  1. I replaced my original radio in my 2018 LWB, XL with a Pioneer 7" touch screen after market radio. I modified the dash kit to get the screen more vertical. Helps to reduce the glare on the screen. Is there a kit that mounts the screen more vertical then my modified attempt. I looking for one with a vertical tilt similar to a kit for the Transit.
  2. Don't know if this is any help. My 2018 washer fluid holding tank was almost bone dry. No fluid coming from the nozzles. It held 10oz less than one gallon.

    Jagwire is even better then condoms. But the condom ideal was intriguing.

    I'll have to use something else besides condoms. Only size I have around the house are XXXL.

    That's a good point. I'll use cloth tape loosely wound around the foam. The reason for using foam is to stop the hard plastic wire insulation from the vibrating against the overhead shelf. Thanks for the advise.

    Fifty150 put me on the right track. I found low density foam tape at Home Depot that should work. Thanks again 150. M-D Building Products 1/2 in. x 17 ft. Low Density Foam Tape ...

    The foam tubing from Amazon would be the best choice. Thanks for the research.

    I was hoping the few that have converted the gen2 TC cargo van for camping would recognized the rear wiper washer fluid supply tube. Hope this makes it a little clearer. On the passenger side, in the cargo area upper rear corner on a gen2 cargo van, the washer fluid supply tube for the rear wipers is exposed. The washer fluid tube has the foam wrap in question. There are a few more places in the van where the wrap is used on wires. I'm guessing the wrap is use for abrasion and vibration protection. I'm looking for the foam to stop a noise from wiring I've ran through the roof above the windshield for extra outlets in the overhead storage and a battery voltage readout. The wires are now wrapped in 1/4" split loom which is vibrating against the metal causing a noise at higher speeds. I asking what the foam is called or where to purchase it. Thanks.

    Nobody has the answer. Where're all the experts?
  10. Try looking on Ebay UK, you may find them there. After looking at the prices you may want to make your own.

    Does anyone know what the foam sleeve around the rear wiper fluid tube is called and where to buy a 4ft length?
  12. Every 30,000 miles I drain and refill my transmission. The transmission and replacement oil is at ambient temperature. I refill the transmission with the same volume I drain. When a dealer does a drain/refill three times for a transmission flush, between the each drain/refill the vehicle is driven to bring the fluid up to operating temp and mix the new fluid with the old. I'm guessing the service tech checks the transmission fluid lever after each drain/fill when the fluid is up to temperature. My question is if the fluid has to be up to temp to check the level, is this because the fluid expands at higher temps and contracts at ambient temps. If the fluid volume changes with temp, is the transmission fluid level low before it's up to operating temp?
  13. I'm selling the bed I made for my 2018 LWB cargo TC. It's two sections, one 29", one 22" and is 12" off the floor. A two gallon bucket with a toilet lid can fit under the bed. A 16qt 12v compressor fridge fits under the 29" section. The sections can be bolted together or used separately. The length is 62" and extends to 72". The length can be changed by replacing the plywood at the foot of the bed with a different length. Each section has 4" high density foam that fit into sleeping bags. The bags aren't in the pics, they're being washed. The bed is secured to the floor with bolts and turn buckles. I'm planning on selling my TC soon, looking for something larger. I'm located 14 miles south of Cincinnati, Ohio. Email me at j8487c@gmail.com for more pics and info. Thanks.
  14. I've made a few cross country trips since replacing my H11 low beams with the modified H9 bulbs. YouTube has videos for the modification of the H9 bulb. For me the brightness and extra distance the H9 cast is much improve over the original H11 bulb. Makes it easier driving the expressways late at night. During the H9 bulb swap, I realign my headlights slightly higher. But not so high to affect on-coming drivers.
