  1. I'm sorry. In other words, have you been topping off your coolant level with water only?
  2. Haven't had this problem on a vehicle in a long, long time. But if your coolant blend is not up to snuff, it can cause this problem Ice forms in the radiator, or in the hose near the thermostat and becomes a plug. This causes overheating. Check your cooland blend and make sure it can handle the temps you guys have been getting.
  3. Did you need to do any trimming? Do they lay flat (the floor seems not to be flat?) Are they the softer rubber type that won't crack in sub-zero weather? Are they fairly deep to hold melted mud and snow and ice? Sure do wish Weather Tech made a fitted set for this TransCon.

    Another thing. I am a painting contractor and am interested in layout/storage solutions for painters and carpenters to optimize the available space. How do you best utilize your space?

    Hi guys, I am an old member over at Ford Truck Enthusiasts, and don't remember how I latched on to this site, but here I am. I have finally replaced my '93 Eddie Bauer AWD Extended 4.0L. with a base model Connect. The new truck was purchased in New Mexico, for use in the Western Suburbs of the Chicago area. The truck has a build date of 06/09, purchased October 2, 2010. One oddity: the accordion hose between the air filter and throttle body is dry rotted. Replacement part has been back ordered and looks like it will become available sometime after the third week of December. Note: CHECK YOURS. Drove the vehicle from New Mexico to Chicago and on the last measurable tank of gas on the trip, did the math on mileage and came up with 26.85 mph. The truck was empty except for two suitcases. If you have any recommendations on things that should be checked out right away, I'd like to hear your recommendations. I'm also a member at L.O.S.T. KJ, a site dedicated to Jeep Liberty owners, as my other vehicle is a 2006 Liberty CRD, a diesel for those not familiar. It appears that I'm now the owner of two exotic vehicles. It will take me a little time to get used to the subject specific headings of this forum, but so far, there is way more info here than over at FTE. My most pressing need at this time is floor mats. Has anybody purchased non-OEM mats that don't need to be cut down? Love to hear about them. Looking forward to everybody's input over the next several years.
