    For some reason it must of been cheaper to do it that way. Paul

    Once you jackup the front of the car enough that you can get under it, it only takes five minutes to get it off. Paul

    I agree with your assessment with the handling, FEH has more body roll and not as crisp of turning response, but not bad. Some of that could be tire pressure, I'd raise them up to 44 psi. and I think the EV has a little more power. Sounds like you are having fun.? Paul

    You can get replacement solid ones for $20 on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/20-Wheel-Lug-Nuts-Bulge-Acorn-12x1-5-Chrome-For-Ford-Fusion-Focus-Escape-Probe/264493890843?hash=item3d95107d1b:g:aygAAOSwTO9dnsoB I put them on 3 years ago, no problems. Paul

    I think it is a good idea to add FEH/plugin to this site for the stated reasons.? Hate to see you go Frank. I will be ordering FEH plugin when I'm able too. Paul

    " Attached is a good read. It’s for MY 2017 but should be same as 2013. " from your earlier Post. Paul

    Plus 3 did you trade your CMAX in for a MKZ? Paul

    Oil pan/block heaters aren't totally cost effective until about $4/gallon, but part of the reason for using them is so you have heat sooner and remember it is hard to get into EV Mode until the ICE is upto 128*F WT. Also operating temp is above 202*F WT and the best temp for MPG's is 215 to 225*F from my experience. The ICE will never get up to operating temps in City driving even with Grill Covers on. For FWY driving it takes about 20 min. going 65-75 mph to get over 202*F with Grill Covers on from a cold start. Without Grill Covers on it could take 30 min. or more, You may not get to operating temps. As far as longevity goes my ICE works better than when it was new with 247k miles!? Paul

    CVT doesn't have a clutch or torque converter. Paul

    What taking parts from a FFH with all of that stuff, I would think you could do it without mods. Paul

    Congrats!? I'm interested in the MPG's and details about the car.? Paul

    This site does some weird things, I just put a link to my thread and that's what came up. Paul

    Here is a thread on Winter driving: I put a link, but you need to click on pic below. I have two on mine for a total of 375 Watts, Did have a FORD block heater which I liked a lot until it started leaking, It is a very big challenge to install one. You really need about 400 watts to do the job.

    I just filled up and got 52 mpg. with 676 mi./13 gal. with 35% City, temps 30-70*F and 30% rain, not bad. ? Paul

    I use block heaters all year around for 7 yrs. and it does make a difference.? Paul

    To me this shows the bearings either weren't the right alloy or weren't heat treated right. IMO Paul

    This is true, but I don't see it as a real problem if it is covered under warranty. I have 148k on my replacement trans and I feel it added value to the car. The only problems not covered by warranty was ICE coolant hose connector and a CV shaft failure caused from boot getting torn. Paul

    I think poorly heat threaded would make sense to me and would be an easy fix. It would also explain why there was a wide range of mileage differences. Mine lasted 98k miles and some only lasted 20k miles. Paul

    Was it warmer out when you first got car? HVB range goes down with OT. Paul

    What are you talking about? My 2013 CMAX has 246K miles on it, How many miles do you think you are going to get out of a Prius V? Paul

    I notice when it rains my brakes get grabby at 5 mph and below, but goes away after a few stops. Maybe rust on the disks. Paul
