I wonder what the rest of the stuff cost

I wonder if the price of his gear box included all the extras that were needed to make it work on the TC that had an autobox. mrtn all you needed was the gearbox it self.

The good thing about the amp is you can set the balance and fade with the amp and set the volume of the booster . If you want to hide the amp to keep the stock look the vol control and balance will control of the radio will still control the sound out put. Hope the mod works out let us know how it goes.

The LWB engine limitations are applied to the passenger models . The Work version is available with both engines in the XL and XLT versions. Could be the extra weight of the LWB Passenger package or just they don't want to make it.

Here we also have the Titanium as a third model here but only on the Wagon and not the Van. The plot thickens.

The US Version has XL or XLT on the Back door rightside

Thanks windguy for getting us back on track. I am very much looking forward to the completed project with numbers and pictures.

UK-Bully welcome, I was going to check his link out but would not accept the terms and conditions. As always Mustang's post speaks for itself

THE Ford Transit Forum "This self centered botish/with only one active admin/moderator, This site has been set on autopilot with no one's at the controls.. Self proclaimed members who have come over from the UK TransitConnect forum with their bully tactics." I need to meet the UK-Bully's

Yes that would be a very good solution for changing the air pressure.

Anytime the pleasure was mine. Stay in touch, hopefully about something else.

They should be able to tell you which seal they replaced. You should get a copy of the work order from the job for your records I understand your frustration.

Keep up The good work Mustang, and Cage B8 looking forward to the finished Install with the part numbers and pictures . I have done lots of things to cars that the parts suppliers are not at liberty to endorse publicly. As for Air bags I have had several vehicles with air bags and having an on board compressor is not necessary. The number of times that the pressure is changed is small and a home compressor or even a bicycle pump will do just fine. Cheers to all waiting for the rest of all the stories that are running at the same time in this Post.

True, but if you are traveling the bearing press will most likely be at home. If good bearings are used they should last at least 40 to 60000 miles and will let you know when they start to go. If you have a long trip planed then you can Put the Front on Jack stands and Run the TC with the wheels up and listen to the hubs. if they are letting go they will let you know.

The wheel bearings are more subject to water intrusion than mileage. One of the hardest parts of the Bearing replacement is the snap ring removal. The bearing press you are looking at will do the job if there is not a lot of rust. There is another option. You pull the wheel knuckles and find a machine shop that will do the press work. this would save a lot of money. Make sure the ABS side of the bearing is correct and take care when pulling the ABS probe.

The CMP is the cam sensor which escobar swapped out. The Cracked sensor was the Crankshaft sensor on the front of the timing chain cover . With the number of times the cover was off its no surprise the Cranks sensor was damaged. Cool Waiting for the victory lap.

I don't have access to the Gen 1 wiring diagram but this could be spliced into the speaker output and split the signal into 4 channels witch would run your 4 speakers Ebay $12.85

I suspect it its the left side again, The right shaft goes from the transmission to a shaft bearing and then to the CV Joint. The left side is a short half shaft and as the wheel goes up and down there is radial motion at the Trans axle. I think the seal is the weak link. The problem has been around longer than the Gen 2 . I wonder what the percentage of units have the problem. The fix for the Escape must not have been the real thing. The Seal on mine has be come a small drip so I check it every 2500 Miles . I have 25987 on the clock now and just about to change the fluid in the gear so I will look at the seal issue again Maybe the new seal that they used is a fix this time. Keep us posted. Unfortunately all big companies are slow to admit a non safety related recall. The possible good news is the Escape did get a recall for the Axle seal

cool could be that. it can't be too serious if it starts and runs well. A scan will tell. Waiting for the end of the story.

hey before you go crazy could it be that the sensor is too near or far from the cam shaft? with the cam moving around could it have hit the tube that that sensor rides in . You have had the valve cover off so many time it could have messed up the distance to the Camshaft. Maybe just wishful thinking on my part. Still in it to the end with you

Correct. If you need to you can put the coil back on and start it to listen for the noise. Try not too drop any thing in the cam shafts and cam chain. it will make a small mess with the oil spray but can yield good information.

Style seems to cost alot.

The do make a Passenger version, only 2 seats like the SWB. But it has a wheel base similar to the LWB. When I got mine the one next to it was a SWB and the Back seat was folded . When I opened the side slider the it took the SWB version out of my consideration. It goes to the different things for different people. Thankfully there are many different ways that Cars and trucks are made. As for the The build and price photos some of the photos in the current Ad are from 2014 and 2015. so much for the accuracy.

With the Valve cover off bump the engine over with the starter to see if anything is too close and clicking. Could the crank position sensor be touching. You are getting very close to the end now great job. You are the go to guy for head work on the gen 1 TC.

I think that different buyers look for different things. I think that what is important can be different for every buyer. As for the Pro Master City the Side sliding door is 7" shorter and with the seat folded the side access is poor. Another thing is the rear suspension is independent technically good in reality too many parts and rubber bushings to wear out.
