    2000 Ford 7.3L Motovan build (225's build cont'd)

    Thought I would be riding today, but a no go. There's air in the fuel and brake lines. I'll deal with it tomorrow. But here's the progress: One shiny new welded up shorter tank. All new calipers / rotors / e brakes / pads / seals. Not a fan of the e brake. When I took the cable off the...

    The 2021 E-Series is supposed to get an interior face lift. That with the new 7.3 gas engine will be something I'll be wanting to get with a 12ft SRW box. I'm curious if the 7.3 gasser will have better mpg's than the V10.

    I made some progress today. Had to grind down a socket. Bent some shims, need more. The good news is, I got the pinion preload set. No idea where I am with the depth yet. I haven't checked it. But I did get the locker in. Had to fuss with it a bit. Still a long way to go, but tomorrow I'll be...

    When things are going great, what do you do? Mess it up right??? With a lot of cursing and sweating, I have the rear axle out: Carnage: Empty housing: I was thrown for a loop when I seen this tone ring. But I've been told just install it as see and I shouldn't have any setup...

    NEVER QUIT Overland PHOTO GALLERY & Details

    Love this build. I'm curious on how the ride is? Is it bumpy being over the front axle like that? What's the cruising speed? I still would love to stop by and look at it.
