No Problem. I've found many tips and tricks on here from others, so I am more than willing to share mine. FYI The Mod does NOT affect Fuel Economy numbers in ...
... From what I can see on the website, they recommend the "sport" version for $399.00. I guess its cheaper than replacing brake lines and fender wells, but...

I'm just going to go with the SCC cables - I've had them for previous trucks and cars: http://www.scc-chain.com/Pages%20Traction/Traction%20products/zlt.html ...
Just curious. Na zdorovye (when written in Cyrillic, which my computer doesn't have handy) means "to your health," and is a toast. Are you playing with us, or...
It's a phonetic transliteration of that phrase (unstressed "o" in Russian sounds like "a"). I've had the address for years, and the phrase has the same meaning...
U-Haul has Class II hitches for the FEH. I find it odd to see Explorers with a Class II hitch and my little Escape with a big Class III hitch parked beside...
That's what I suspected. It is the equivalent of "to your health" for every western language I know. In standard Chinese, however, it is Ganbei!, which simply...
Gee, when I asked U-Haul they gave me a hitch number (I've forgotten it now, but think I reported it here), and told me it was Class III. I have a Class II on...
Found it on the Internet.. Valley, Draw Tite are Class III. Your search may find something different. I want it as mount for bicycle rack. Thinking that the...
I drove to Mammoth ( in the CA Sierras ) to ski December 29th. While it did not now this day, it had snowed a few inches the previous 24 hours. The sign on...
... I wonder if the couple of reports i've seen of inability to back through snow or sand have been due to a low battery charge state. Just a thought. -- Jim...

Well as most of you probably know we had some high water over the weekend. Personally floods don't bother me too much since I always seem to be living on the...
Come on, Hybrid Myth #27 says you can't drive a hybrid vehicle through standing water over an inch deep. You mean this isn't true? Glad you made it okay with...
I'm going in for service tommorrow and I am going to have them check the CVT, rear diff (AWD) and transfer case. I think other than the Diff I am fine and if...
Axle lubricant is supposed to be changed if submerged in water according to the manual. Maybe there is a way one can be checked? to see if there is a need for...
I just bought a FWD FEH and I have yet to see the vehicle actually run in EV only mode. Is that normal? I assumed that in the morning while I commute that the...
... Do you have the defroster turned on? Is it bitter cold where you are? If the engine and car are warm, the battery not discharged, and the defroster off, a...
There is most definately a "break-in" period. 1,000 miles at the minimum, 5,000 miles at the maximum. Ford even says the car may not go into EV during the ...
Thanks for the response. It's been in the low 40's high 30's in the morning warming-up into the 50's during the day. I am in the San Francisco Bay area. I...
Thanks for all the quick responses! Wow. I just took her out for a test drive and low-and-behold, if the heater and lights are off, she drops into EV nicely....
John, hate to sound like a salesman for Scangauge but it is great for getting better FE. Since the FEH uses CAN bus, you can set the scangauge to its fastest...
John, I've found that the fan blower(settings 3 or 4) will really zap your power...causing a the ICE to run a lot to charge the batteries. Combine this with a...
Did you have the heat on? My guess is that you cooled the engine down to point it needs to reheat itself. The blower is not much of a load compared to the...
Not to split hairs... but the fan blower is a pretty decent load. Like up to 20 amps, so up to 240 watts. Run that for 30 minutes and you use up 120 watt...
CORRECTION... IN MY HASTE TO GET BACK TO THE TV AND ROSE BOWL.... I MADE A MISTAKE... THE HV BATTERY PUTS OUT 400 WATT HOURS BEFORE NEEDING A RECHARGE. -John ...
Do not despair! Some things have to align before it goes into EV mode. While we know that your salesperson was supposed to explain this to you, we know also...
Hi John, ... False positive there.. Those items will shorten the EV cycle (electricity is fuel in these vehicles) but they won't keep it from dropping into EV....
