    Anyone swapped a 2001 exhaust for a 1997 exhaust on an E350 PSD?

    My 1997 E350 has a massive exhaust system with a CAT and a huge muffler. I picked up an exhaust from a 2001 E350. The 2001 system has a similar looking muffler but no CAT. I have no inspections to worry about, but wonder if there would be any performance advantage to one over the other. 2001...

    Anyone know how to fix the EBrake spring on a 1997 E350 EBrake pedal?

    I've got a 97 Ford E350 ambulance. The EBrake is a push on, and push to release pedal. After its pushed released, it doesn't return all the way to the top. In order to reset the pedal so that it'll stay on, you need to lift the pedal manually to the top. Not a big deal... Except, the daytime...

    Help... Wiper sweep adjustment on a 1997 E350?

    Is there a way to adjust the sweep range of E350 wipers? The wiper arm usually stops 3-4" from the side of the window, and at the other end of the sweep 3" from the bottom. At other times, 1" from the side and 1" from the bottom. What gives? It almost seems like the adjustment has come...

The stock Voltmeter showed strong batteries which I confirmed with a digital multimeter. The battery idiot light was on and stayed on for my 15 minute drive. An hour...

    Shocks for 1997 E350 Ambulance package

    Billstiens and Fox have rave reviews for off road, but and input for a road driven Ambo? The supplier I normally deal with can't get Billstiens here in Canada. My current shocks are rusty, and sometimes allow as much as three bounces after going over a bump, so I'm sure they're toast. I've...
