Nice M725, you can't have just one old military ambulance. If you do decide to get rid of it shoot me a pm, it would go good parked with my 715's.:)

Make sure you add an auxiliary fuel filter and have some method to filter and monitor your fuel as you add it to your tank. One thing the common rail injectors do not like is dirty fuel, very fine tolerances and very high pressures inside the system. Dirty fuel will wear the injectors out...

Your 6.7 DPF(diesel particulate filter) won't like most diesel you find out of the north American market, it will plug up. You have quite a bit of other emissions stuff on your engine which means more stuff to go wrong. Don't know if you can get away with doing a DPF/EGR delete or not, its a...

If I was going to be living in something for a couple of years I would probably look for a pickup with a camper. There will be times in North America where you will want to spend some time inside due to weather, at least up where I am. You could probably pick up a pretty decent gas truck and...

Pirate 4x4 under the tow rig forum had the guy I was thinking about who wanted to put his FC on a new dually chassis. Also bb.bc4x4.com has a guy who put a Mercedes OM617 engine and older travel trailer on a FC170 to make one really nice ride. I would love to get another FC but have enough...

Nice I used to own a couple of FC170's years ago. They are fun to drive. The fcconnection is a website that has some pretty good info on repairing these fine rigs. The width of your new front axle will stick the tires past your cab a ways. I was reading somewhere online about someone that...

Whats that saying "if you have to ask how much you can't afford it.":)

You pay a lot for the diesel premium, both in the initial cost of the vehicle, fuel and any repairs. Unless you are running at max GVW most of the time its not really worth having a diesel anymore at least as far as cost goes. How many miles do you plan on putting on it? A Ford or GM van of...

Jeep Wrangler with three people and stuff is a tight pack, thanks for sharing how you do it. A good place to learn about packing light is ADVrider, packing everything needed for a weeklong trip on a dual sport takes some thinking.

This looks like it will be a fun read.:wings: Brings back memories of me 20 years ago and some of the stuff I did.

Standing by.....

Yeah I saw that on ebay a couple of days ago, clicked on it and read it and spit soda out my nose.:)

Wow nice job on the interiors jmarquand. Some of the best interior conversions I have seen.

Wow I am surprised that hasn't sold. I love the original license plate and bumper stickers on the back.

I believe those are Scotts of Expedition Imports. I would love to have all six but the "investment" I made this last Tuesday night didn't work out so well.:)

Looks like fun. I need to get down there next summer and do some exploring. Have driven through enough times on 97 and always want to explore but never have time.

Awesome pictures, thanks for posting them.

Possibly a Cummins 8.3, I have seen a few of those in this era of Ford medium duty trucks.

Check the glow plug relay/controller, they are known to burn out. Check your valve cover harnesses, they are known to burn out too. You can pull the valve covers and ohms test each glow plug, I think 1.5 ohms or less is good. Make sure you have the right oil in it too. One last thing is that...

I thought that ghetto wall press thingamajig was a hallway tying your new addition onto your house.:) Nice score on a 4x4 RV. I have worked a bit on command center RV's, some parts of them are military grade construction while other parts leave you scratching your head going uuuhhh.
