Lovely repair

If after the Jump it is worse, check the battery connections something could be loose. The battery is definitely suspect. As a side note . every once and a while mine just decides to kill the battery. New battery , old battery does not matter . No charging issues , No codes, no clues, just random. My defence is a well charged booster pak and several well worn swear words at the ready.

Does any one have any real world comparisons ? Check this test out it is quite interesting .

Mine also. The only change I make is to allow a warm up to make sure all the brittle plastic parts on both the engine and Transmission are happy.

Put a good booster pak on it , Mine has had the battery get discharged for no apparent reason. It is easy to jump the starter to test if needed. Keep us posted

If you have the opportunity drive both. That will tell you what you want to know. If you do please report I am excited to know a real world comparison of the performance difference. At one point I will test drive a 2019 just to see . As I have made the last payment on the 2014 last month I am going to take a Rest from the payment race.

If the coolant stays at the normal level with out loss then there is no overheating.

Is it loosing coolant? You can test for combustion gasses in the coolant with a tester. If it is not loosing coolant then you could have a thermostat issue. If there is no heat then the coolant is low, top it off and see how long it takes to get low again

Barn Doors no gravity !! I am already old.

If you are looking at a TC that is still in the 3 -36000 or the 5-60000 Power train warranty then a Car Fax would help. You can go on line and check to see what the service recalls for the Year TC are and The carfax will tell you if they are done. I always want to see the car up on a lift because the underside will tell you lots about the abuse that the TC has had. A good honest independent with a scanner can do a good inspection .

Nice report. The take away from my experience based on my fluid changes is that this gear box works hard and 25000 miles is about all you want the fluid to go.

89000+ on the 2014 LWB I have, no major issues yet.Tran has had no issues yet, it gets flushed every 25000. The worst thing is checking the fluid level in the trans. The northeast winters are hard on the brakes. Pulls a properly sized trailer nicely.

The wipers are controled by the Body Control Module, I won't have access to my Manuel till the week end . Hopefully someone Else will chime in.

I think you have a point. It could have something to do with making it the same as blinking the lights on the other lever.

I can see none of you folks live in a dirt road in Vermont, My TC has 2 for the front and one on each rear door. you pull the wiper lever toward you for the front and push it for the rear. I use lots of Rain-x

Well I get to say Great again and add sometimes action is the the real answer!

Awaiting more information. Which engine does your TC Have.

You get the Sherlock award for the week. Very Cool thank for the info and picture.

Just as a point of interest the Right slider will not open if the fuel door is open. I have tried. At least one engineer was on top of the situation.

The plug in the Transmission is already there , It is going to be inboard of the battery when i get to it i will take pictures.

The dip stick in the picture is the correct one and it was on the escape through 2013, the 6f-35 that is coupled to the 2.5 is the same. The install will not need the vent tube for the Tc install , the plug is in the correct place on the TC. I will up date when I get to it. There never was a dip stick at the vent location.

You could go to Walmart and get a big umbrella that would do the trick for under $50.00 and you could use it at the beach as an added bonus.

Very good time will tell!

I have. I have the dip stick that goes with the Trans . As i have a lift the plan has not been put into motion. I will let you know how it turns out. On most transmissions the fill tube enters the pan lower than the vent and requires a rubber O ring seal the a leak. The if the dip stick has only one full mark then it is calibrated to the fluid level hot, if there are two marks one will be cold and one will be at operating temp.

If you inflate the tires to the correct air pressure the change in ride quality will be hard to notice. I am not sure if the change is worth it.
