Not sure where you are located, but you might want to check with your attorney generals office, You might have some recourse it there was a TSB on your issue especially considering the timing.

The small van being a much more important part of the EU market gives the buyer a lot more options . We here are envious over here .

welcome there are lots of people doing the van camper route , lots of info here. You both should Rent an F350 Crew cab for a day, it will take the edge of the fuel mileage shock!

good luck with your project

Does the Trans leak when it sits ? How much is it leaking? When you changed the axle did you change the carrier bearing on that side?

Looked at the video nothing stood out. Must be oil on the exhaust manifold from some where. Where do you see the fresh oil first after you clean the area?

You cannot buy a Titanium Van you will have to option the seats and radio and windows into the van. The one advantage is that you can still have swing doors if you want them. Most of what you want can be optioned in if you can wait for the build. Keep us posted on what you do, sounds like a good build.

Looks like a good choice for your needs. The Major issue is that the transmission fluid level check procedure is not user friendly. You will master it and it should provide good service. My experience is that the fluid in the Transmission works hard so I drain and flush mine at 25000 mi intervals. Welcome aboard.

That's a great Idea Thanks

That has been done by me, although not on the TC Yet.

Fifty 150 is correct , the maximum factory configuration is 7.

You can get to the Bat terminals to use a booster pack by removing the battery cover, I am experienced in this operation!!

Yes they are not the norm, and the ones with swing doors in the back are even harder to find. I was fortunate that a dealer in north eastern VT had exactly the right one in black.

Cool One of these days i need to get to Tremblant , that will be an overnight trip for me at this point.

You are correct that is one of the Major short comings of this vehicle. That having been said the fluid level is always the first thing to check in any issue with an automatic transmission. Any service station has the ability to raise this vehicle and check the level.

You will need an up scale scanner which will give Transmission information. This should give more detailed trans information . How many miles? Has any one checked the fluid level on the car, that is the first thing to do.

Tire Rack can solve your issue if you cannot take it any more !!

If you have the right engine scanner the trans info is all there to see. That's what I use.

Cool but Mt tremblant is close , and Mt Suttton is one of my favorite ski trips!!

Most do but you would be surprised at how many don't and also the number that are missing a hole to adjust the brakes.

The only way to really check Drum Brakes is to pull the wheels and drums. A lot of shops do not seem to want to pull the drums for just an inspection. The other thing to check when the Drums are off is the adjusters . Make sure they are operating , this will assure that all the brakes on the TC are doing there job.

The real issue with the Snow is practice I have driven lots of types of vehicles in the snow over the years. Some are great some are not, but they all can go where you need most of the time. The key is knowing how the vehicle you are in at the time will handle. The only other rule of thumb is knowing when to stay off the roads when the number of idiot drivers rises to and unacceptable level.

I understand but the 1400KM trip would have been an adventure. How far north in Quebec?

I Took a large Dense foam gardening pad from tractor Supply and put it under My slip cover. Much Much better.

Hey you could always take a road trip to Tire Rack, Windsor CT. A short mini vacation and 4 rims as a souvenir !! I used tire rack to source the Winter Alloy's for mine great deal good fit no extra holes to Plug.
