For whatever reason, different cars are popular in different parts of the world. The USA may be the only market on earth with as many pickup trucks sold. Pickup trucks, especially 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, and 1 ton trucks just aren't privately operated in most of the world. Who would buy a big truck like that in Tokyo, Hong Kong, or Saigon? Same way the mini-van is the pimp mobile in Asia, where every gangster movie shows an entire mob pouring out of a mini-van for the climactic machete fight scene.

My mileage with every fill-up is 16 - 17 MPG. I use air conditioning, but most people do. I have very bad stop and go driving. Up to an hour of traffic to go 6 miles across town. You have no idea what it is like to sit at a green light, because of gridlock. On that note, the same drive conditions in the F-150 gets about 10 - 12 MPG. Now you have to also factor in California fuel being E-10, and that we drive with California reformulated fuel. Not only do we have 10% ethanol, there are also other additives to water down the energy content. Watch out. E-15 fuel is right around the corner. https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/hybrid-electric/a11687/four-things-to-know-about-e15-15096134/ Four Things to Know About E15 E15 fuel has been certified for sale in the United States and is slowly beginning to show up at filling stations. Here's a quick rundown of what you need to know about this new fuel option.

Black tape eliminated the check engine lights of many cars.

Wow! $70. That is expensive. I think the last time that I bought a Haynes manual, it was $14.95. I read it under the blankets, with a flashlight, like a nudie magazine.

I wonder if the Haynes Manual for the 2014+ is available yet.

That would probably depend on who you buy the partition from. Every manufacturer makes something just a little bit different.

I always liked going down there for the Casinos in Laughlin, NV. I get a real kick out of The London Bridge at Lake Havasu.

Flowerman, From looking at vehicle collision parts listing, it appears as if there are different plastic lower bumper covers. Just order the bumper cover with the foglights. You will get the holes already in place, along with the mounting tabs. Then buy the correct size fog light to mount in the OEM location. Set up a wire run from your battery, to a fuse, to a relay. You will be all set. 1 BUMPER ASY - FRONT. Bumper cover. w/fog lamps, primed. BT1Z17D957GA Left; OES Part #: 4F9Z15200AAOrRight; OES Part #: 4F9Z15200AA

Here is a schematic which shows relocation of the spare tire, but shows nothing about the exhaust and suspension.

That may give him a lifted look, and raise the van by an inch. But it really does not solve the problem of heavy load on his springs. Who is selling you the power lift? Is that company performing the installation? Does this company configure and sell entire vehicles? Most of the companies that build out wheelchair access vans for transport companies have schematics for installation which include workarounds for the exhaust, suspension, et cetera. Maybe ask the company selling you the device what they recommend for suspension. Or contact a couple of the coach builders who do custom conversions, and ask them what they do with Transit Connect conversions.

On a 2016, you will not be able to buy anything over-the-counter. Custom fabrication will be necessary.

I believe that Transit Connect is the only cargo van to offer a liftgate option. I always preferred the barn doors. My Dad said that he wanted the liftgate since you never see them on cargo vans, and you can stand under it while it's raining. The old guy's wisdom proved true. Within the first few weeks of having the van, there was a big storm, and I stood under the liftgate. Kept me dry as I worked.

It is slightly turbo charged........

All new cars sold are now required to have the backup camera. My model year did not have the camera option. Just an AM/FM. That is all that it does. Literally, AM/FM. There is an auxiliary line in. You can plug in any audio device you want. For most people, with a modern smart phone, you can connect the phone head phone jack to the AM/FM auxiliary line in jack with a cable. This would allow you to control your music from your phone, and also play the audio from your phone call over the vehicle's speakers. You can play all the MP3 you want, with a MP3 player which broadcast to the AM/FM radio over an FM signal. Most of these players also connect to your phone's Bluetooth, which allows you to use your phone hands free. Most models will use a microSD card for loading music, and also offer USB ports, which will solve the problem of not having USB ports. These are very inexpensive and can easily be found on Amazon and eBay.

The seat belt chime can be turned off. That's usually in the owners manual. The key in the ignition chime turns off when you remove the key.

What is a "SWMBO"? Is that a "code" of some sort, used on a modern "hook up app"? When is expected delivery of your vehicle?

The idea is to change the washer with every oil change. That being said, you could get away with using it again. Eventually, it will start to leak. With the "skid plate" on the bottom of the van, you won't see the oil on your driveway......you won't even know it's leaking......until the next time you do an oil change. I know some guys who swear that you can reuse those washers if you flip it everytime. I saw a Honda where the drain plug was stripped and rounded off, there was blue Loctite everywhere around the drain hole,. and the washer was smashed and deformed. Oil change every 3,000 miles since it was new.....always by the same shop. A shop!!! The owner of the shop actually told me that they started using Loctite because it was leaking, the drain plug was all beat up from them using air tools to try to get the plug on tighter to stop the leaking. Every time they used an air tool to tighten the drain plug, it smashed & deformed the washer even more. Of course, they had to use more torque to remove the drain plug at every oil change. This guy actually told me that they were applying 50 ft lbs of torque on the drain plug. Dude swears that they did everything so that the engine wouldn't leak oil. I believed him. Then I asked him why he didn't use a new washer at every oil change. He couldn't answer that. I got a new drain plug and washer. That car doesn't leak oil anymore. Buy a new washer with every oil change. They are $0.50.

Nah.....just don't be afraid to drill holes, cut away pieces, weld, and don't look back. You will alter your van, and it will never be factory condition again. I know that some guys want to find ways to keep their vehicles as close to stock as possible. In which case, you will enjoy your vehicle as it came from the factory. Presently, I'm trying to decide which part of the dash to cut into for more USB outlets. I want install a 4 port USB outlet with a decora wallplate. It just messes with people's minds when they see an interior building outlet in a car.

Yeah.....but not popular with the performance crowd. Transit Connect is everywhere in major metropolitan locations. Every large city is crowded with Transit Connects - all driven by employees. Most of these vans are bought by businesses. Also consider that there is no way possible to make this a fast car. So why even try? If you just want to make the van sound different, you could easily raise the van on a lift, cut out the OEM exhaust system from the catalytic converter on back, then install a glasspack muffler and add a shiny exhaust tip for bling. The Transit Connects equipped with wheel chair ramps have that big muffler in the rear removed. You get a little more sound.

I installed a new OEM wiper on the driver side, and a Sears DieHard wiper on the passenger side. Now, it's time to wait for the winter storms to see how they turn out. The original OEM wipers, after 2 years, saw some streaking on the driver side and the passenger side falling apart. No science here. I randomly squirt washer fluid. Rain falls are not consistent. I park outside with full UV exposure. Installation was fairly easy for both. Sears wiper came with different adapters for different vehicles. Item # 02899890000 Model # DHB29

How did the plugs look at 55,000 miles? Did you put the same plugs back into the engine, or replace them with new since you had them out?
