JewDee, Lots of youtube videos of Transit Connect conversions. Lots of ideas out there. The hardest part is deciding on what you want, then planing it all out.

I know just enough about window tint, after having watched the pros do it, to know that I would mess it up myself. They make it look easy. Ever eat in a place with an exhibition kitchen? I like to sit right at the counter, talk to the cooks, and get to know them. They make those gourmet meals look easy. Then I try to do it, and mess it up. Some things I would tackle without hesitation. But it's always the little projects that turn out to be the hardest. Plumbing, electrical, carpentry, roofing; not a problem......but a simple paint job or gardening project could leave you with a messed up yard & paint all over your carpets. Cold air intake, bolt on exhaust, j-mod on the transmission, lift kits.....piece of cake. Tear out the OEM fan & install electric fans. No problem. Change underdrive pulley on the engine. No problem. Upgrade the cooling system. You bet. Install off-road lights. No problem. Wire in emergency flashers. No problem. Install communications via Motorola base unit. No problem. Install a battery isolator, run a line to the trunk, mount a second battery, then hook up an air compressor and portable welder. Sure, piece of cake. Fabricate a bench seating system to carry 9 people in the back of a pickup truck. Yeah. But I'm not tinting windows. That , is where I draw the line.

I'm wondering if the bearings, transmission, and other issues will crop up on the current generation.

2 factors of visibility. People seeing you. You seeing the road. Ideally, you want both. Same amount of labor involved. Cost variant will be parts. For your 32" light bar, have you considered mounting it above the windshield?

I agree. It's usually not the oil that fails you. Water pumps, timing belts, thermostats, pulleys, belts, hoses......all lead you sitting on the side of the road. Not to mention transmissions going out, brake system failures, steering pumps, suspension parts, rack & pinion......... Just about the only thing that I've never broken was the driveshaft. But those break also. It's just that I've never broken one.

"Okay Google" doesn't work better.

On almost vehicle I've ever driven, the OEM fog lights don't do anything. Even if in theory, they are correctly mounted in the lower corners of the front of the vehicle. I have had good results with certain aftermarket installations using different housing and lamp combinations. Otherwise, it's like all those lighting mods that kids do on Fast n Furious Hondas. When you look at them, they're bright and look good. But from behind the wheel, your visibility is not enhanced. Rear fog lights are designed for just that purpose. If for whatever reason, the person behind you can't see your car or all the other lights on your car, then the rear fog light is meant to announce your presence on the road ahead of them. The front fog lights are meant to project downward and in a flood pattern. The theory is that the light will hit the ground directly in front of, and around the front of your vehicle, so that you can see the road, lane dividers, and reflectors as your headlights are "bouncing" off the blanket of fog. Fog lights do not throw very far. That's not the purpose. They are suppose to help you see the road, so that you can stay on the road. And, you're already suppose to be driving a lot slower, so added distance is not an issue. Fog rises off the ground, so any other lighting will simply bounce back at you. In CA, we have something called a "Tule Fog". This is where my fog lights have either worked, or not worked. My best results were with Hella brand lights, running 100W lamps.

"What kind of oil are you using?' I remember hearing that as a kid, when my dad and uncles worked on their cars on the weekends. As a teenager, I got all kinds of conflicting information, from every source. Don't use synthetics, they will make your engine leak. Only use synthetic, it's better and your engine won't leak. Never mix synthetics with conventional oil, your car wasn't made to do that. Synthetics are just a waste of money. Don't waste your money on conventional oil, because you'll pay for it when your engine fails. Conventional oil leaves sludge in your engine. Conventional oil is better for the gaskets and seals. Synthetic oil is better for the gaskets and seals. Change every 3000. Change every 5000. Change every 7500.

You couldn't simply "google" your way into any information (reliable or otherwise). In today's computer age, with search engines, we can now come up with even more conflicting and unreliable information to muddle the facts.

