Price drop $50k. new batteries, ac just serviced and new stereo installed

Price drop to $53k

Bump. We found an rv that we like so I’m very motivated to sell. I can also arrange for it to be painted for the buyer but obviously that would minimize how much I’m willing to negotiate on the price.

I went to Ford today. Per the VIN (1FDLE40F9THA61245) it has a 50 gallon fuel tank.

And yea I sold the springs

I haven’t had any other issues besides the hpop and I haven’t replaced anything in the engine bay besides the up pipes when noticed they were leaking a little. The rubber fuel lines between the mechanical fuel pump and fuel bowl do have some cracking of the outer sheath so I had plans to rebuild...

Did you ever address the different gear ratios between the axles? I did not, I spoke with Chris at UJoint about it and also asked the shop who did the install and they said it would be fine since it was less than a 2% difference. I just took their word for it and haven’t had any issues. What...

Hopefully whoever bought it makes it into a sweet rig! It’s possible, just might take a lot of elbow grease and/or money. Who knows, maybe I was overly cautious….it would be cool if they posted the progress somewhere

Yea fortunately I used my credit card on PayPal and am going through the dispute process now. I'm also a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and although I was excited about this Chinook, I've decided to put more into my current van and I think it will end up being a better rig...

Small world! I’m in Hollister. Yea I took a little break but we decided to do some interior upgrades soon so once I finish the projects at the house I’ll be working on this again. I’ll keep this updated.

The seller did not argue my diagnosis and I offered him $25k as is ( I felt that was more than fair considering the potential work needed) after I made that offer I was promptly kicked off of his property. I asked for my $1000 deposit back since it was not as advertised and he lied about the...

I thought I found the Chinook for me but unfortunately after a thorough inspection I decided against it. I’m posting on here because the seller stated that there were other people interested and I’d hate for someone to end up with more of a project than they were expecting. Before flying out to...

I've now been driving the van with this setup for almost a year and have yet to have any issues. Granted that I only shift into 4x4 when there's a lot of snow on the ground. Ideally I know they are supposed to match exactly but so far things have been working fine. After doing some research it...

Good to know! I plan to replace the rear axle in the future and I’ll address this issue then. I don’t plan to use 4x4 unless it’s slick or loose so I think it’ll be manageable. Thanks for the heads up.
