Whoever told you 19.5 duallies cannot be aired down, they are selfishly trying to sell you something else or to mislead you knowingly or unknowingly. I've driven 12k-lb 4x4 motorhomes with 245/70R19.5s in deep sand or gravel or mud in Baja, airing down to as low as 11psi to get out of buried...

Great thread. Thanks for sharing. A few things I'm wondering about your rig . . 1. What model year is the F450? 2. Total suspension lift over stock (not including tire size upgrades) 3. Stock gear ratio or final gearing upgrade Also, if you don't mind sharing the make/brand of the rear...

No replies, huh? Where are the helpful people, or are they now too busy making money off these forums that they've abandoned the very foundation of these forums - to help others? I was in the same shocks dilemma and reached out to some of the "kit builders" in these forums and . . . either...

Wow, what a build journal!!! I admire you more than I admire your van :cool: . I followed your thread and got curious about how you permanently fixed your rig's death wobble. No definite fix? other than replacing old parts with new ones, adding a dual steering stabilizers, and re-alignment job...

OK, rather than looking for a chafed or broken wire, I suggest connecting a wire to that 10A fuse terminal with the other end at the starter relay. If that doesn't work then your theory about power at the key start pin is incorrect. If it works then keep the jumper wire and cutoff the "broken" wire.

That sounds odd. It looks like you asked for modifications to your rig, NOT for a A SET of Fox shocks plus steering dampener.

" no fire at key turn " - - - This indicates you normally start the car with your key turned to the start position, not with a Start button or a remote start button/switch. The fact that it cranks/starts when you jump the relay or starter solenoid indicates that the ignition key cylinder is not...

My guess is bad ignition switch. Time to replace it or wire a push button start switch.

You're welcome. Mine is also 1990 E350-based 460, only 50k miles when I got it, but it's a 22ft Class A Motorhome I converted to 4x4 using wide F550 axles. Took me awhile to iron out those 460 issues but they're all addressed and fixed. Thanks to online forums and their very helpful members...

Known 460 issues: 1. Low pressure in-tank fuel pump not working - vehicle runs fine during light use, high pressure inline pump sleeps/rests when under stress until it wakes up 2. ICM heat soak - vehicle runs fine during light use, sleeps/rests when hot until it wakes up 3. Old distributor PIP...

I already have a 7.5L, why would I need a 7.3? :-)

Very well done. Did you do the work yourself? How does it handle the 9-ft wide Baja highway lane and curva peligrosas?

Your story(ies) make me smile . . . been there, done that! I don't know if I've missed it over the many pages, but it looks like you haven't gotten that Superior running, stopping where no fuel was getting to the cylinders. Maybe the float chamber is full but nothing is getting squirted into...

Sorry, no process pics. Just a lot of fabbing and welding. The most troublesome was the rear suspension. The spring hanger and shackles had to go under the frame, so I had to fabricate a beefy 8"x8" box for the shackle under the frame (versus side of frame); hence the 7.5in lift. The rest is...

Thanks. Death Valley, before it gets too hot . . .

Here's the completed 4x4 conversion, 7.5" lift, Widetrack Dana Super 60, 4.30 gears, S110 Limited Slip rear axle. Divorced NP205 transfer case with cable-operated remote Twin Shifters. It took me 6 months, one day each weekend with a few exceptions.:-( , probably about 100 hours of work on it.

It is *** not *** HATE! It's ENVY!

The "bashing" doesn't offend me at all. There is no $ profit to make on the vehicle, believe it or not. The only profit I would make is if it sells to a serious off-roader and if on this thread if people would realize and refrain from making judgments until they have invested the time to see the...

Wow, I just saw this :-) What you all are talking about is one of my RVs and me too. I can't help but smile how people think and talk when they don't know enough. Look me up and my projects and learn a bit more about me, my projects, and my posts, both here and in Pirate4x4. A flipper? By the...

BC, thanks for contributing to this thread. WMS-WMS, surprisingly are both about 84 inches.
