Add second row seat 2017 cargo Ford Transit Connect.
Double Nickels replied to thmtrx's topic in Interior
Quite a job. You will need everything that you can find and strip from a donor vehicle. Mounting brackets, carpet kit, seat belts...... you should be able to do it. -

Need help on my cars spec list, and paint issue, ++
Double Nickels replied to Norlig's topic in Accessories and Modifications
Probably. Instructions are in the owners manual. Warranty is governed by law. Check your local laws. The USA has separate bumper to bumper, power train, and paint warranty. I don't know what you have in Norway. -
Those are actually pretty nice. Maybe I should click on the link. Support this forum's advertising revenue.

Based on spyware loaded on your computer. AI is spying on the web browser, and using your device microphones to listen to your conversations. AI advertising thinks that I want Florsheim shoes. What I really want is to buy a used car in The 1950's.

Instead of spending a lot of money on a big tool set, to lug around 2/3 of the tools which I won't use - I want to assemble a set of necessary tools. Tools only relevant to the van. Tools I will use for service work, and roadside repairs. I already have a big box of tools at home, for when I have the luxury of trying different tool sizes to find the right tool. I thought it would be nice to have just the right tools in the van, and a list of what that tool will fit. On the Harley forums, there are tool lists for different bikes. Harley even sells a road kit, with just the few wrench sizes, so you don't carry around 30 wrenches when you only need 6. I have a ratchet handle. I have a breaker bar. I have a torque wrench. I have socket extensions. I have adjustable wrenches. I have locking pliers...... I also have a bunch of fuses, tape, zip ties...... I have a ton of sockets and wrenches. I don't want to carry tools that I will never need in the van. Which size sockets, and wrenches? Any specialty tools recommended like flare nut, crows foot, long wrench, dog bone, thin wrench? In no particular order: 10mm for the battery terminals. 13mm for the battery negative body ground bolt. T27 for the under body shield. 11mm for the transmission drain plug. 14mm for the transmission fill plug. 15mm for the engine oil drain plug. 5/8" spark plug socket. T25 for tail lamp mounting screws. Was the lug nut 3/4"? Was the seat rail bolt a T45? What other sizes for which functions? What about tension pulley, water pump, alternater, or other things that may break on the side of the road?

How does the 2.0L engine tow compare to the 2.5L engine?
Double Nickels replied to williaty's topic in Lounge Transit Connect
I don't think a front where drive with a small engine is engineered for towing. I wouldn't tow with a Ford Maverick either. After all, these vans are really just bigger versions of an economy car. -

What actually broke on your 2014 that is not worth fixing? -
Change Front 12v Power to Switched from Always On?
Double Nickels replied to JohnnyV's topic in Accessories and Modifications
What are you doing? Installing a new radio? -
It sounds like you need to scan the computer for codes. Radio, speedometer, gauges, heater..... Possibly related to the body control module. Refer to the owners manual. Check the fuses for the body control module.

Engine air filter is a must. Cabin air filters are suggested. While you have the belt off, look at the water pump and check the pulleys. If you are already in there, it wouldn't hurt to replace the thermostat. If you still have the OEM brakes....... I would change the pads, resurface the rotors, and bleed the lines. It would also be a good time to refresh the suspension components. The front should be okay. Although you never know. You could find a leak or something. If the van was used for cargo, maybe rear shocks. I doubt if you will need new coil springs. And with that many years & miles...... new tires. Maybe buy a new battery. It could very well be the OEM battery. Add some new wiper blades before winter.
