Anyway, one is located under the hood. The...

Re: TrueTrac vs. E-Locker for front axle?
Another thumbs up for TrueTrac in the front! Had that set-up on my SMB and loved it.

Re: Ford Dual Battery Setup
Just picked up a 2014 V8 which came with dual batteries. They are wired from the factory in parallel. It would really be nice to separate them since two for starting is really overkill.

Re: Props to Peoria Ford, AZ
Yea, finding someone good to work on the van is a challenge for sure. Expertise (especially with the 6.0L) seems to be few and far between.

Yea, a "Transformer" would have been the way to go. But, I was lusting after the 6.0L at the time and I couldn't order a 12 passenger van with the 6.0L...
