    It sure looked like those tires were going to rub to me when turning. Let us know how they work out. :) Paul

    I have 172k with the original K&N air filter in it, it is a big job to replace it. :sad: I have a new FORD one I could put in it. My oil analyse is great and I used 1/2 quart in 13k ICE miles. Paul

    Sad, but I have to agree with you on this. I would imagine in a year or two there will be trans shops that will do this for $2500-3000. :sad: It's hard to give up on a car that you like so much. Paul

    Seems like a lot of work going back an forth. :sad: Paul

    It would be nice if you could remove license bracket and mount License plate on center Grill Cover and put screws on the ends, make it permanent. :) Paul

    That's great, and so that others know I keep MADMAX in the garage at night too, but I use my oil pan heater in the morning all year around to improve MPG's. The less gas you use to get up to 202*F better your mpg's will be. :) Paul

    I was on a business trip last week and Winter has hit the Northeast with temps down to freezing. I filled up in Shippensburgh, PA elev. 686 ft, temp 35*F and drove to Philadelphia about 150 miles, elev. 125 ft and 65*F. I started out with 33 mpg and worked it's way up to 50.1 mpg when I got there. Just another example of how well these Mods work during cold weather. :) Paul

    djc, Did you look at my Winter driving MPG tips? http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/5511-how-to-improve-winter-mpgs?:) You can easily add an oil pan heater. Paul

    170k total miles and 51.2% EV now. :) Paul

    Just got back from trip to PA and NY and back, about 2,500 miles. Temps ranged from 75-33*F and still averaged about 51 mpg for the trip. Also my Life Time went up to 49.3mpg, Fuelly.com to 48.3mpg and 170k mi. now. :) YouTube video views are up to 3400 now and here's the link if you missed it: http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/6568-how-to-drive-a-cmax-hybridffh-to-get-great-gas-mileage/:) Paul

    When I hit zero I look at my trip gauge to see how many miles I have and then compute from there. I have gone 60 miles on empty and I have run out before 30 miles. :headscratch: Paul

    Dealers can make a Big Difference! Awhile back I think someone posted a list of things covered be Hybrid Warranty and there should be a warranty pamphlet in with your Owners Manual that list them. That seems like a lot of money to me. :sad: Good Luck. :) Paul
  14. ptjones
    How many miles do you have on the car. Bottom line is whether or not it is a Hybrid System problem or not. :headscratch: Hybrid System warranty is 8yrs/100k mi. Is your FORD Dealer a Electric dealer? You might update your CMAX info. :) Paul
  15. ptjones
    With 167k mi. on my 2013 I have never had this done. Does this cost anything? I think this could be done when replacing the air filter and you could you it yourself. Replacing the air filter is a hard/ hand scratching job so use protection for your hands, there is tugging involved and aligning holes too. :sad: Paul

    a work around would be to connect a switch to the Lights Fuse. :) Paul
  17. ptjones
    This why it is a good idea to be on this forum so you can get answers to your questions. :) Paul
  18. ptjones
    Sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Do what you got to do. :) Paul
  19. ptjones
    Do you have a CMAX? And what year is it.? :headscratch: Paul
  20. ptjones
    I thought would remind members what can be done to minimize the loss of MPG's during the up coming cold weather months that some are already experiencing. :sad: You can go to Post #2 to for all the info. :) Paul
  21. ptjones
    I will guaranty that it would kill your MPG's. :sad: :lol2: Paul
  22. ptjones
    No I didn't. :) It would be nice if FORD would supply an aerodynamic wheel cover that is easy to remove, these need to be cleaned periodically. :) It's worth around 2 mpg. Paul

    marlidog you need to look at my How to get great gas mileage thread YouTube videos, it covers everything you need to know pretty much. :) Paul
  24. ptjones
    Made another trip into Atlanta and back on I-85/I-285 about 80 miles with A/C running about 1/3rd of the time and averaged 57.8 mpg which included about 10 miles of City driving. :) YouTube views up to 3200 now. :) Paul

    Motor is the 2 electric motors and engine is the ICE. :) Paul
