    Econoline headlight retrofits or replacements?

    Go with vantage optics and don't look back. I've compared a bunch of options, and his were easily the best. And the install is pretty easy too. You won't regret it...just like the other posts said, the light output and color quality at night are extremely better than stock Sent from my...

    Vacuum problems

    Choice c is really simple...bypass the original vacuum reservoir by cutting the old line where it comes out of the engine...then run a new line from the engine, through th the dog house and into the passenger foot area...mount up a new reservoir and said live back into the vacuum lines coming...

    LED vs HID

    I have vantage optics hid's, and could not possibly be happier. The difference was night and day compared to the stock lights. The Vantage optics lights were easy to install, and have been very reliable. No problems at all, and the focused beam from projector lights provides really crisp...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    Here's the sleeping platform/storage I made for my e350. I know it's very simple, but I use the van for a lot of other things, so I tried to come up with a quick release system as easy as the stock benches. For that reason, I ended up using the legs from a stock bench, and just bolted on some...

    Keep your eyes out for my brothers stolen van please

    Hey guys, My brother was on a road trip from California to Washington with his family. While in Oregon someone stole his van, with a new sports mobile top and all their gear. He'd love to get it back if anyone in Oregon spots anything. Here's a link to an article about it, and pics of the...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    It's the Spartan sld6035. It's the closest to correct locker they make. It's for a Dana 60 35 spline axle, the only problem is that it doesn't have that c-clip channel that redoval cut out for me. I assume there are also 35 spline d60's out there without a clip. It's on my rear axle...My...

    Van choice...balance load capacity and MPG

    I've got a 5.4L e-350, and get between 14 and 15 mpg. My buddy has the same Van but v10, and gets between 10 and 11 mpg. I'm very satisfied with the power of the 5.4, even when carrying weight, and wouldn't trade it for the loss of mpg in the v10 if I were buying another one. My same buddy...

    Pricing sanity check

    I've checked out some Javier vans in the past...I would be careful buying one...especially with that many miles on it...one that I looked at had the odometer rolled back, but I can't say for sure if it was Javier or the owner of the van that had done that...thank goodness for carfax Sent from...
