If you watch which way the cable lever pulls it will tell you which way to turn the puck. Rockauto has rotors with improved corrosion protection, check them out and see if you can get them locally . it will help them last better. The rear brakes wear faster on the Gen 2.

The fuel economy has always dropped in the cold weather, the 10 percent ethanol just makes the drop bigger The speed wind resistance effect has always been there, as gas prices go up it becomes how fast for how much?

Very good, I will keep those tires in mind for the next set.

4 .5 years and counting.

The major issues with CNG are where to fill if going out of your area..The price for fuel is important because it has less energy than Gasolene . If the equipment is in good shape you should have no issues with how it runs.

The extra expense of the diesel option makes selling enough units problematic for the North American TC market. If the diesel fuel is properly winterized, winter operation is not a problem.

How do they clean the injectors? I know on the multiport injectors they reverse flush them, are the DI injectors different?

Great! Sometimes no action is the right plan.

Small diesel engine and not in a hurry. The perfect combo for great mileage.

On every level how the car looks and makes you feel is the most important thing for a large percentage of the worlds automotive customer!

\When you add snow and Ice and Mud to the mix it changes the engineering requirements. How many miles? The propane being under pressure would definitely point out any leaks in the system. What gets serviced in the injectors? Those look like good tires, Let us know how they ride and hold up.

The speed and wind drag has always been the most important factor in fuel mileage . It is nice to see that the physics has not changed even if the world seems to have come off the rails.

Very Nice

Great . It is always nice when thing go better than expected.

Here are two links that will help you , if replacing the sensor does not cure it then it could be the thermostat and housing. Keep us posted. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Qj4HWhxB9J8?rel=0&autoplay=1 https://www.youtube.com/embed/VNcRPxGXCz8?rel=0&autoplay=1

All of you have pretty much covered why in the work /Minivan size in the US Ford has the edge at the moment.

RPM, If you use the transmission in the manual mode you can see the rpm change for the gear changes . then you would see if your downshift was causing a two gear change.

Could be, if the engine speed is great enough it could be shifting down two gears and this would make a big noise and jolt.

what were the code numbers?

Welcome, a lot of good camper info here.

Looks like a great project, but would not work on my road!

What is the engine speed before and after this happens?

Have you run a scan on the AC system? That could tell you a lot.

The way that swap would work is if the Base engines are similar then you would have to use all the fuel exhaust and electronic components from the 2 .0, if all that stuff bolted on to the 2.5 the computer would not need to be up dated. The possible down side would be the extra torque going into The Transmission.

The real reason it is hard to fine a shop with an Brake shoe arc grinder is the dust problem . There should be no asbestos in the linings, but you can't be sure. You can speed up the process by adjusting the brakes a bit tighter. If you reverse the car smartly and stop it you will adjust the brakes .
