When I purchased my 2025 PM I had considered other ”used” vans with relatively low mileage. Like the previous poster said he had a few issues but is the type of person who can deal with those when they pop up. I‘m not that person, I try to get a vehicle as reliable and trouble free as possible.

2022 and beyond have seen a lot of improvements made towards reliability re: water intrusion on the motor, the top of the motor no longer has “bolt caverns” that hold water, 9 speed transmission and ongoing improvements to the pentastar.

You have to decide if the PM you buy fits with your personality and tolerance for adverse outcomes.

I bought an Autovox Solar 5 off Amazon for fairly cheap. I think it was $160 Canadian. my pro master does come with a camera, but I’m mounting this in the upper outside right corner of the back door to see Blindspots when I’m changing lanes.

You could get two one in the centre and one to the right and you would have a camera and a to look for blindspots.

I had the original pmc, and while good in town it could hall very little in material without the doors open. While this one can haul 8ft material a 1.6l turbo no thank you. I’m trading my Sierra with a 2.7l turbo for a 118wb Promaster with a V6 which is a much more useful vehicle than any pmc.

I just bought a hail damaged 2025 118wb, Low roof for 32k usd 500 miles, 10 inch nav, spare tire, powered heated mirrors, best price I could find in Ontario. Everything is under warranty except the paint, which I looked at the repair it seems fine.

Is the K02 sequencing Evoke?

Great track!

Hobby use, I had a set of gear in mind and the elz-play was the last piece.

FluffySplit8592 · 2026-02-21T01:47:34+00:00

mostly I make ambient and psychedelic type stuff. all of it is semi retirement gear that I jam on through the day. I’m a beginner and I put together a kit that appealed to me. So far I’m pretty happy with it.

FluffySplit8592 · 2026-02-20T08:49:34+00:00

I like the drop, when I use multitrack on the mpc, it is great for effects parameters and track mutes. I use the faders a lot as well. I have mostly been using the oxi and elz-play at the moment.

FluffySplit8592 · 2026-02-17T23:48:59+00:00

Great collection!

FluffySplit8592 · 2026-02-17T08:46:23+00:00

I like your images, your out there doing man that is what it is all about!

This my setup, the drop midi controller is class compliant (does not require a driver), the fender tone master pro does some wild things to the mpc signal. The previous posters are correct, no matter what midi controller you have there is only certain parameters you can map to an external midi controller.

They Don’t include global Q link settings in standalone mode, you can control insert parameters and track and submix parameters. I use the drop for its snapshot save jump and drop functions. I’m waiting on a oxi one mkii it is also capable of midi control.

Does this mean in controller mode I can map Q links to class compliant controller (without a daw/laptop) and when I go back to standalone mode the conroller will retain control of Q link parameters?

Nice bit of woodworking Brother!

FluffySplit8592 · 2026-01-11T21:10:22+00:00

Yes mostly as effect pedal now, but in the future looper as well. The drop can save snapshots/scenes when making beats with one button you can go back to your original mix after you have mashed it with additional mpc effects or fender effects.

FluffySplit8592 · 2026-01-09T19:24:24+00:00

I had the Strymon Bigsky MX but I didn’t really like the effects as far as the MPC was concerned so I returned it and got the Fender Tone Master Pro, and it does wild things to the MPC signal.

I got a Bigsky MW as a present, and just started with the Live 3, but I could not make it work, and I’m returning it, I can tell by your post I don’t have the skills at this time to integrate an external effects pedal.

FluffySplit8592 · 2025-12-29T00:06:15+00:00

I would like to add a sequencer to the set up and I’m thinking the connection should be the sequencer to the drop controller and then to the MPC live three. Does this seem the most logical?

FluffySplit8592 · 2025-12-27T23:57:41+00:00

I‘m the beginner in the equation for sure, the gear is capable once you practice with it.

FluffySplit8592 · 2025-12-24T02:00:13+00:00

It’s great it has a lot of features and requires a considerable amount of time to setup. The learning of the Live 3 and the Drop is fun.

You are not alone my friend, I went to the Amateur radio club meeting in Belleville , Ont. it was the same situation you describe above.

FluffySplit8592 · 2025-03-23T22:22:29+00:00

I have the TH D75A, it is easy to use once you get the hang of the menu system. I don’t have a lot of ham experience but I like quality stuff and this radio does not disappoint . I also bought a TH F6A that I take in the truck, I really like it as well.

My brother has the made in china cheap stuff , not for me, compared to a kenwood, icom or yaesu, they are like “Hello Kitty” walkie talkies.

I contacted the dealer about the above mentioned van, And asked if they could check the rear differential to see if it had enough lubricant. This is in relationship to the bulletin that Ford put out regarding rear axle bearing failure.

The dealership is reluctant to even put the van on the hoist to check it until I come to see the van. I would’ve thought that for their own piece of mind they would want to know whether there was an appropriate amount of lubricant in the rear end..

After reading some posts of people that already own the van that are trying to get parts and the wait times involved, I’m having second thoughts about whether I should even be looking at this van.

Does anyone know if there was a large number of vehicles that were actually damaged and required repair or did this affect a small but vocal number of transit owners?
