  1. Between 4000 to 7000 miles. The TC has been on Motorcraft so far. That could change as my other vehicles are on different Oil and if it was time and I have the correct amount of something else it could go in. All the major oil brands are more that adequate for the job . Having the correct amount of clean oil is much more important than the brand. I think that the fancy air cleaners most important improvement is in the internal image of the car owner.
  2. Very nice. Make sure the grounds are good if you are not running a ground wire buss with your distribution box.
  3. The Gen 2 Tc's have two ways the Traction control is switched on and off. If you have the steering wheel information control it is switched on and off there, and if you have the basic model it is a switch on the center console in front of the shifter. The biggest issue I have with the traction control is the low speed operation. If there was a Low speed algorithm and a road speed algorithm, it would be very good.
  4. IF you have a Gen 2 there is a fuse box in the right rear that has ample power for the trailer
  5. I have done a lot of engine transplants on Boat's . The project is a good one. The unknown's can drive up the cost dramatically, make sure you have extra funds so you can finish it. . I think you will end up with a cool rig. Press on
  6. The Van has 48.3 between the wheel house and the wagon Has 46.9 between the wheel house, With the barn door' open one or 2 sheets will be transportable in both version's The long wheelbase wagon version will be an easier thing to find and once the door is closed and you are looking out of the windshield you will get over the mini van look.
  7. Nice! What is your projected Budget for this project. Can't wait, will need lots of pictures.
  8. The plywood will be a test in the wagon version. If you have a utility trailer as I do this is a non issue. Although it is harder to find on the wagon The Barn Doors for me are better choice.
  9. I have an XLT wagon and if you can live with the reduced height and leave the seats in the Full headliner do make a noticeable difference in the sound and noise levels. Having 4 power windows ads Lots to the cars ventilation. You also get Rear Air conditioning to keep things cooler. The Stock Radio has more speakers and better sound.
  10. Great winter vehicle as long as you know how to switch off the traction control.
  11. Chuck should contact E-Trailer, they have at least 3 or four companies that supply a harness listing for the 2016. They could most likely help.
  12. E- trailer has the wiring harness that is plug and play. no splicing, and 1 wire to the rear fuse block. The curt hitch is a very easy install.
  13. This van is a world vehicle and has a metric threaded insert in the door, The domestic designs have a plastic insert that takes a Tec screws. The prep tech just wound the tech screws into the holes. As more world designs arrive they will learn to check.
  14. Very cool don't think that module is available here , have to set that up from the after market. How much is that unit worth there, if available?
  15. It is and yes semi professional. Does your new TC have a brake controller?
  16. This is a very competent tow vehicle. A more likely cause of an accident is a driver confusing this Van with a sports car!