Technology was different. Modern vehicles are built to a different standard. Engines have a different tolerance. 20 years ago, the family car was a Taurus. Would you drive a Taurus today? Back in those days, I put 10W40 into just about everything, Clinton was re-elected, I wore tighter pants, was 20 lbs lighter, and had more hair on my head. OBD II wasn't mandatory in all cars in The United States until 20 years ago. Let's assume that the control group factor is the car and the factory fill of oil. Every one of us drives our cars just a little bit differently. We are the variable. Some guys can go an entire year without hitting 10,000 miles. Other guys can do that in a few months. My company car sees about 200 miles a day. The only real way to know what is happening under your hood, is to submit your oil for used oil analysis. Extreme, right? But that takes the guessing right out of it. http://www.blackstone-labs.com/do-i-need-a-tbn.php What is a TBN, and who uses it? In short, a TBN (total base number) measures the amount of active additive left in a sample of oil. The TBN is useful for people who want to extend their oil usage far beyond the normal range. The TBN of a used oil can aid the user in determining how much reserve additive the oil has left to neutralize acids. The lower the TBN reading, the less active additive the oil has left. Note: You do not need to send in a virgin sample for us to run a TBN on your oil. Some people like to send a virgin sample anyway, to find out exactly where the TBN of a specific oil starts out. The cost of a virgin oil sample plus TBN is the same as a regular oil sample plus TBN. An oil's function is to lubricate, clean, and cool the engine. Additives are added to the oil to enhance those functions. The TBN will start out reading in the 6.0 to 14.0 range (depending on whether the oil is for gas or diesel engines). When you first start using the oil the TBN tends to drop sharply. Then it levels out and drops more slowly after that. A low TBN test result, meaning very little additive is left, is down around 1.0 or lower. Scientifically speaking, the TBN is one of two "neutralization number" tests run on oils. The TAN (total acid number), which is used for hydraulic oils, is the other. The TBN measures how much base (as in, a base vs. an acid) additive is in the oil to offset the deleterious effects of acids coming into the oil from combustion and other sources. However, the TBN is not the only factor to consider when determining how long an oil can be used. If wear accumulations and insolubles in the oil build up and become abrasive, we would recommend changing out the oil, no matter how high the TBN reading. Case Scenarios Case #1 Joe Owner has a new engine and wants to determine how long he can keep a fill of oil in place. He sends in a sample of his virgin oil (with no miles on it) and a sample of his used oil (with 3,000 miles on it) for an analysis and a TBN test. The virgin oil has a TBN reading of 12.0. His used oil has a TBN reading of 9.5, and his wear levels are fine. Joe decides to leave his current fill of oil in place, and resamples in another 3,000 miles. This time, the TBN reads 6.0, still an average amount, but his wear accumulations and insolubles have built up to a level that causes the oil to become abrasive. We recommend that Joe change out this oil. Case #2 Jill Owner has a new engine and wants to determine how long she can keep a fill of oil in place. She sends in a sample of her virgin oil (with no miles on it) and a sample of her used oil (with 3,000 miles on it) for analysis and a TBN test. The virgin oil has a TBN reading of 7.0. Her used oil has a TBN of reading of 5.0, and her wear levels are fine. Jill decides to leave this fill of oil in place, and she resamples in another 3,000 miles. This time, the TBN reads 4.5, and her wear levels are still low. Jill decides to leave her oil in place a bit longer, and she resamples in another 1,500 miles. This time, the TBN reads 2.5, and although wear accumulations are still normal, we recommend she change out the oil. Do you need the TBN test in your maintenance routine? Only you can answer that question. We offer a TBN test on any gasoline or diesel oil sample for an additional $10.

The OEMs do a lot of things that only make sense to them, but not to us.

How about placing the bikes in upside down? Then the are standing on the handlebar & seat.......it might work.

mrtn, I can only guess that European motor oil is produced to a different spec than U.S.A. motor oil. Here, the oil change intervals are at much lower mileage points.

Greetings Toy Man, Wow! You're getting great mileage. I'm getting about 10 MPG less than you are.

It seems like the electronics on these new vehicles is getting so sophisticated, that it's a real headache to do anything. I'm glad it worked out for you, finally, after a little experimenting. You're absolutely correct. Hopefully, your post will save others a lot of headache and heartache. We're just a bunch of owners trying to do-it-yourself. What do they do at aftermarket upfitters? What special advantages or special tools do "the pros" have when it comes to installing aftermarket electronics?

Could you imagine if you did that manually? I don't see turning the engine on & off repeatedly as something I would want to do. But it must be great for posting those MPG numbers on the window sticker.

What kind of camera did you install?

