    Oil

    I haven't been to a dealer except for a warranty recall in 45 years.

    Oil

    I suspect that changing the oil too often was never the cause of early engine failure . The extra cost of too many oil changes is minuscule in the total cost of a vehicle. If the drive-train warranty of the EU transits is 100000 Km the oil change interval will not make a difference. They will weld the hood closed soon!!

  4. I purchased My factory manual from these guy's It comes in PDF form and is complete. The 2017 version is 69.99 . It will come with a Line ticket for your vehicle. https://www.factory-manuals.com/
  5. I have a TPMS tool and it makes the Job a snap.
  6. Just checked and the 2017 Manual is only available as an HTML doc right now. It will be a PDF soon. The 2016 is there as a PDF
  7. Use this link to get to Ford .com Click on the word owner in the top line and then click on Owner's Manual and it will tell you what to do http://www.ford.com/
  8. If you go to ford .com and click owner's you can download the manual for your year Tc. I have gotten several, for different years both gen1 and gen2.
  9. I am in the barn door group for sure. The rear view when helped with the mirrors is enough for me. My other truck has no inside rear view at all
  10. The AGM's are great. You need a smart controller to charge both the House AGM's and the Regular TC battery, The Stock Regulator will not charge both correctly. The AGM's are susceptible to overheating so that must be taken into account. The space of a small rig will make using the battery area for storage of other stuff, So Terminal protection will be necessary.
  11. The only issue with not having the battery in a box is the need to protect the terminals so a major short cannot happen.
  12. Great call on the shift, If that is not right the whole job will suffer. Looks like the pressure plate and the flywheel and the pressure plate will get buffed up. The extra cost when put against the whole project is very small. This project is not a necessity . If it comes out correctly the cost will be worth it. Good show keep us in the loop
  13. Is the shift assembly a cable set up as on most Transverse engine installs? If so the Aftermarket shift is less available.
  14. The Tpms sensors in My Gen 2 do not trigger at 36 lbs so it could work.
  15. If the engines are set up for CNG the valves should last . Not sure if the Gen 1's had the option. The gen 2's had to be ordered with the Propane Cng Head option. Hard Valve seats and up rated valves. The 1.6 Turbo had the valve and valve seat up grade. Have you thought of putting a top cylinder oiler on the Fleet cars?
  16. if you have the roof rails then there are lots of options. The Curt hitch is an easy install and works perfect. The one I put on mine has had lots of use.
  17. Keep me posted on the Drive train Can't wait for more pictures!
  18. Cool . I suspect that if the AC unit was mounted toward the Rear the roof issues would be small. If you have ever looked at the Roof structure of most campers It will not take much to make the structure work. Very nice job on the Van!!
  19. Good looking install and insulation . Your dogs are held in high regard. Looking forward to the AC install and the finish. As the TC originates in Spain and the EU the Metrics would invade even Texas.
  20. Nice. If you can get the OEM Part you should have them put the console in the box also. The direct fit will pay for itself! What are you doing with the Old Power plant?
  21. That is a great question and should be answered before the trek to Alaska.
  22. Very nice . Looks like you have Spring also.
  23. The stock 16 inch wheels are 6.5 wide.with a 50mm offset. Any Picture's mrtn
