Re-time wipers?
G B L replied to BSJBSJ's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lights, Mirrors, Window Tint & Wipers
If the wiper arms are tight on the posts , then you will need to go through the timing procedure. A good scan tool will make this easy. -

Which tire is low?

This just another little annoyance on the TC from ford ! The information is there from the Tpms but ford does not make it available on the display. If you don't have a scan tool , use a manual gauge to find the low tire. If the sensor was bad it would be a different warning. Just a another Ford better Idea.

Mine is closing in on 170000 . Make sure to keep the transmission fluid changed. The biggest issue I will have is the vehicle rusting due to life on a Vermont roads. The transit will do fine when properly equipped with suitable tires . If you find one with posi-traction so much the better. The 3.7 no turbo is adequate power. the biggest drawback with this engine is the timing chain driven water pump. It is very expensive to replace {1200-2500$}, sometime in 120000-160000 range. If neglected it will ruin the engine, The 3.5 Eco boost has a belt driven pump which is better but the High stress turbo charger setup has its own set of expensive issues. If you are looking keep that in mind. The bigger the box the more fuel it takes to move it around.

That is very possible. It would be nice if we had a picture looking straight at the wheel . Maybe we will get one. Hint Hint.

Did you walk around under it while it was on the lift? It had to be from the drive line. was some one in the car to change the speed and gears ? To check the brain hum put some Muffs on!

The steering wheel is off center. at some point the Toe adjustment was set and the wheel was not centered . It was done when the alignment was checked. Any good alignment shop will be able to correct this. Not a big deal but a definitely a mental annoyance!

Trans fluid check and flush. It will take 12 -14 qts to do it .
-
Sorry for being Lax. The codes should tell something. With that many miles checking the harness connection to the trans for corrosion could help . As for the fluid I changed mine to Triax universal at 35000 and now the out going fluid at 30000 mile increments it still very red. It sounds electrical . If your scan tool allows a shift relear could be done. Waiting for the next up date! You are also allowed to be lax.
-
Have you ever done a Scan? were there any codes? After it acts up does it go back to normal ? If it does it sounds like it could have solenoid issues. What does the fluid look like?

Don is correct on all counts!

A Picture would be helpful, we do not have that engine over here. if the coolant gets too low bad things can happen.
