Is it only the idle? Do you notice the issue at other times? Is the AC on?

Do you have access to a scanner? The idle is set by the PCM.

The more fluid you run through the cleaner. I have done mine twice and after 12-13 the fluid is pretty clear.

Using alternator to charge batteries
G B L replied to DPL646's topic in Accessories and Modifications
If You you get the right smart regulator for the vehicle Alternator the house battery charging function is automatic. The engine battery and the house battery will get the proper charge from one Alternator mounted on the engine.

Using alternator to charge batteries
G B L replied to DPL646's topic in Accessories and Modifications
The way the alternator Charging is controlled is buy voltage. If you get the right set up the even with the Headlight draw the house batteries will get most of the Charge with the right regulator the engine battery will only get Just what it needs . All the batteries Step back the charging amperage quite rapidly as the Battery voltage rises. The only way to get the batteries fully charged with the engine running is time, lots of time -
The path for the siphon tube into the tank is the biggest deterrent to that type of theft. The biggest worry for me is some one pouring a contaminated liquid into the tank. Filling the tank with medium flow does a good job getting the tank full.

Yes it does. So I guess I will have to make my TC Last.

I already own one of those,never again! So when it came time for the TC I checked.

The reason i first looked at the TC was the Barn Doors, All the other small passenger vans did not have this option. The second thing I checked was how hard it was to change the headlight bulbs!!

Help me decide, 2nd row Buckets or Bench?
G B L replied to Tom899's topic in Buying, Leasing, Ordering & Owner Impressions
With all the seats folded in the LWB Version the area is completely flat with no gaps if you have the Bench Seat option. The Right side seat folds and slides forward for the Third seat access. If a flat cargo area is important the Bench will be a good choice. I have the Third seat folded flat most of the time for the general clutter I carry, it provides a great wall to stop the forward migration of the stuff. -
Very good Layout. Nice build Job.

If you get a long wheel base wagon the rear fan blows through a second AC evaporator. This makes the ac completely acquit.

It could be the pads braking in, or Ford's changing the pad material spec. Be careful about the Dust covers. They will make the brakes run hotter and that could affect the pad life and or the wheel bearing life. If is really is a bother a different set of pads would eliminate the problem.

The Real question before a switch is , Did they put the reinforcing in the door opening for both sets of hinges or are they Vehicle specific. The hinge mounting location are reinforced. The 270 doors would be a nice feature. On the Gen 1 it looks like it is the hinge and the magnetic door stop that would be needed.

This is what Page 134 of my owner's manual say's. I think the rating has more to do with Vehicle stability then any other factor. Maximum Load Weights Do not exceed the following maximum roof rack load weights. Maximum Load lb (kg)* Variant Wagon - short 132 lb (60 kg) wheel base with panoramic roof panel Wagon - short 165 lb (75 kg) wheel base with metal roof panel Wagon - long 165 lb (75 kg) wheel base Van 165 lb (75 kg) *Evenly distribute the load on the roof rack.
