We have had my better 3/4s car for over 15 years and 140,000 miles. She (the car) was showing major signs of age even tho she looked great, sounds like ME! LOL! SO, I started looking at the Ford C-Max Hybrid last winter. Now that it has been out for nearly a year and a very small number of people saying anything neg, we bought. It drives like a sports car and has POWER. It is a plesant surprise. Milage is increditable. Paid our price as they agreed as we were getting out of the chairs and headed for the door. One feature that we wanted and the C-Max can deliever is it can be towed behind the Motorhome 4 down. No trailer or dolly is needed. Installing the base plates in a week. The shop who is going to do the work order parts yesterday. The entire NOSE has to be removed to install and a seperate light harness installed for the tow lights. Looking forward to taking it with us on our next USA trip. Of course we are still taking the Jeep CJ5 with us to Mexico this winter.

You will love the mpg u get with a hybrid! I drive a Prius my wife and her dad have their own Prius also we average 40-50mpg on highway with lots of hills.. i notice with more higher speed mpg suffer but in city it really shines a lot i have been able to get 100 mpg for 10 or 15 minutes using only electric motor to move the car and to regenerate the battery during foot off pedal and braking. Sure almost everyone bash my prius and call it a turd until i tell them...it only took me a gallon of gas to get to work 50 miles one way...how much gallon of gas did your Truck used in 20 miles that silenced them very fast

      Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for a 2014 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work.
      By rdc
      I posted this before , but I had the year wrong. The part I need is for a 2014, I don't know what all years will work, but I need the 2 bearing style with the spacer in the middle. It looks like this pic. If anyone has one I'll buy it rite away. my email is [email protected]. Thanks, RC

      Looking for a left rear shaft carrier (just the carrier) for a 2007 Joyner 1100 sand viper
      By rdc
      Hope I posted this in the right place. Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for an 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work. I need the old style two bearing with the spacer in the middle, the new style with just the one wide bearing wont work. If anybody has one I'll buy it right away. my email is [email protected]

      Massimo Msu 500 Has No Power
      By Rmillerdesigns
      Hello. I have a 2016 Massimo MSU 500. I was putting on a lightbar and i screwed up and didn't disconnect the battery so when i was taking of the positive cable to put on the power from the lightbar it sparked and now the utv has no power. I turn the key over and all i hear is a chirp. No lights or anything. Everything that comes from the battery to the jumper box up by the battery shows voltage but anything coming out does not such as to the winch or anything like that

      Must have upgrades/spares?
      By MilSurpYinzer
      Hey all, I was just wondering what you guys consider a necessary upgrade or spare part to have or mod onto your machine.
      I'm going for a kind of shtf survival rig that's not going to be SUPER heavy and I'm looking at getting:
      A spare belt (I keep seeing this mentioned everywhere I look so it must be important)
      A spare tire and mount( So would I need a jack like one from an old jeep or something else?)
      Tire chains for the winter
      And maybe a cargo bed upgrade so things don't slide out.
      Bumpers because duh.
      I already installed high output lights and have a windshield, roof, back window, and winch. And I outfitted a Molle panel for the back of my passenger seat with extra supplies like food, first aid, and spare mags.
      Any advise on increasing durability, longevity, and having something on hand because it's absolutely necessary would be a plus.
      Thanks so much!

      2020 UT400 surging after sitting for winter
      By jugliner
      I have a fuel injected UT400 that will start and idle, but surges and sputters at higher speed.  It has been sitting for 2-3 months and was fine when parked in garage.  I assumed it was a fuel/air problem and pulled the throttle body and cleaned it up.  I've ended up replacing the injector, IAC valve, MAF Temp Pressure Sensor, and fuel filter.  I've also checked the spark plug, Still surging.  I reset the ECU after every component swap.
      I plan to pull the throttle body again and look evrything over for any visible leaks, etc.
       
      Any suggestions would be appreciated on next steps.   The problem developing after sitting makes me think it should be something simple, but I'm stumped.  BTW the fuel was fresh and treated with Stabil.
       
      Thanks.
