    Freightliner ambulance conversion project.

    Oh look color matching stud tension indicators. How pimped out can you get. Seriously though these should be on every medium duty rig. For about $30 you can have an easy way to see if your wheel studs are loosening off when you do your pre start check (you do a pre start check don't you???)

    Ambulance medium duty. The airconditioner secret. How does it work?????????

    Ok I did not find out how it is supposed to work but I now have the cab one working. Combination of removing where the compressor clutch wire looped out to somewhere and actually getting a correct fuse panel diagram which showed I had one fuse missing. Gas was low and little cans suck for...

    Buying & Building a Medium Ambulance into an RV – The FAM-BULANCE

    If you have the room consider the Thetford Curve. You can get a base plate for it to make sure it stays in place. The only downside is the electric pump, another thing to fail.

    Ambulance as TV - a Newbie's search

    Oh I would also be leery of the Diesel/CNG. Not a lot of them around and most diesel guys will ******** their pants when they have to work on them. Also I remember somewhere reading about there being troubles in some states with the diesel/cng not meeting EPA regs.

    The 2004 should have the J1939 data port. A lot more information available and if you really want to in the future you can consider the EZ Trac Hydraulic Front Drive

    Medium Duty Ambulance FAQ (Freightliner, International, GMC, Chev)

    Cruise Control Switches. Part Numbers Freightliner FL60 1999. These are supposed to be the part numbers for the cruise control switches for one running the 24v ISB Cummins. (not sure how cruise works on the mechanical injection ones) A22-41425-000 A22-41425-001 In theory the wiring is already...

    Ambulance medium duty. The airconditioner secret. How does it work?????????

    Anybody know the secret between the front and back AC setting to actually get them to work. OK I have not had any AC in my truck for 3 years. Not really a problem until the summer in Phoenix but I am usually OK with 2-60 AC in the most part (2 windows down and 60 MPH). But I am getting old and...

    Ambulance as TV - a Newbie's search

    Hi Mate My suggestion would be to start with the running gear and then work out which manufacturer has what you want. Given your use I would suggest the following configuration: Air brakes (this usually includes a heavier driveline) 10 lug hub pilot wheels (opens up unlimited wheel...

    From Freightliner ambulance to RV - we hope!

    Oh bugger! I forgot to let you know to talk to the warranty people not parts/service. And I stuck you with the wrong axle decoder diagram. See it doesn't pay to rub in the cruise control [emoji1]

    Axles. Send me any links/info you want included. My input will be Rockwell Mertior and hopefully Axletech as a separate thread. Take your title down to Freightliner and get signed up for DTNAconnect. It will give you access to your parts including the actual diff carrier code. Then you can use...

    Take your title down to Freightliner and get signed up for DTNAconnect. It will give you access to your parts including the actual diff carrier code. Then you can use this chart to define if you have a limited slip or no spin diff. Basically if you have a "F" for the 9th character it is an open...

    Freightliner ambulance conversion project.

    Here I go hijacking my own thread [emoji1] But if you check the Allison installation guide it will tell you which way the cooler lines need to be connected. I think it needs to run in reverse to the coolant flow. Not sure it would make that much difference. Also the with later Allisons 200 is...

    From Freightliner ambulance to RV - we hope!

    Generator, cruise control and now lumbar support. Not to mention the nice flecks in the laminate so that it doesn't scream correctional facility cupboards. Making me jealous all over again. After your graphic description of the seat shock problem I was going to wait a while to tell you I never...

    Freightliner FL60 wheel and tire recommendations

    Also just as an FYI these are the measurements I took from my axle. I suspect yours will be the same or close to these measurements. Just trying to save you the pain of pulling the wheels to check. These are measured from the rim mounting face to the rim mounting face Back 71” face to...

    Freightliner FL60 wheel and tire recommendations

    If you want to go with singles and stick to commercially available 22.5 you might want to consider these type of wheels. You will need to play with the inset/offset to get them tracking correctly. Any tire you put on them should have sufficient load capacity. They may be a bit stiff in the...

    Seating All of my trucks have run the lo ride Bostrum seats. These are a fair quality air ride seat. But what I have found is that they have taken a beating in ambo use. Expect to at least replace the shock absorber. In 4 out of 6 seats I have also had air leaks from the air adjusting switch...
