Tint is 1 of those jobs where a lot of people mess up. It looks and sounds easy. Then you find out why they charge what they charge.

Glad to read that you found the solution. Now we can file this for the next owner. This is 1 of those instances where the cheap stuff doesn't work, and you have to use OEM.

You can try to fabricate an intake. Remove the OEM box, then add a cone filter. OEM air box scoops air from front grille. Intake air temperature is about 10 degrees above ambient at freeway speed. An open cone filter will probably give more hot air, as opposed to a cold air intake. Find a shop to Dyno Tune, and you might get something. I don't think there's anything you can do exhaust wise to make the pipe bigger. You can delete the resonator with a straight pipe. You will gain noise.

Goodyear makes the Viva3 only for sale at Walmart. My concern is the load rating being 93H. But let us know how they work out. Inclement weather is right around the corner. They should be fine if you do not carry the GVWR. I would probably spend an extra $25 to have the correct load rating. But that adds another $100 to the out the door cost. I'm looking at those tires that cost around $50. But who knows how reliable or safe those cheap tires are. At 33,000 miles, my OEM tires still look great. I keep them inflated, and rotate them. At this rate, they could last 50,000 miles.

I bought the OBD connector from Amazon. I am not a fan. With Torque Pro, the home screen is unresponsive, the app does not load to work, and then it crashes. With Forscan, it shows that the connector is bad.

After years of trying different lamps on different cars, I have learned a little. Almost every "brand" comes from a handful of factories in Shenzhen, China. That's why most look similar. The factories will produce for different vendors and label the package with different brands. Some of the "brands", are actually the same company, using multiple brand names for market share. Some brands have been around longer, are established, and not "fly by night". Those sellers will be around in case you have a problem. What that usually means is that they will replace your product or refund the purchase so you will not be at a total loss. If you buy something for a lower cost, it probably came from the same factory. If it works, you won't have a problem. The current lamps I am using in my pickup truck and van; the sellers no longer exist under those brand names. They are still working flawlessly. I got lucky. Buying from Amazon, you get the A to Z Guarantee. From eBay, you're not getting that level of product support. So if the listing on Amazon shows a 1 year warranty, and the seller no longer exist, you can still file a claim with Amazon for a refund. Some of the brands which have been around are BeamTech, Yita Motor, JDM AStar, SiriusLED. Not that it means much, but some brands do have their own websites outside of Amazon & eBay, with a product selection guide. Neither Sylvania or Phillips sell LED headlights. https://www.siriusledlights.com/pages/product-result?rq=yr_2016~mk_ford~md_transit-connect~ft_base-model~nm_low-beam-headlight-bulb https://www.beamtechs.com/ https://www.yitamotor.com/pages/product-result?rq=yr_2016~mk_ford~md_transit-connect~px_exterior-lights~kj_titanium-mini-passenger-van-4-door~uc_1-6l-1596cc-97cu-in-l4-gas-dohc-turbocharged

The dealership should be able to call Ford. There's a technical support department.

Stickers add horsepower. Fuzzy dice add torque.

There's a thread with the repair procedure.

They got me with the co-branding and cross marketing. Just did an oil change with the "Ford recommends Castrol" and "Castrol recommends Bosch".

Purchased and submitted rebate on November 03, 2019. I got the check in the mail today, November 12, 2019.

Another frugal find.

A sheriff in CA placed signs on certain lawns, which indicated that occupants of the home were registered offenders and that your kid shouldn't trick or treat there.

You can find custom coach builders all over. Some shops build every vehicle to order. Some shops sell the vehicle with the build. Some shops build your vehicle. Look for shops that pimp your ride, or RV builders. You are only limited by your budget. Your van could be on a TV show, or built by a TV star.

Does she work at Costco? I was just there. Costco worker at the gas pump called the van "creeper white". She said that the Transit Connect looked like I would pull her into the back and nobody would ever see her again.

If you are sitting in your van, doors closed, windows up, watching TV, cold drinks in the fridge, food warming up in the microwave, rooftop air conditioning on, engine running to power it all - is that really camping? Or just another homeless guy living out of a car?

Look at the wiring for worn battery cables or a loose connection. Check out the alternator.

I'm trying to imagine pushing the engine oil dipstick into the transmission vent.

I installed Philips. I am satisfied. They appear to work very well.

Right under the air intake tube, there is a radiator hose. The vent cap is right under the radiator hose. A traditional transmission funnel won't really work because of the radiator hose. Use a transmission funnel with a flexible tube or an offset funnel.

When you jack up the car, you will see the drain plug. Look under your hood. Right under the radiator hose next to the air filter box, you will see the vent cap.
