I That is not the issue, in order to make the EV a replacement for the Internal combustion engine the refueling will have to be in the Minute time frame and not the hour time frame. The other benefit would be that improved batteries could easily be introduced and the old ones could be easily recycled.

Electric cars will take off like a rocket as soon as a universal replaceable battery is adopted !

You could also install the Two seat sports car module to go along with the engine mods.

. If you find a good spring shop , in Vermont it would be McLeod's Spring & Chassis you will find replacement to be very reasonable.

If you are getting 23 on the Highway with CNG you are doing very well. The Range on CNG will be 15-20% below regular Gasolene.

Cool

There are several invasive bugs in the firewood and more than one of states have restrictions on the movement of fire wood. Vermont is one of them . As for water we are not facing a water issue here.

If you are limiting the use to what you say you will not have any issues if you do nothing. The trouble you would get into with the fire wood is being arrested for transporting the fire wood with out a permit.

Having looked at the hose routing on the TC I think that the most invasive part would be the hook up to the flushing machine.

If you Drain and refill the Transmission 3 to 4 times you can change almost 100 % of the fluid with out an invasive operation that would stir things up. I change mine every 25000 miles. If you slack the belts you can spin the pulleys and get an idea of what condition the water pump ,alternator and idler pulleys are in. Have the AC system tested and topped off, as over time they all loose refrigerant. I think you will find it is a very good service platform. Welcome abord

Ford says the TC is rated to tow 2000 Lbs. The standard tongue weight for a 2000 Lb trailer is 10% as a result they say 200 Lbs on the tongue. I am sure that there lawyers tell them to stay quiet on cargo carriers and bike racks.

The inner grease shield on the bearing is plastic so it lets the tone ring work. I the bearing is reversed the steel Grease shield would block the signal.

Did you remove the sensor while you replaced the bearing? They get damaged very easily when the bearing are pressed in or out. If you are keeping a spare bearing around it could be a good idea to have an ABS also.

There is an interlock That will prevent the Right Slider door from opening. As for the electric door motors , more stuff to fail.

If your Springs are good Rock auto has OEM grade struts for 89-92 dollars and changes each. Kyb is good stuff.

My only complaint is that even though the system knows the location and tire pressure it is not available to the driver in the info display.

The SKF book says 59 ft Lbs and then 90 degrees with a oem new nut.

When they check it out have the waste gate checked. If it is not closing tight it will take the turbo longer to spool up and give enough boost. As davidparker asked Did the problem start recently or has it been around along time.

Right I will take that under advisement .

I have noticed that feature also it is only a mater of time till i deal with it with a cutoff wheel!

Well that kills a thousand dollar bill. Was the warranty still in effect?

Sounds like something got in side . The do sell Re-coned units, The amount of the core deposit depends on how much of the turbo they can reuse.

Cool!

Leaf Springs have more noise over time than link and coil spring suspensions, not much of an issue.

Is the Body in good shape? Runs well , good price? Knock 1500 off the price, I bet you can find the Clunk for less
