  1. Sounds like there is some one in some part of the world that is saying I thought I ordered a cargo net where the xxxx is it !!
  2. Usually the people who are interested in the Eco Mode don't need a reminder and the rest buy a fast car with a thirsty powerful motor!!
  3. 40 years ago JC Whitney Use to sell a Color coded Vacuum gauge that mounts on the Dash board and when you put your foot into it hard it would go to Red as the Throttle opened , Showing you that you were using more gas. When you took your foot off the gas it would return to the green zone. It was Called the Econo Meter! This is the up dated version. Nice to see that things do not change as much as you would think. It also shows that Gimmicks that make you think you are saving gas are not new and are not going away.
  4. Thanks for the information . I will have to run a tank of 93 through mine and see what happens .
  5. The traction control on the Gen 2 can be switched off with the Steering wheel mounted control. Scroll through the settings and you can turn it off. The only issue is that it resets when you re start the TC.
  6. Here is the Link http://fordtransitconnectforum.com/topic/4828-trans-drain-and-fill-for-2014-tc-w25-l-6-speed-auto/ Nice form Mustang
  7. Nice Looks like you got just what you wanted. It appears to me like your rig will not see much snow.
  8. The oil service message is for the engine oil not the trans. I changed the Transmission fluid at 26000 and it needed it.
  9. Look at the Pictures I posted on the Trans drain and fill for the bolt to check the level. I will listen for your reaction. Maybe they give you a dip stick in the EU.
  10. sorry I finally figures out what you were asking and it must have rolled out the door on a hard corner
  11. That is the same Trans I have in mine after it goes through the adaptive process it shifts well. Hope the half shaft leak misses your rig. With no dip stick and no tell tale you need to pay attention.
  12. If you are running a 2 K inverter you want to run both a positive and a negative Directly from the Battery and you need 2Gage or bigger wire with a fuse at the battery. If the you load the inverter and the engine is not running the battery will last less than 15 minutes.
  13. Yes they were, but you could overload it by 100% and not break it
  14. Have you been running 93 octane all the time? Have you ever run 87 if so could you tell the difference.
  15. The stud size is M12X1.5 on both the 2010 and the 2014. The torque for the 2010 is 66Lbs and the 2014 torque is 100 lbs . The fact that the Gen 1 has 15 inch rims and the Gen 2 has 16 inch rims must have something to do with the difference in the spec. The most important thing is to use a Torque Wrench and re tighten the wheels a couple of times after changing a wheel.
  16. Nice Which Transmission is in the new rig? Hope this one is as good as the last one. Send pictures, Are you putting your red ford emblem on the new one?
  17. Mustang nice to see you are well. It is in Vermont also
  18. Big brother is in every body's business these days . If the tax is on HP only then you will not notice much of a difference. They should be able to maintain the torque and feel and still limit the Hp at the top. Take a test ride and make sure you like it. You seem to use your vehicles up completely so this is a long term purchase.
  19. This sounds like a cool rig. Remember the Diesel to gas penalty is 25%. The enjoyment of having 178 Hp will cause a big smile. If the size of the smile is big enough, then the cost will be worth it. Hopefully the inside of the 1.6 is up to the extra Hp. The Transit custom comes as a wagon which would offset the business look to a large degree. Have you Driven this rig yet
  20. You can buy the assembly but it is very expensive the Machine Shop is a better alternative
  21. sounds like a left wheel bearing. When you turn to the left the load is on the right wheel, so the left would quiet down. Jack up the Front end on stands and start it put it in gear and then listen to each wheel you will hear the bad bearing. Let us know what you find.
  22. Nice . If you have not done the Trans fluid you should consider it .
  23. Good another way is to pull the kick panel and you can get to it with out dropping the glove box
  24. What speed does this happen? if you get to the same speed and put the cruise control on and go up the same incline, what is the shift quality.
