  1. For FFE, would this transfer shaft kit possibly prevent the transmission failures that some have had (although it seems much more prevalent on the FFH)? I have a '14 FFE, with a 70k miles now and about 1 year left on hybrid parts warranty. So I'm wondering if I want to keep this car for the long haul is it possible that this kit might be a little insurance just in case something hits the fan after the warranty expires?
  2. I took a simpler approach, especially since I (think) I did it very early at around 60k miles. Drain as much as possible from the petcock on the bottom of radiator, then refill and run a few times to top off. But then I did all that again a few months later, and figure I've easily replaced about 75%. It will always provide cooling, but the anti corrosion properties diminish over time, I've read.
  3. Thought the manual says it's a lifetime filter
  4. I had this done at a dealer that has good prices generally for $140 out the door w/ $10 off service coupon. I'm only at 60k miles but I want to keep this car a long time so was being proactive. They said the oil looked really clean. 10 quarts on the invoice. Also it's apparently more complicated than the regular hybrid, they hadn't done many if any Energi's yet. Another dealer quoted as high as $280! No flush, just a drain and fill as recommended by Ford, which I think makes sense if you do it early enough. 150k that the manual recommends seems way too long to wait, but who knows. I tend to think the interval is extended to lower the "5 year cost of ownership" price that you often see for comparison shopping on new cars.
  5. I got the new one, its very rectangular now. They took the old one and said they are sending it back to Ford. I mount mine to the wall as I use it every night. And they give you a replacement foam piece for the trunk since it's different dimensions.
  6. I'd also like to hear more about anyone over 100k miles. I have a '14 at 56k miles and plan to hopefully go to at least 150k. Was thinking I'd do a trans fluid change somewhat soon at a dealer while still under warranty, just in case...
  7. There a drain underneath the front shield, not the same one as the eng oil, but its a real pain in the butt to get to, I had to also loosen a bracket that goes across just under the radiator, but if you have a hose to put on to drain then its not too bad.
  8. I did a partial drain and fill of a gallon after 50k miles, and it drained from that reservoir too. I think the color change isn't a huge concern, but you're due for coolant change now I think.
  9. On second thought, maybe I tricked myself into thinking it works
  10. I think this is finally working again, it's giving me my specific charge profile at home and I don't have to keep switching the default anymore.
  11. For me it's mostly working, the % reported is always correct, and I can start car and remote lock/unlock. I think the issue with charge now/value charge has to do with it confusing between default and a specific location set, but I tried removing and add that location back in and it still gets confused. I have to set default to value charge and then at home it does my scheduled charge times. Still wondering if anyone is sure that removing vehicle and adding again on the website will definitely fix the issue and if that resets stats?
  12. Mine is also stuck at 11 miles after the modem upgrade. Also it seems I cant set new go times and it also doesn't seem to switch between value and charge now. Someone mentioned removing the car from website and readding. Will that reset the stats like gallons saved and achievements?
  13. In my 2014 FFE, I think the switch over is more noticeable the very first time it happens in a trip, when it is cold out. But otherwise its very seamless.
