No worries, I appreciate the help anyway! Everything I Google for "5.4 engine tick/knock" leads to the cam phasers. I have to add in the 2v part to filter it. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Will do. Thanks! EDIT: so Google says my 2v 5.4 does not have cam phasers. Only the 3v 5.4. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

On a great note, checking all 8 plugs today for tightness only took me 2 1/2 hours! A tenth of the time it took me to replace them a couple of months ago. On a sad note, they were all tight and not the source of my tapping noise. The serpentine belt was fine as well. I really think you have...

I got a quote of $400 to change the plugs! I couldn't understand why until I started it. Lots of cussing on the FIRST day! Day two I turned off the death metal and switched to Tom Petty. I then realized my eyes were useless and started doing everything by feel. It went a little better after...

That logic helped as well. I was looking at low mileage transits and they were @ $25-30k completely empty. I then started adding up another interior build and the hours spent figuring it all out. That has encourared me to keep this van. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Thanks for the replies everyone! Now that I have had some time to cool down I do think all of you are right. I will look into the sound further and if I have to, replace the engine. Then I would be good to go for quite a while! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Not yet, that will be one of the first things I check because I changed them a couple of months ago. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

You are right, didn't realize how cheap they are. Thanks Chris! You think a single person without a lift could remove the engine with an engine hoist? I read a post on here where a guy was struggling getting a 7.3 out (which I realize is double the weight). Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Hello, I haven't been on here much because I have been out enjoying the van and working hard on my knife business. Unfortunately, having some engine issues now and would appreciate some advice. On the way back from a 3200 mile road trip to the MotoGP race the engine in my 2004 e350 developed...

Hello Martin, figured I would reply on here in case any else was interested. To hang the curtain I simply drilled thru the back of the factory coat hooks into a short piece of tapered dowel rod. Found a piece of aluminum tube and cut to length. Very simple. Thanks for the compliment! Joe...

Mines 80"x44" because I am tall and tired of my feet hanging off the end. If you don't have cabinets on one side then you could make the bed 60" or so. Had a large bed before and it just takes up too much storage room in a van like this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I copied Cornelius' design using round tube and fit to my long height. I used a single 8" memory foam mattress from Walmart. Cut a lengthwise slit halfway thru to help it bend. In the Couch position I have a length of 550 cord pulled right in the crease to keep it from sliding out. The bed...

Finally fixed the A/C the other day. It has been bothering me for at least a 1 1/2 years and if I would have known that I could have fixed it for $15 and 30 mins time I would have done it a long time ago! I decided to bypass the culprit, a leaky vacuum resubmit, due it being hidden in the...

Thanks! We have been on the road more or less since mid April. We are winding down now. We had a couple of logistical issues (pets being a big one) that deemed we have a time limit. So this time we only got 3 1/2 months. We are going back to stay with in-laws for a couple months before making a...

My issue started out pretty small and only under heavy load uphill but has turned into an almost constant issue unless off throttle going down hill. Will let y'all know when I find something! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you! Give me a little bit and I will try to take some pics and find the link of the guy that I used as my basis. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you! I will look into that and cross my fingers that it works!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone on here ever had an issue with their A/C turning over to defrost under load/acceleration? I have read about it being a vacuum problem but all my lines seem good and can't find much more on the issue. Anytime the A/C is on and I have to apply any throttle or if I am cruising on the...

Sorry man, been on the road and completely missed your question. It is a cover craft uvs100 ordered from Amazon. Kinda spendy but has held up very well! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kinda slow on uploading pics. Feel free to follow along on Instagram under #wheeliswalkabout for better updates and pictures. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
