    Gears or more horses?

    The hydra is on its way. It'll be nice to have a little power. Thanks for the insight.

    Gears or more horses?

    How big of a tune are you running? I was thinking around 60-80 would wake the old girl up.

    Gears or more horses?

    Gear splitter is on the wishlist. I'm pretty sure it's the lack of power causing the search. I can set the cruise at 75 and it's more in the power band and works great.

    Gears or more horses?

    How much is great? Did you install an intercooler?

    Gears or more horses?

    The truck weighs 11k currently. It has 4.10's on 34's. The tranny still searches at around 60-65 which is mostly what we do on the big road. I'm trying to decide between deeper gears(4.88) or more power(programmer) to push it down the road. Any advice from those with heavier rigs would be...

    Switch panels E-series

    After removing all the goodies and the ginormous center console that came in our ambulance, we are looking for a clean setup to mount switches. I'm not against removing the unused radio and placing one there. We've actually been trying to find an ambo console that fits the top of the dash...

    I would. Like I said though, it needs ball joints. North of Temple, between Waco and Austin.

    Nothing major that I know of. It throws a glowplug code but starts fine. I'm about to replace the ball joints. There is no rust. It is located in central Texas.

    4x4 E350 7.3 Diesel - The Long Wool Adventure Van

    Our starter turned out to be the culprit to the no start we had.

    Ambo question

    The rear doors will remain in place and fully functional. The side doors to the exterior compartments are what I'm asking about. I totally agree with having multiple exits.

    Ambulance dual alternators? keep or toss?

    Guess we'll leave it be for now, and keep a couple spare belts on board. Thanks

    Ambulance dual alternators? keep or toss?

    Hmmmm, now I have more research to do.

    Ambulance dual alternators? keep or toss?

    Those are my thoughts as well. Hoping someone had already done it.

    Ambulance dual alternators? keep or toss?

    Napa had one in stock. But a good idea to have a spare to save all the searching.

    Ambulance dual alternators? keep or toss?

    Never really looked into availability of the alternators. We had a fairly tough time finding a belt when the vacuum pump ate the last one. Just pondering the ease of finding emergency parts.

    Ambulance dual alternators? keep or toss?

    Have any ambo guys that gut all the power hogging stuff removed the second alternator? Trying to decide if going to the single truck style would be easier to find parts in the future.

    Another One.... Ambulance that is

    We did the UJOR six inch on our sloped gravel driveway. I think you should be fine with good jack stands. A good jack is also a plus. Our old 3 ton floor jack was just barely enough to lift the ambo. The kit is nice and worth the cash. Pay close attention to your rear spring hangers. What...

    Ambo question

    Sounds good. We are going with a rear bed to free up floor space. The two rear cabinets will be cut in half and the bed platform will go on top. Some day I'll start a thread. Thanks for the tips.

    Ambo question

    I have a question for the ambo guys that have gutted the interior. What did you do with the doors? Screw them shut and seal them? Weld them closed? We are about to rip out sections of our interior and are looking for ideas. Thanks
