Cool ! Do you know if the engine went in with all the sensors or did the installer put your sensors on it? Could you have gotten a 2.3?

The frame-less wipers are pretty good , I when I changed the blades on the TC I went from 28inch blades to 26 inch blades it reduces the load on the wiper arms , which helps in a heavy snow storm.

The Tpms Light will come on if the pressure is lower than 36 lbs.. If you use different wheels with different sensors you need make the TC recognize them. If I run more than the 36Psi in the front the center of the tire wears more rapidly than the outside. I Run the rear at 40 and the tires wear well and even.

Very Nice Job!! No the Port-a-potty is in the left rear corner.

Well every place has its good points and bad points. I am not a big fan of the so called winter wipers. If everybody showed up in Southern California then they would need even more rules.

The electric cabin heater is an option . The TC is a fine winter vehicle once you get familiar with switching off the Traction Control. The heater is good in the front, Once you learn the set up the Rear heat is adequate. Have not installed the Block heater yet , It starts fine , the coldest start I have done is -25F . Winter tires make a difference.

I used the Valvoline LV compatible fluid for the Second fluid change and it had the same dark color as the Mercon LV fluid. I am using this fluid Triax Global Synthetic ATF - OEM Grade Compatible with Allison TES 295, BMW, Audi, Mercedes Benz, VW, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Chrysler +4, Ford Mercon V/LV,... for the third change I will let every one know how this fluid holds up. The temp of this Transmission is above 175 F all the time and that may make the fluid work hard. The temp of the L480E in My 3500 Chev express is around 140-160 F . I Report in 22000 miles

It is heat shrink tubing and it makes the funnel long enough to put in and be able to not make a mess when you add fluid. As a side note I used the Valvoline LV compatible fluid for the Second fluid change and it had the same dark color as the Mercon LV fluid. I am using this fluid Triax Global Synthetic ATF - OEM Grade Compatible with Allison TES 295, BMW, Audi, Mercedes Benz, VW, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Chrysler +4, Ford Mercon V/LV,... for the third change I will let every one know how this fluid holds up. The temp of this Transmission is above 175 F all the time and that may make the fluid work hard. The temp of the L480E in My 3500 Chev express is around 140-160 F . I Report in 22000 miles.

As you have said many times ,at least here in the states most of the TC's are commercial that kills the performance parts demand. With the trans the PCM adapts the shift points , so if you clear the shift point memory you can change the transmission shift points to match your driving style. I think Ford wound most of the power out of this engine.

Shovels, sleeping bag, and a SET of CHAINS!

Good , basic trouble shooting is the best. Glad that you have a real answer and the TC is back on line.

Twist and then pull, it is a friction fit. And I have already showed you how I jack My TC up!

I am running 215/60/16 on my TC and the ride is better the handling and shifting performance is the same and the Speedometer error is 2 mph . I consider it a very nice improvement on the TC

Fifty 150 You are lucky . I wish mine had your switch instead of the electronic switch in the Information center.

Here is the post I did on the Transmission Change. The hardest part of this operation will be getting the TC Jacked up. Should be almost level . Remove the Under body dust shield . Look for the Drain Plug. 11 mm or 7/16 wrench. ] This style funnel will slide down into the Vent plug you just removed Put 3 quarts of fluid in [attacjpg] ] Run the TC for 5 to 10 minutes . Then drain the fluid again. Repeat this 2 more times You have Now used 9 quarts of fluid. Put the Drain plug back in make it snug this time. Add 3 quarts of fluid You have now used 12 quarts. Go under the car and Look for the indicator plug (14 mm wrench) Loosen the plug. Do not remove yet Start the engine with the engine running and the Car in park pull the plug and add fluid into the funnel until it just drips out the Indicator hole Replace plug put the Dust shield on , Pull the funnel and replace the vent cap. Total Fluid 13 Qts. With most of number 13 left There is no filter to change on this operation and the type of fluid is Mercon LV.  Have fun!  I have changed the fluid 3 times at 25000 Mile intervals and the fluid in this trans works hard.

The algorithm the traction control uses makes knowing how to turn it off a necessity . I am not sure what was done to disable it. If you drive in snowy conditions find a parking lot and see what the traction control does and the procedure for switching it off. It works much better in rainy conditions. I wish the Gen 2 had a visible button on the dash to switch it off.

Well you get what you pay for even with the under the blanket magazines!!

Fifty 150 don't waste your money, This is a much better source , good diagrams and you can print the page you need to take under the dash with you. https://www.factory-manuals.com/ford-transit/-connect&28&164

Hey welcome aboard. My mates son lives in Bullhead City . Have been there on several trips, the last time November -December last year. . A very interesting part of the country.

If the van stalls check the IAC[ idle air control] If that is not functioning it could cause a stall and a low idle.

78042 miles 10+ oil changes , the sealing washer is a good fit in the plug and pan. Be careful do not overtighten, you will be ok.

Had mine out at 50000 Plus miles . The main reason was to Never seize the thread. They were is good condition, will replace at about 80000. They are taper seat , 1/16 of a turn after tight will be good.

The toureno connect is the combi version and the door should fit. I am not sure that the commercial harness will have the window wiring, but is could . Take a measure of the height and width and check the other door I bet they are the save. Keep us posted !

The better the scanner the more vehicle specific codes you will get but the terms that your scanner reads are generic and the same between car brands. Here is a place to start https://www.youtube.com/embed/tdmLiyklZMw?rel=0&autoplay=1

Most of the newer cars have rubber cushions on the bottom The Radiator is held in from the top. The Two Hose connections and possibility of Transmission cooler lines. Looks pretty straight forward
