    Widening my E-350

    In this vein.... can a van body be removed and replaced with say a Unicell box, or does that have to come as a chassis cab initially....

    Replacing a PCM in 1997 F250

    Found a truck I am interested in, but the guy says the PCM is mafled and so it is running rough. I tried searching, but don't really see a clear answer. Lots of ECM but not PCM, not clear answer if the part is readily available. Is this an expensive thing to fix? Thanks JM

    Portable camp fire grates...?

    I have a biolite fire pit. Works great. Almost no smoke or ash as the forced air makes it burn really efficiently

    Regular truck vs Chassis Cab Frame

    So I see now, in searching this there is a third option. Regular Truck or Regular Truck Box Delete vs Chassis cab. Is there a way to tell which is which when looking at a flatbed? I doubt these used car guys will know.

    Regular truck vs Chassis Cab Frame

    I can't for life of me find the thread where someone mentioned a difference in the frames of these two types of vehicles. One I believe was a box frame, more rigid say, than the other. I was wondering if this also applies to the E-Series or Express Vans vs Cutaways of those vehicles...

    Will any of the Garmins have better GPS than phone?

    Do phones not have a GPS receiver? My GPS still works in airplane mode or am I just tricking myself somehow?

    Will any of the Garmins have better GPS than phone?

    Was looking at getting a Garmin GPS/messenger. It seems when I am hiking, where I am going I get nothing on my phone for GPS. Will a Garmin have the same problem or do they get better reception? Do some have better GPS reception than others? Say inreachmini vs montana700i Thanks

    I hope this isn't a stupid question but... Is there any fundamental difference between converting an E-350 RWD and an F-350 RWD to 4WD? Thanks

    Pass-through really necessary?

    Could we see some pics of people's pass throughs? They seem to be a kind of often ignored part of documenting vehicles..... Thanks JM

    Off-road office set up

    I just bought a kneeling chair for my desk. I quite like it, it's helping me with my posture. I have still not seen one these deals anywhere

    UJOR Build Thread

    Have you ever considered that.... one day we will run out of Econolines? These parts it's pretty hard to find one with less than 200K km on it. They do pop up... but it would be nice if someone made an affordable van body for the cutaways.

    Camp shower advice needed

    I just bought one. I am amazed at how well it works. Totally recommend it. However, you need water pressure. So either from the source or with a pump.
