While everyone thinks I’m crazy on the extra money for the fuel remember I’m used to a 22-23 mpg NCV3 sprinter @$4 a gallon diesel and crazy oil prices ... dropping the maintenance cost and buying expensive fuel I’m still batting in the same neighborhood overall cost wise .... but man I miss...

While the ecoboost engines run just dandy on 87 they actually change timing pretty dramatically to avoid knock to accommodate it! We have several 3.5’s in our household and typically see .3-.5 mpg increase in economy as it allows it to map for base engine power instead of the reduced to avoid...

As always I constantly tinker, with everything ! After MATS I put my airtabs on AND performed a tune up. I used Motorcraft 534 plugs but did a little old school thought I gapped them at .024 instead of .032! The old wives tale was more power smaller gap thinking why not this 16-17 is killing me...

Nobody ??? Moot this made me loose my :censoredsign: as I’m sleepy and reading old post before my nap! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh unfortunately it’s a very real thing ! And the servicer knew I was out of state and the mechanic is who came and got me and stuck the stethoscope on my head ! Was told the 3.5 has a history or STRETCHING timing chains as well.. I’ll have home base check it out or I’m just going to pull it...

68k... oil change today was told I need timing chain guides and should just do the chain at the same time... I hate this van... I want my 800k sprinter back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Broad spectrum statements like this drive me CRAZY ! Transit is the #1 cargo vehicle on earth right now . Like any mass produced vehicle it'll have bugs and our livelihood has tendencies to bring out the best of them. Mercedes Sprinters, Ram Promasters, Econolines, and Express vans all have woes...

Images of misfiring? Do you have more data? Cam sensor would cause increased time from key to start as the system attempts to adapt timing , fails then uses fail safe Timing . Fuel injector programming can only be changed via a ReFlash or failure of the PCM entirely . OBD II is required to...

I have an OTC Pegasus scan tool and had to do a software update just to read my Transit properly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it's missing all the time you would have a blinking check engine light ! Unfortunately a shift shudder could very well be a torque converter AGAIN ! Or a shift solenoid inside the transmission . Also is this a ford dealer and if not what scan tool does he have ? Sent from my iPhone using...
