If you are going to put a Battery in a tough to service location use an AGM. Vent the box And make sure the battery charge rate is set for AGM voltage.

I can't wait to see if the Traction Control in the Gen 2 responds to shifter position like the gen 1. It would make the feature quite useful. Right now at low speed on icy conditions it puts the operator in Danger. At least there is away to switch it off in the Gen 2 . Winter is coming . When I get to test it I will update

Good info thanks for the post

The TPMS on mine trip the indicator at just below 38 Psi. I keep the pressure at 42 Psi. anything higher and the ride suffers. I have 400 to 500 pounds of tools behind the second seat. Mine being a wagon it is heavy from the start.

Most States have an Obd2 engine scan as part of the inspection and it would not pass. If you live in a state that does not test it would be possible but not Legal.

If the Radial clearance for the Caliper to the wheel is 1/4 to 1/8 and the side clearance is 1/4 you are good to go. As the brake pads wear the caliper will slide toward the Inside of the car making more clearance . Let us know how they go!!

Tire Rack has oem sized 16" wheels both Alloy and Steel. I researched 15 inch wheels to add side wall hight but the size of the front brake calipers makes this impossible.

Cool

The unloaded idle is very nice. I think when shifted into gear and stopped you feel the engine more than a V-6 or V-8. ALL and all very nice

The rear heater boosts the temp of the air supplied from the front. When the AC is engaged the rear heater has its own evaporator to supply the cold air. I am fairly sure that if the AC button is engaged in the front the booster heater is turned off. the temp in the front is set by the temp control in the front and not dependent on turning the AC off. I am going to test this out tommorow and let every one know

Does the way the car feels change if you shift from drive to neutral ? The in gear idle quality 4 cylinder engines with automatic transmissions is noticeably rougher then 6 or 8 cylinder engines with Automatic transmissions. Mine has the same labored idle when the car is stopped and in gear.

Set the heater control on the floor setting fan on three or four. Put the front seats all the way forward so you have better access to check the air flow comming from the two ducts. The air flow should be equal on both sides of the car. If it is not then the ducts in the console could be missing. Aonother sign of the duct being missing is the of the console being very warm when the temp valve is turned into the red. the rear fan supplies air to the vents in door posts and the side vents at the third seat. The electric booster reheats the air to the door post vents and the third seat side vents.. When the front controls are set to the floor and the temp in the red area the rear heater will supply the warm air. Still trying to see how the work van rear heat is blocked from going into the shift area.

Spot on Mrtn

The gen 2 handles very well. I think that the comparison was with the car . I think that the added hight would make a formula one type of suspension have less Directional Stability. As for the side wind, its a box pay attention

Looks like a cool rig Hope that trailer has Brakes Windguy remember its an imperial gallon 20% bigger, here is the review of the Tourneo Connect http.//www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/car-manufactures/ford/10468169/Ford-Tourneo Connect-review.html Let Me know if the link works

The rear heat issue I had was a missing connector duct in the front console feeding the right rear heat duct. the simtoms of this is no air moving from the under seat outlet and the console under the shifter getting very hot when the heat is directed to the floor. Having replaced the missing duct the heat to the back is good and the console temp is now very Moderate. I suspect that there is somthing missing in the heater outlet on the work vans if the console is getting hot. I am going to do more research into the van heater

Not yet on the leak Windguy has and he posted a copy of the work order from the dealer with the parts used and the SSM bulletin number . His post is on page 4 of this topic . The issue I found was a missing piece of the right duct to the rear seat which was allowing the air both hot and cold to empty out in the console area. Is the Ac button engaged when this happens. If it is not engaged then the air will be at the temp of the air entering the vent which could pick up some engine heat. When the AC button is on then the air will be cold .

Tire Rack has Steel Wheels for 62.00 each or Alloys Starting at 83.00. Lots of winter tires also

E-trailer.com then search sway control

Hi guys 103 west43rd does your wiring diagram show where the speaker wires plug together? Does the Oem radio use a control head amp setup?

Mustang you are correct The Curt sway control 40 to 50 Bucks at E-Trailer Does a great job at taming the Freeway Dance of Death. Well worth the money

Nice post!!! who made the bolts? The only question is how close are the curtain Airbags to the Roof chanel Get a tube of Black Silicone and use that to plug the holes.

Go to ford Uk and owners and download the manual You will need the year and model or the Vin . This will get you the fuse diagram Keep us posted

I think the Recirc is more to help the Air Conditioner cool the car fast this could explain why it is disabled in defrost mode.

The console is the same the E brake is in the floor console section If you look at the parts diagram all the duct-work is under the carpet the only things visible are the last two pieces in the parts diagram part number 01454. These vents are only visible where they come up through the rug. If there is an air leak it will definitely be at the joint where the carpet goes under the console cover. If the work van does not have the under seat vents then the heat outlet has to be blocked and if it is not air tight then the heat will spill out into the console. I was able to pull the plastic fastener and move it out enough to get the duct in ( insert pain and Swear words in at this point) As for my guess it could be the right ducts ran out and the car moved down the line.with out a notation , or it was a nice day and the Spaniard went to lunch. The air flow to the second row is now good and I am thinking of away to improve the heat delivery for the booster heater keep me posted on what you find out.
