    No idea. Mine with a 7.3 PSD is great. I’ve not heard anything bad... V10s seem good for towing so it should be quiet and do well.

    97 E350 Crestline Ambo Build/Mod

    The ambulance came equipped with an intake and an exhaust fan from the up-fitter... but they tend to be loud and not super effective. I’m aware I can get quieter versions... but I’m avoiding the expense atm, Our temps here are fairly mild... but in the sun it’ll get warm in the back. The big...

    97 E350 Crestline Ambo Build/Mod

    I really like the look of those, Thanks. I'm hoping to try a fan in the window first... and if it needs more, I'll add an exhaust fan on the roof also.

    97 E350 Crestline Ambo Build/Mod

    Now that the weather is getting warmer, I’m once again considering getting a 200-230mm 12v computer fan to install in the door window that opens in the side Ambulance door. The ambulance up-fitters fans using 3” ducts are loud an ineffective. Since there are no other windows that open, more rear...

    Another Van Build... E350 V10 4x4 & Cargo Trailer

    Glad you found the CC solution. I struggled with mine for quite a while... changing parts, etc... eventually I realized it was working, but a ‘97 doesn’t have any indicator lights. Sometimes I even use it at 30mph in town so I can focus on more important things and not have to watch the...

    Do I need to weather seal nutserts? (mounting stuff to Ambulance exterior)

    On an aluminum bodied ambulance I’d lean towards aluminum nut-certz... I’ve bought & used them before. I’d keep in mind what I’m mounting and ensure that they’d be at least 3 times as strong as what would be required... standard Ambulance overkill ;) In general the joint created...

    Moog CC880 on 2014 E350?

    CC880 is the P/N. The P/N Rock Auto gave is for a different spring. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/2wd-stock-spring-upgrades.148037/ I’ve not read all of the following thread... http://www.sportsmobileforum.com/forums/f12/suspension-lift-9988-3.html

    E350 Interior noise and steering?

    Let us know how it works out... :D Cruising around town I can ask the kids questions at the back of the truck +/- 12’ away without anyone having to raise their voice to answer. Under normal/moderate acceleration, we have to raise our voices somewhat to be hear each other from the back...

    97 E350 Crestline Ambo Build/Mod

    I soldered a female plug to the OEM wiring and then plugged in two panels similar to the one pictured above. The dome light is now super bright... perhaps one panel would have been enough... ;) It almost feels like there’s a super even & bright headlight is mounted on the ceiling... no more...

    97 E350 Crestline Ambo Build/Mod

    Upgraded the overhead light to a pair of LED panels. Something like 36 LEDs each... I don’t remember the lumens offhand, but the are very bright.

    97 E350 Crestline Ambo Build/Mod

    An accident at 3:15 am took out the power to about 3000 homes for 6 hours... it was handy to have a Microwave to heat up my son's lunch for school.

    In stealth mode, the fridge would be all that would be left. The inverter is directly wired with a remote so it also could be on.

    232 amp hours... although it generally isn’t recommended to go below 50%. This should mean the fridge can run 2-3 days without draining the batteries too much. Once the 100w solar panel is mounted to the roof, that should increase a lot... 7a potential should be enough to keep ahead of the...

    Sprinter 4WD Conversion Idea, GMT-800 IFS.

    The time vs money problem seems to be one common to all building custom rigs. I’m glad to see you’re able to start moving forward again. I’ve also seen RV owners who have covers for their wheels to protect them from UV damage... if you put some on now, it’d conceal when you started working on...

    Picked up a pair of 6 v golf cart batteries. I need to drill new holes for the bar that secures them. For perspective, the bar is installed where it fit for the previous batteries... about 4” lower. This year of Crestline will fit them without significant modifications. I had to tip the...

    E350 Chinook Build

    I’m sure it’ll look awesome... given how good it looked white, it’ll look good in almost any colour... except for hot pink... then we’d have to have an intervention and find it a new home (or put it down so it didn’t have to live with the shame). ;)