And since oil changes are always a hot topic, here are a couple of things I found online. http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a3240/confessions-of-a-car-dealership-service-manager-6311261/ Confessions of a Car Dealership Service Manager If you've ever felt you got a raw deal taking your car in for service at the dealer, our anonymous service manager says that may well be true. But he also cites a number of reasons to take your car to the dealer for work anyway—and tells how not to get the short end of the stick when you do. He should know. He's spent 23 years as a manager for brands as varied as Nissan, Ford and Mitsubishi, and has also served as a warranty administrator and customer relations manager for multiple dealerships. MOST POPULAR The Making Of The Mighty Terrascout Gigantic Remote-Control Fighter Jet Explodes In Midair How A Navy Destroyer Can Beat A Missile Attack What's a good reason to take your car to the dealer for routine maintenance, rather than to the guy with two bays and a private shop? Let's use Ford as an example. If you own a Ford vehicle, the Ford dealership will have Ford-trained technicians who work on Ford vehicles 95 to 100 percent of the time. During that time they will use Ford resources and Ford training to repair your vehicle correctly, and (ideally) they take Ford classes and attend Ford schools to keep up on their knowledge. With the other guy, it's a tossuphe may work on two Fords one week and not see another for a month. Also, on regular maintenance it can sometimes be cheaper, not more expensive. To get an oil change and tire rotation where I live, the Ford dealer is $38.95 plus tax, and Sears wants $75. So it's not necessarily more expensive, and they know more about your car. Any other reason? Often times at Jiffy Lube or wherever they're paid by the hour, and they're not necessarily trained to know your vehicle. And that can cost you your engine. If I could get half of what I've charged customers to replace engines that were screwed up by Jiffy Lube and Walmart, for such things as not enough oil, too much oil, the wrong weight of oil, wrong filter, loose filter or any combination of the above, I could have retired a long time ago. There's no point to spending $30,000 to $40,000 on a new vehicle and then trying to go cheap on the maintenance. What's an example of a common tactic by dealers to pad the bill? So-called shop supplies. That is, and always has been, the biggest crock of crap I've ever seen, and it's been going on for years! It is essentially similar to going to a nice restaurant, getting your check and finding you've been billed for napkins and silverware, which are necessary costs of the food service business. Shop supplies include, but are not limited to, shop rags, lubricantsthis isn't the motor oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid and steering fluid they might put in your carand the cost of disposing of used oil. These are just some of the necessary costs of doing the auto repair business. Some dealers do not charge for them, but most do, and what is considered shop supplies is at the discretion of each individual dealer. I've seen a customer get billed for $30 in shop supplieson top of their estimatefor the use of three shop rags! For that price, I can buy 20 rolls of shop towels at Auto Zone. If you got a bill that had shop supplies on it, what would you do? Ask to see exactly what that means. Ask to see the precise items they actually used. Challenge them on it. You might not get them to knock it off your bill, but you should try. You also said that dealer service departments too often recommend fluid flushes and replacements that aren't called for by the owner's manual. The dealers cite the "severe use" schedule that doesn't apply to the vast majority of us. Should drivers simply veto a service or fluid replacement that isn't recommendedin the owner's manualunder the normal or light-duty service requirements? Yes, you should go by what the owner's manual recommends for normal use. And, yes, this is a common practice, and I hate to admit that. When I was a customer relations manager, I had a service manager who would [bate people into buying the fluid changes] by showing new fluid versus used fluid. She made more than I did just in flush commissions, but had the worst customer satisfaction surveys. I have always stuck to the manufacturer recommendations, and my Escape has over 310,000 miles on it. Less than five percent of drivers operate their cars under conditions that would be deemed "severe." The ones who do are usually taxi or pizza-delivery drivers, or those who frequently take their SUV or truck off-road. What's the single best piece of advice you'd offer to a friend about servicing his car at the dealer? A dealer won't come right out and say it, but if you have your regular service work done at the dealer... (because warranty work pays the dealer a lot less than service work), your value to the dealership increases. Here's an example: Suppose your vehicle goes out of warranty and a week later you have a catastrophic failure. If you have shown loyalty to the dealership by using them for regular service work, they will be more inclined to help youas opposed to the person who buys a car there and takes it somewhere else for regular service, and only brings it in for warranty work. So it's about building a relationship with the dealer? Yes. You need to know that dealers make very little on car sales. And warranty service doesn't pay as much as regular maintenance. But if they see that record that you've been loyal to them, they'll likely be loyal to you. What's a sign that a dealership doesn't value that relationship? Constant turnover at the service desk. You should get the name of the person at the desk. You should ask for him or her. If that person's different every time, it's not a good sign. Good auto service work starts with a relationship between the advisor and the customer, and that cannot be obtained when the customer sees a new advisor every time he comes in. I always knew the person's car, I pulled up its history, and that's something people appreciate. But if that person is new or is always changing, they don't know you or your car stuff gets missed, and that's typically not good for you or your car. How come a dealer might charge you 30 percent more for a part than you can find it for at AutoZone? It's one of the hang-ups I've always had about domestic automakers. You can often buy their parts cheaper at the auto parts store than you can at the dealership parts counter. And the dealer knows this, but he can't do anything about it. The problem is that even though that's true, the dealer doesn't want to install a part that he didn't source, because if it fails, how does he warranty it? So what do you do as the