'97 Crestline Ambulance 215 Amp Mitsubishi Alternator Samlex SSW 2000 W Sine Wave Inverter Originally Equipped with a Vanier 250 Amp Alternator to isolate the House and Starting banks. A couple days ago, I upgraded to an ACR. Alternator is wired directly to house batteries to ensure the ACR...

I'd like to gain a wee bit up front... ie 1" when the dust settles. The front end of my ambo weighs about 2800 lbs with the type 3 and 7.3. Current newer coils are 12.5" long at rest/loaded. Moog 880s are rated at 3006 lbs and 12" at rest/loaded. Is that 3006 per side? Moog 880 are rated at...

97 Ford E350 with 7.3 PSD. Cruise has been completely dead as far as I can tell. Hasn't worked since before I got the rig 3 years ago. I'm a total Newb when it comes to cruise control and my web searches have helped me learn what I Don't have that could be the problem. Brakes all replaced...

After about 100 miles on the highway in crappy snowy weather, I pulled off the road. When I went to put the E350 in Reverse it wouldn't shift. After working it back an forth I managed to get it into reverse but not park. Long story short, the lever at the side of the transmission was encased in...

I've seen lots of threads where people have painted them out black. Has anyone figured out a rattlecan that looks like the original Colour? I painted the rims 'Titanium Silver' which looked like it on the cap, but it's a much lighter/brighter colour. I wan't to keep it looking like a 'stock'...

Here's What I've installed. I know most focus on off grid, but for the other six months of the year to keep it defrosted or at camp grounds. It's a kick space heater 120/240 v 450-1800 w. Any other solutions? Here's one I saw online...

I'm sure there are many ways to solve my problem, but I'm also sure there is a simple solution... trouble is finding it. What I'd like to do is plug in to shore power with a single cord and have the charger get constant power and have the block heater turn on at a specified time. Simple...

Anyone know if a 2001 master will work on a 1997 E350? I know the line sizes are swapped and boosters are different... But I'd rather not experiment. Already using 2001 calipers rotors up front. 97 is 1 1/4" and I believe 01 is 1 5/16".

I just had new springs put in the back of my Crestline Ambulance (E350 Ford). The 10 pack leaves are rated the same as the 9 leaf packs. There's little arch. So the truck sits level, the spring shop added a 1" steel block on the drivers side (it's about 650 lbs heavier). At the rear wheels it...

I've got some cracks in the cross-member near the lower rad mounts on my 97 E350. If I dont just pull it out, what should I disconnect to avoid damaging electronics/electrical stuff? On older trucks, I've disconnected the alternator... if I bothered at all. I know there are fancier welders...

I've noticed my rad has dropped a bit. Does anyone have any good pictures of how the lower support on an E350 van (97ish) mount is attached to the van body? The lower mount seems to move up and down 1/4"+ I think I'll have to pull off the grill, bumper, etc. and dig into it, but would like to...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-RV-TRAILER-CAMPER-5TH-WHEEL-WHITE-8-5-ROUND-SCARE-PORCH-12V-LED-LIGHT-/281271056109 Any thoughts? 270 lumens. $22/each vs $100/each for "Ambulance lights". How bright would 8 of these make the inside of the ambulance? Any thoughts on how 'dim-able' they could be?

Just checking in... hoping there's no damage

Guy contacted me locally, he is looking for shelves for his Crestline New Era ambulance. Has anyone got any shelves from a gutted/converted rig? If they're from a different rig, we may be able to cut them down.

The Vacuum pump got a lot noisier on the way home... It looked new when I bought the rig a little over a year ago... That said, it still does. When I disconnect the line it gets even noisyier. Plugging the line doesn't make it stop. Covering the outlet makes it quieter. Thoughts... I'm thinking...

You'll have to excuse me if this isn't the ideal place to post this... It's the Forum I know and frequent. A co-worker has a 2004 Ford F series with a 5.4. When he was towing his camping trailer with his loaded truck up one of the bigger (& longer) grades in these parts trafic slowed to a near...

I've got a 97 E350 Ambo. Stock it came with a stout front sway bar. It handles quite well for a 9000 lb rig. Recently I've noticed the newer Ambos have a rear sway bar (I believe as well). Would it be worth adding a rear sway bar? Am I better off spending the money on good shocks? Draw...

Just found out from FORD my 1997 E350 7.3 PSD has some outstanding Recalls that are outstanding (as far as FORD is concerned). From: 2007 the Cam Position Sensor. 2009 the sensor for the Speed control on the master cylinder (possible fire risk). Checkout FORD.com if you own a FORD to make sure...

I've got a 2WD 1997 E350 Crestline Ambulance. The angle of the front tires and the rake of the truck makes me believe that the front springs are saggy. I've recently acquired a set of new front coils off another E350 Ambulance. The question I have is, how far has my front end sagged... How...
