  1. Here are a couple of Pictures of mine Its warmed up to 29 Must be summer
  2. Here is the parts picture for the rear doors with the panel part numbers
  3. Its the engine block , it will hold the heat for several hours, in fact if you get back to the car in 15 or 20 minutes it could be higher the temp fo the engine increases after the circulation of the water stops. Its 15 degrees here right now briing it here and it will cool off pretty fast
  4. In addition to the last post. Make sure the Flow control on the front is pointing to the feet . This will maximize the avalible heat
  5. I did a test run with the car this morning . The starting temp outside was 10 degrees F. Set the front heater on fan speed 3 and temp control high, and the air flow valve pointing to the feet . The rear fan was on 2 and the temp control on high after a ten minute run the heat coming out of the B pillar vent was good I also found that the vent hook up on the passinger side under the seat might not be good . when it is on the duct correctly then there is good heat for the passingers feet. The Rear heater gets most of the warm air from the front heater supplied through the duct. Hope this helps some one.
  6. As a follow up I did a test run with the car this morning . The starting temp outside was 10 degrees F. Set the front heater on fan speed 3 and temp control high .

  7. The shaft seal is weeping so I checked and added a couple of Oz of oil to be sure
  8. Make sure the Engine is running ! If it is not and the car sits for a while then you get a real mess.
  9. Yes if it is up to operating Temp. If Cold about 3/8 or 1/2 " below the hole as checked with a tie wrap dip stick I made, The fill is accessed better if the Air filter top is moved out of the way
  10. The bolt for checking the fluid is visible through the Left wheel well with the wheel turned to the left so the level could be checked from there with no lift
  11. windguy the Rear Barn doors have the same shape panels as the masonite van panels except they are the same material as the wiper motor covers that are on yours
  12. Johnyguy The Fluid check proceedure is a pain but not very hard if the Gear is low enough to shift badly it will not be good for the Transmission Clutch Packs. Check the fluid soon!! I also would like to see the service advisory on the issue Good luck
  13. The Directions are accurate the fill is not as easy to get to as the picture shows . The air filter top and hose has to be moved to get to the fill but it is possible A very crummy way to save $10.00 Dollars
  14. Remember the heater core gets water from the engine coolant at engine temp. That temp could be over 200 degrees . So with the temp valve oopen and no fan it would be very hot at the heater core. Another thought is the Exaust from the engine with the Converter is right there in the center of the car and running under the center that could be adding some heat I will have to check it out more
  15. The Passenger Van has ductwork going under the the seats for the back seat heat. The hot air is directed down through that area, I am not sure if the work van has the ducts, but I supect that there is alot of hot air directed at that area as well It should stay cooler with the temp control in the cooling zone if they put in a water control valve for the heater. Have not checked out the water valve yet.
  16. I am late to the conversation.. I had time today to check the parts diagram for the heater and the front heater core supplies heated air under the drivers and Passengers seat when the control is pointing to the feet . With the fan on 3 or 4 and the front temp control on high there is a fair amount of heated air under the Driver and Passengers seats . The intake for the rear heater is under the Drivers seat. This is not a great design but it might make more heat availiable for the rear of the vehicle This won't fix the Bad design but could help some.
  17. The Transmission Fluid Check Proceedure outlined in another Post is accurate, the photos are correct. It is however a pain in the Butt without a lift Have a Great Day
  18. Windguy Here are the photos . Forgive the Mud, Vermont is hard on Cars Any More News on the Half Shaft Seal Issue, Mine is weeping The Transmission fluid check pictures are accurate Have a great day
  19. Recovery Hook Its avaliable from Fordaccessories.com Hope this helps Part No: 6M2Z-17A954-A SRP: $31.81 Get local pricing For Front or Rear 1-Piece
  20. I have a 2014 LWB wagon, Installed a Curt 2" receiver, well made, easy to install, sticks out less than 1" from the bumper . Very reasonably priced from E Trailer, they have the Lighting adapter also. Hope this helps
