    2WD Van in Snow

    I just bought some Peerless chains on Amazon. Thanks for the recommendation. I remember reading that LSD helps with traction but can also push the back end out on turns.

    2WD Van in Snow

    Getting ready to head up to the Sierra Mountains mid December and I wanted to see if any of you have personal experience with a Ford Econoline Extended in snow. My van has an open diff and 33" BFG All Terrain tires. I am going to add my water jugs (about 15 gallons) behind the rear axle. Do...

    Max Tire no lift (sorry!)

    Nice meaty tires! Looks pretty good but the rear looks so "tucked" in. Is there a reason why you didn't go with more negative spacing?

    265/75/16 vs 235/85/16 question

    OP, your van look a lot nicer with just AT tires. I am so tempted to get the 265/75/16 BFG KO2 for my stock height 07 E350 with the same wheels as you. I have a V10 so losing 1-2 mpg is losing 10-20% fuel efficiency and that hurts. Anyone here with stock height van w/ 265/75/16 tires? How's...

    Diesel or Gas?

    There's always one guy that will claim his diesel gets 20+ mpg. Going 50-55 for 2 miles and getting that mpg doesn't count. My V10 gets 30 mpg going down hill on the interstate too.

    What is this before the diff?

    Or I don't have the tools and place to work on my van. I wish I did though. I imagine it would cost a pretty penny to remove if I took it to a shop.

    What is this before the diff?

    I'll do some research on failure rate. Initially search showed positive reviews. I don't have any need for it but the next owner might. I don't plan to keep my van forever. I'll definitely clean it per the manual.
