I am actually considering all options. I am looking at anything I can put cargo in the back of. I am not above the old school station wagons either. I am looking at new, used, and abused vehicles. But the more that I dig, the more I am leaning towards a used 4WD vehicle. And the more that I look at them the more I am leaning towards a used SUV. I have my eye on a used 05' Ford Explorer right now that was owned by the county next to me. But I am still looking and not 100% set one a single vehicle yet. I also have not ruled out going new or a van either. I have also looked at all of those vehicles as well. But the one van that I would pounce on in a heart beat if I could find one in decent shape and the right price would be an old school VW Micro Bus. But good look in finding that combo. :( But maybe 2022 will bring me some joy on this one. https://www.businessinsider.com/vw-microbus-launching-in-2022-will-have-big-updates-2018-1

I was thinking the same thing on both accounts.

Ok. I finally got to talk to someone at my local store that new something other than what is on the shelf that they can see. These are only sold by HF in the kits. I asked how they planned to replace one under the lifetime warranty when I break mine and was told we would have to cross that bridge then. But as for now they have no way to replace this item even though it has their lifetime warranty on it.

I still have another 2012 TC. Well actually it is my Mommies. lol But I do all the maint. work and so forth on it with Dad. Mom got hers in June of 2012 and I got mine in August. I will be sticking around and I am fine.

Glad to hear it has been fixed. But I am glad that I do not have to use that same dealer. I would probably be in prison already if I did. -
I will say this. The laws in Florida are different than those here in North Carolina. But from the unedited video I have seen , here in NC it would not be considered a self defense case as when the guy on the ground starts to draw his weapon the attacker begins to retreat. At that point our laws state that you have removed the threat at that point and any further actions are not needed. So firing the weapon is now a unlawful assault with a deadly weapon by the guy on the ground. Also how can we hold our Law Enforcement Officers to one standard on this and civilians to another. A LEO can not fire on a fleeing suspect, so why should a civilian be allowed to ? If this was a cop laying on the ground shooting and killing a fleeing suspect then the Officer would be charged. I am a firm believer in self protection and the 2A, but this one is all messed up. But it all has to do with the laws of the state, so Florida will have to figure this one out own their own.

Wow. I would have never thought of that happening. Glad you were able to resolve the problem they created before leaving. -
Lets not make it political. Lets stay on the topic of vans on this one. Cause if we go political I think I will be the first one to get banned when my thoughts come out on all the sides. I am kicking around all the options. Right now the money is in the bank drawing interest till I can make up my mind. Which is not easy when I am easily hey look there went a squirrel.

Now that Metris is a van. The big Mercedes van is nice to. But I like the Transit a little better. I am holding onto the insurance money and have it in my savings account collecting interest while I look. I am on the forums looking at different models and the problems people are having. And I have made a note one how Ford is handling cases like yours DonShockley. I am also following your post on the recall work. I love the graphics you made for the van.

I took the pay out and am looking for a new van. The difference was $4k. Basically once the bumper cover was removed and the hood opened, the entire front end from the radiator forward need to be replaced. Nothing was leaking, but my radiator was in a semi horseshoe shape along with the coolers. Everything else from there forwards was bent, cracked, busted, and snapped. I was doubting my choice to sell it to them, till they let me walk back and look at it. As for the Mercedes, they are just a tad bit above my social level. This redneck country boy could not pull off a Mercedes. lol Although I think I may be able to pull off an Audi Sedan.

It is official. I have lost my membership card as of today. After tearing into my TC the body shop found more damage and the insurance totaled my poor baby. Now the hunt begins to try and replace the Money Maker. :( Looking at maybe a 2017 Transit 150 SWB Medium Roof.

I will take them out for you. I try not to delete stuff unless it is spam, offensive, or the poster requested it.

I will check the shelves at my local store when I get up there. May make a run this weekend for more rubber gloves. lol

I am going to second what donuts said. Always start with the cheapest and easiest fix first. If the cleaner does not get the right results, then replacing the injectors are not hard to replace. Also when I replaced one on my 2012 no programming was required. Any aftermarket injector will work as long as it is for the 2012 TC. Just depends on how much you wish to spend.

Here is mine that came in the tool set. It is a 3/8 extension with a 1/2 to 3/8 reducer on it. No part numbers stamped on the tool.
