  1. And that is a red color car. Suspect was seen North-bound on Bayshore, in the no. 2 left turn lane, at the corner of Geneva, where Brisbane, Daly City, and San Francisco all border. Last seen turning left onto West-bound Geneva, entering Daly City.
  2. He did advise to clean the terminals?????? Point taken. None of us would disconnect the battery without 1st plugging in a memory save device. Wouldn't want to lose all the presents on the radio buttons.
  3. That could amusing. Like explaining to a child why the grass is green. Most of us missed all of that. Maybe we should invite him back.
  4. Of turn speaker wiring up the A-Pillar, you can install speakers in the overhead shelf or the headliner.
  5. Interesting to see that my driving is at the low end of what Ford's algorithm considers to be normal, and at the high end of severe. My last IOLM was 7,500 miles. In the past, without the IOLM, I always followed the severe duty maintenance schedule. I guess nobody has seen extreme drive cycle, with IOLM activation between 3,000 - 5,000 miles. Without the IOLM, I could have been one of those people who went for 10,000 miles or a year between oil changes. I figure it is a new car with full synthetic oil. No reason why I can't. IOLM says otherwise.
  6. I don't blame you. Lift is a luxury item. It's not the cost of the lift. It's the cost of the real estate you need to install the lift.
  7. So he buys a new car, just so that he can post online in another forum. Just doesn't make sense. And isn't that car just a Jeep labeled version of the Fiat 500X?
  8. You're very lucky to have a lift. How often do you check the transmission fill level?
  9. Sounds like a lot of work. Glad that worked out. Another fix for the information archives. But chances are, the next guy with the same problem, won't do a search. He will just post that he has the problem. And someone else will tell him to use the search feature, without bothering to help him, or even link this post. Just like on every other forum.
  10. Just switching out an 02 sensor doesn't fix the problem. You need to figure out why you are running rich.
  11. Get the codes read. You are in "limp mode"
  12. Traditional push bars mount to a solid frame. A unibody car lacks the frame to absorb the impact. You can probably fabricate something just for aesthetics. It will not be functional. Look at https://publicsafety.gorhino.com/ You may be able to adapt one of their products.
  13. Perhaps all of those vans were involved in some sort of front end collision, the headlights were never replaced, and now they are leaking. Just something to consider.
  14. If the wipers aren't sweeping, and the liquid does not spray.....chances are that your switch is bad. Or maybe the connection is bad at the harness. I don't think that the pump and the wiper motor could both have failed together.
  15. While you're fueling up, try not to open the passenger side sliding door.
  16. Is anyone following the IOLM? If so, how many miles does your van allow you to go between oil changes? Or are you just changing oil when you want? How did you determine your oil change interval? Used oil Analysis? Because you've always changed oil every 3,000 miles?
  17. Stay away from the shade tree types. Looks like you can tackle this project on your own. You already have tools and enough knowledge to replace the spark plugs and COPs. You may even find an online tutorial or video, since the same engine is used on other small cars.
  18. I'm waiting to see how your Triax fluid holds up also. Are you planning to send in a sample for used oil analysis? My brother in law's Acura transmission went out. A lot of people are aware that with Honda Acura, the transmissions are okay with the 4 cylinder engines, but not quite so strong with the extra power of a 6 cylinder engine. I asked him about the transmission fluid. He never serviced it. Which is like most people who are sold a car with a lifetime transmission fluid.
