are damaged or improperly installed, just a small amount of slack could cause a driver or passenger to be thrown around the vehicle, possibly even outside of the vehicle in the event of a collision or other traffic incident.
On the other hand, body panels may seem a strange inclusion in the term safety parts, after all they’re often thought of as an aesthetic item. However, they are a crucial safety component in any commercial vehicle; they’re not there just to look nice. They’re designed in such a manner that in the event of a collision, the panels will crumple upon impact, absorbing some of the force and increasing the time it takes for the vehicle to experience a change in momentum. This can be a very important factor in traffic incidents.
