You can definitely get higher capacity coil springs. If you get coils to heavy for your actual weight your ride qualify will pay the price. Have you taken your E450 across the scales to weigh your axle weights? I’d be surprised if a 6 window short bus has significantly more front axle weight...

Many of our vans start out low in the front... mine was much higher in the rear, and is now somewhat closer now. The drivers side now has a 3.5 degree bushing, and the passenger side has a 0-4 degree adjustable bushing. I’ve got it adjusted for roughly 0 camber and quite a bit of castor. I...

No worries, glad to help. I’m sure I’ll need help sometime too.

So far what I’ve found in those forums was PS60. Which seems to be a direct fit till 7-15-1996 +/-. I’ll dig a bit more, but so far an adapter is looking like it’ll be in my future.

Here’s where mine ends: It is down beneath this fuse box:

I'll check. By memory it goes down to the low vacuum sensor down where it's headed to, I'll try to post a picture.

Good to know. Do you happen to know if there is a sender with 1/8th npt? The PS60 sender I’ve found had 1/4npt. I believe the 12/‘96 sender is 1/8th. I won’t know for sure till I pull the old one. I’ll buy a fitting to adapt if needed, but my first choice would be to find one that is the...

It’s the same gauge. When a minimum pressure is reached, the sender closes & Ford added a resistor so that the gauge would move to 3/4 of the way up. The gauge always indicates the same pressure regardless of what is actually happening. I could add a second gauge, but what I’m proposing is...

Every once in a while my ‘97 oil gauge reads low. If I fiddle with the connection an the sender (switch) it’ll go back to reading ‘normal’. I know it doesn’t measure pressure... other than it being more than 7 psi. If it wasn’t also that the oil pressure light also shines, I could more easily...

The inverter uses thumb screws to disconnect and is fused. All the other circuits are also fused (which can easily be pulled).

I’d make sure you get longer front shocks and get rid of the extenders. Extenders will help the shocks reach, but they’ll do nothing to help with wheel travel. The last thing you want to do to your new shocks is to bottom them out or over extend them. I’ve wrecked a few because my wheel travel...

Looking forward to following along with your build. I’m glad to hear your hospital is taking good care of you. By trade I work in prosthetics & orthotics, and find it especially rewarding to help individuals overcome their challenges. Unfortunately I’m not able to do that work at this time for...

The remote battery switch is a neat find. Pricey but nice. When parked only essential circuits remain powered on. The inverter and other night circuits are wired to constant power rather than through the kill solenoid.

For starters, I'd replace the stock GPR with a #16-009 White-Rodgers (Stancor) 586 902 "Monster Glow Plug Relay"? I replaced mine and the cracked and burnt OEM one with one from DieselORings.com. After replacing it my cold starting problems went away... some day I'll get around to replacing my...

The Rear's were Bilstein 33-176857 B6 Standard Series. I bought them through ESSEX Distributors. They were the best price I could find at the Time in Canada. The Front were the Comfort Series Bilstein shocks I bought used from another member on the forum. I'm happy with them, however, to do it...

I think you have two likely unrelated problems. 1) The box power is usually only powered on when there is oil pressure and the ambulance connect is turned on. During the conversion process, I rewired the ambulance connect so that the "house" electrical can be powered on while the engine is...

I have read some articles on the matter. For how I use my rig, I don’t have the time or energy to mess around with angles of the panel to achieve optimal efficiency. Before I mounted the panel I did play with angles... best case I saw a .2 amp different. If it was a 30% difference I’d feel it...

Couple points: I mounted a 100w panel a couple weeks back on the roof. In these parts (& time of year), the best I’ve seen so far is about 2.3 amps. Which is about 1/4-1/3 of rated output. For off peak use I’d recommend 2-3 times what you first think you’ll need. For shore power I mounted a...

https://bossairsuspension.com/load-assist-kit/universal-load-assist-kit-2600lb/ These are the ones I was suggesting. The distributor (here at least) has been willing to work with people to come up with a kit that meets you needs/application. If you go this route let us know what you figure...
