  1. These caps, the stock nuts, just bend the tabs until they’re snug.
  2. They snap over the stock steelie lug nuts.
  3. Sounds like it could be a GEM issue. Have you disconnected the battery (both terminals) and bled off any residual voltage?
  4. My ‘18 didn’t have a glass in the left slider when I got it ? Merging into traffic just using the mirror was just uncomfortable, especially after my ‘14 was equipped with the glass. I had a local glass company install one a week or so ago. Much better, much safer. The Ford/Carlite glass was $195, installation $45. Worth every cent!
  5. I tried the suggestions with mixed results. The “-/magnifying glass” tip works great. The display delay does work but the camera still turns off after a short delay. I don’t have Sync 3 only Sync. Model year changes I guess. Oh well....
  6. Had 4 sets on my ‘14, averaged 50K */- each set, no problems at all. Rotated every 7500 mile oil change, 90% highway miles.
  7. www.car-part.com Should be cheap enough since it’s not a high demand item. Shop around.
  8. I read that on here somewhere but guess I didn’t relate it to the neutral difference. I’ll have a look at that. Thanks.
  9. I’m about 3 weeks in on my 2018 and have a couple questions. 1- the screen is considerably dimmer than my 2014 was. Any adjustments to brighten it up? 2- on the 2014 when going from reverse to neutral the camera would stay on, the 2018 doesn’t. The 2014 allowed me to park (with the brake up) and keep an eye on what’s happening behind me. I miss that. Any comments? I think I’ve read all the camera posts and not seen references to my questions. My screen does show the minus/magnifying glass discussed elsewhere so I’ll have to play with that now. Thanks in advance for any insight.
  10. Thanks! I especially like the reflector replacement lights. I’ll have to find a pair suitable for that or do you have a link to the ones you used?
  11. I went with the Ranger/PoPo center caps on my ‘18 also, am leaving the wheels black though. Wish I had located the posts about them when I had my black ‘14.
  12. Throw up a photo of the outside if you will. I’m going to mod my spare set with some rear warning lights as soon as I get an opportunity,
  13. Just an update on my post on this subject. The seal obviously worked on my leaking problem and at 71800 miles the trans is still soft going from 2 to 3 but it doesn't seem any worse.
  14. We are misunderstanding. My current TC IS a 2014 with the 2.5L engine. My last one was a 2010 with the 2.0L engine. My 2014 will blow the doors off of a Gen 1 and gets better MPG's.
  15. Geez! It's been a long two weeks! I got it on AUGUST 8 not October.... I got my 2010 in October. Yes, it's 95% highway driving but I only work 3 days a week. I'll average 1,000 a week. That ciphers out 'bout right. Johnnyguy, the in-car MPG calculator averages around 27 and I drive it like I stole it! I can "grandmaw" it and it'll max out at 31 but that's not a tank full average. I can't baby it that long! (singing " I can't drive 55") That's about 200-250 miles. Thanks bx77! It's hard to keep clean but it sure looks good when it is. Autobell has a $24.95 a month unlimited exterior was and hand dry that I'm seriously considering for the winter months. I washed it this afternoon, 45 degrees and dried it by a blast up the highway! That $24.95 is sounding better and better!
  16. I want a wrap-around grille guard. We sell Setina police push bars/grille guards but they don't make them for the '14 TC. Aries made them for the Gen 1 TC's but their dealers say no to the '14. Anyone anywhere seen one? I've already had a truck musflap and a recap tread fly up into the front end. The flap knocked the bumper cover loose and the tread impacted the cover also and broke a fog light. I do not want to see what a deer does to it!!!
  17. Likewise. When the nozzle clicks off, out it comes. No smell.
  18. I got it mid-October It has 17316 miles Leaking from left axle seal, 1 QT low on fluid, polished axle shaft and replaced seal. Still shifts just like it did when I took it in, notes say shift problem non-existant. When I went to pick it up I waited 15-20 minutes for "my" "Service Advisor" to come to the write-up area. He was paged 3 times and I was left standing there......So I went to the check-out window, they retrieved my van and I left. ill be back.........
