2016 TC XLT (non commercial registered) 32k miles will need tires soon.Spec'ing out Pirelli Cinturato tires which some forum members like . My ?'s...will the 91H load rated tire ride smoother than the 97H. Van is for personal use(2 adults 320lbs total and never exceeding 300lbs cargo) and no trailer hitch. Tire stores will mount the lower rating if i bring in wheels only..legal implications which i understand. Advice appreciated

I did the same..counter clockwise about 2 turns each lamp..helped but could be brighter.

Maybe i will install one of those off road KC smiley face light bars...jk

And what the heck is 3d Bionic Technology?

I'm thinking H11 low beams to start with. High beams plenty bright but lows on no stripe roads at night are challenging.

The tool with adapters is definitely the way to go...i improvised with some Harley tools i have..applied pressure than a couple of turns..rinse and repeat until puck bottoms out.

Update..both rear calipers require clockwise plus pressure to bottom out. My tech advised after assy to depress brake pedal(eng off ok) and then pull up your park brake lever to reset the caliper parking brake internals with the new components.Your good to go if your wheels spin freely?

Thank you..looking at MK3 Ford Focus videos(calipers look the same) no mention of any ccw but i will verify using your method.?

32k miles on my 2016 XLT cargo and pads were worn out(grinding noise). These use the caliper parking brake combination and i found servicing these a bit confusing. My regular tech walked me through pad change and suggested turning in the puck while applying pressure with needle nose applied to the 2 holes. He also cautioned that on some vehicles turning the puck is usually clockwise but could be counter clockwise. So far i have only done the right rear pad change(clockwise worked) and will pursue left rear this week. Anyone done there own rear brakes and are both sides clockwise push and turn?

Good question..i'm due. I wonder if the cooler lines would work.Drain and fill several times to labor intensive for me.

2016 XLT cargo...mine works fine.

Approaching 30k on my 2016.I too am concerned about the trans..it has performed as advertised. I also checked trans out put drive shaft seals as i heard some leak. Mine were both dry

I always thought federal emissions were 8 years and 80k.

I would leave it in place..i hit a huge puddle on i 93 in Boston after a deluge..my TC submarined briefly. I thought for sure i was going to crash or get hit from behind.After resurfacing TC stayed straight and running properly. I think the pan deflected most of the water away from the lower engine bay area. Without the pan i suspect i would have belt squeal ,engine stutter or a CEL at the very least.

How did the leaves get in there if the 2 screen caps under the hood in back were in place?

Just did oil change today..got lucky..plastic inserts tightened down ok but more caution next time.?

Is it aluminum or fiber..crush type or?

Thanks..just picked up plug washer assy from autozone..the washer appears black rubber though.

Is the washer 14mm? On my way to napa.

What make and model of tire? My oem contacs ok but kind of harsh on pave patch roads..yours any better?

i know on my TCg2 heat to the cabin is fast..unlike wifes pathfinder.

Thanks Don..better have one on hand.

Getting ready to do an oil change..is the drain plug washer reusable? 22k on vehicle.

FWIW we had similar symptoms to yours as well occasional difficult(extended crank) starting in some ford rangers,all kinds of codes..going on memory here but i believe there was a shifted key(barely) in the harmonic balancer causing the CPS signal to PCM confusion. ?