customer? There's not a lot you can do. They can install the part if you went out and bought it, but most won't. Speaking of AutoZone, you can take your car there to have them read what a Check Engine light means. How accurate will that reading be? Check Engine lights are big moneymakers for dealers and also the bane of a service manager's existence. Anyone can use a code reader. But what does the code mean? For every code there need to be additional diagnostics. I've had customers come in and tell me to swap some part, because they're sure it's the problem. But all that is is a really expensive guess. They might be right 10 to 20 percent of the time, close 20 percent of the time, and dead wrong 60 percent of the time. I had a customer go through six oxygen sensors when all it was was a shorted wire. What's the smartest thing you can buy from the dealer? A brand-name extended service contract. So if you're buying a Ford, get a Ford contract. If it's a Toyota, buy the Toyota contract. The opposite is also true. Never buy the extended service contract that's generically offered through the dealer but isn't backed by the brand of car they sell. How come? Because the people who fulfill the generic contracts are paid by how little service they have to do. So they fight the dealer on every penny. They'll want to see the entire labor record on the car. They won't want to pay for parts. They'll fight on the cost of the labor. In the end, the customer is going to have to eat some of that cost, even though the contract supposedly covers the car. What's the worst day of the week to get your car serviced? Friday afternoon after lunch, because the service department is trying to push out as many vehicles as possible. Maybe a car has been there since Monday waiting on parts. Maybe there are a few cars like that. Then people pour in around lunchtime wanting oil changes. And there are the cars there already with appointments, and everyone's in a rush to get it all done. Make an appointment for a Monday morning as early as possible. It's a lot more orderly, and they'll do a better job. http://www.ourridelife.com/2014/06/05/how-a-40-oil-change-at-a-ford-dealer-cost-240-and-how-to-avoid-it/ Doing Oil Changes Yourself is One Way to Avoid Being Taken My wife recently took our family car to get a $40 oil change (I always change the oil in my Porschemyself, but haven’t done it on our family car). The car is a 2013 Ford Explorer that we have been taking to the dealer for such maintenance since new (the place where we bought the car offered all maintenance for free, but we have since moved out of the area, so now pay for it). To get the oil changed she went to Future Ford in Clovis, California. The service was for 20,000 mile maintenance. While there they recommended changing the air filter (which was fine) and they mentioned that the car missed its 15,000 mile Fuel Induction Cleaning. She agreed to all of this thinking that the Fuel Induction Cleaning was a Ford recommended maintenance item. She did not know what the cleaning actually did and thought that they were taking apart the fuel system and cleaning everything by hand. Of course when I heard of this I said, “we needed what?” In case you aren’t familiar with a Fuel Induction Cleaning (sometimes also called Fuel Injector Cleaning), the dealership ran some product through the engine that is supposed to clean off carbon deposits, etc. It is questionable what affects this “snake oil” actually has on the engine, either negative or positive. By the time I heard about this the service had already been done and that $40 oil change had quickly become over $240. $170 of this price was for the Fuel Induction Cleaning. After getting all the information, I contacted Future Ford and let then know my wife was led to believe that this was a Ford maintenance item, but after a check in the owner’s manual I verified that this was not Ford recommended. I also included my intentions to write about this situation (and thanks for reading it). I contacted them through their website and apparently I got their attention as they responded that evening letting me know they would look into it the next day. The next morning we were notified that they would be refunding the Fuel Induction Cleaning in full and the service manager clarified that it was a dealer recommended service, not manufacture recommended. This problem isn’t just with Ford dealerships, either. A friend of mine had a similar thing happen when he took his Chevrolet to a GM dealership. Once he realized what it was he wanted a refund, but didn’t get anywhere with that. We reached out to the Ford Motor Company to get a statement as to what they think of such service being represented as if it is a factory recommendation. Below is their response to our request. I do want to point out that this is not an issue with all dealerships. We bought our SUV at Perry Ford in San Luis Obispo, California and nothing like this was ever mentioned when doing recommended maintenance. Beyond that they offered a three year 36,000 mile all maintenance package, so we never had to pay for maintenance. Owning a Porsche I have also dealt with quite a few great dealerships, such as Porsche of Fresno. I have had topnotch service whenever I have needed to take my car to the dealership (it does cost more, but the service is second to none and I do most maintenance myself on the Porsche). We are happy to get the refund, but what of other people that don’t have a popular blog or press contacts to use to help get such results? What can you do to guard from this? Do all the maintenance you can yourself: If you are able to then do most maintenance on your car yourself. There may be cases, such as some leases, where you must use a dealer’s service department. However, if at all possible, doing the job yourself is always best. Take your owner’s manual into the shop: Your owner’s manual outlines the recommended maintenance, so bring it with you and check that what is being recommend is in the book. Bring a knowledgable car enthusiasts: If you don’t know much about cars it is best to bring someone who does. If I had gone with my wife, then I would have said no to this service in the first place. This whole thing turned out fine for us, but if you don’t have a blog with 30,000+ regular readers and a bunch of industry contacts what can you do after something like this has already happened? Well, we are here to help. Just contact us using our contact form with all the details of your automotive shop issue and we’ll work hard to get everything resolved for you. All we ask is that we are able to write about what happened. So, be careful when you take your car to any shop and double check everything that you are told. And if you find a good honest shop, keep going there as they are worth their weight in gold.
