    The tires TPMS tool is available from several company's. When you put the TC in learn mode you trigger the sensor from the left front around the car ending at the left rear. The tool will give you the tire pressure and the sensor Id number and the battery condition. The 245/55/18 is 1.2 % bigger on the circumference, but gives up 23% on the side wall height . The Change will not be great. Make sure the tires have enough of a load rating for the TC..

    There is a Canadian product (Corrosion Free ) which is a very waxy oil spray that provides a very good flexible coating . It seems to soak into the surface rust very well.

    This is the one I am running, I suspect that the Compressors of both units are very similar, with the same power requirements. During cool down and if the unit gets hit by the sun the amount of power increases alot. https://www.amazon.com/43-Portable-Compact-Refrigerator-Freezer/dp/B0012EGZ9S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497129469&sr=8-1&keywords=Edgestar+Fridge

    The 900 watts are going to require lots of batteries. Most house sized Solar panels 36X54 "s put out just over 120 watts. Watts are Watts no mater what the voltage. I have a Edgestar Fridge, Freezer and it works very well. It Draws 5 amps and it too will drain the battery.

    If you do a good job , and Air out the TC There should not be a problem. The insulation as much to keep the Van cool as to keep it warm .

    If the road trip was worthwhile and the company was good, How the music was played and the sound quality were a very small part of the road trip experience!! mrtn I still have an 8 track and a recorder if you ever need to experience what you missed.!

    Diesels are always in the process of dissembling them selves.

    Hopefully only the car got messed up.

    Can't help with the remote start. But the door cards are the same as the Passenger's and they come in a very reasonable looking black plastic . Much better and more finished.

    Oil

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

    Oil

    G B L replied to jshelby861's topic in Gasoline

    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!!

    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/

    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.

    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

    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.

    The only issue with not having the battery in a box is the need to protect the terminals so a major short cannot happen.

    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
