    1998 E350 7.3PSD 4x2 Red Cross Disaster Relief - 20k miles

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/262257837649 This one caught my eye, the disaster relief interior of the box would be a much better starting point than a traditional ambulance interior.

    Anyone know of Denver Fleet (4x4 van conversions)?

    I'm looking around for a wheelchair lift equipped diesel 4x4 E-350 that I can use to take my Dad to medical appointments, etc. but also pull a trailer and eventually upfit with camper systems. So looking for an older truck with good bones but don't necessarily care that much about appearances...

    So how much is a 2003 E350 4x4 worth?

    I've been watching van prices because I am considering getting a van with a handicap lift (or adding one) so that I can take my Dad some places (he is in a wheelchair now). Anyways, I noticed this van pop on craigslist for $16k and then a few days later on ebay for $26k. Would have been a deal...

    Xantrex RS3000 refurb

    I have a fairly substantial house battery system, a major component of which is my Xantrex RS3000 pure sine wave inverter charger. When I'm in "storage mode" (i.e. parked at my house) I keep shore power connected to keep the batteries topped off and keep the interior temperature above freezing...

    Do you winterize or keep it "ready to go"?

    I keep my water heater turned on (electric side not gas), pour a little RV antifreeze in the traps, and throw one of these rubber warming mats on the floor. The trap under the sink froze on me last year (was not using the warming mat), so trying to pay a bit better attention to the traps this...

    Fuso VSS spec?

    Can anyone confirm for me that the FG140 Vehicle Speed Sensor generates 25 pulses per output shaft revolution? I think that's what I'm reading in the specs, but it doesn't seem to call it out with any clarity. My M608Z tires are 586 rpm final drive ratio is 4.875 VSS pulse rate is 25 ppr VSS...

    2007 FG cruise control project.

    I've decided to get serious about doing a better cruise control for my FG. The reality is that there are often significant highway miles between where I am and where I want to be, and this will make them easier. I want something that will maintain RPMs, not speed. Since I have a manual...

    2007 FG clutch slave cylinder frozen?

    Anyone had this issue? I hadn't moved the truck in a while (started it but didn't roll it down the road because I had a lot of things loose in the camper). Went to move it today, and couldn't get the clutch to work. Figured it might need bleeding since it hadn't been used - bled it just fine...

    2005 Mitsubishi FUSO FG FG140

    East Coast (Mass.) plow truck - looks used but not abused. Some rust that will need to be worked on but nothing too offensive given the source. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-Mitsubishi-FUSO-FG-FG140-/121749105654?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

    2007 FG handbrake not holding

    Has anyone else had this issue? I've tried adjusting it several times and nothing seems to make it any better. Any tricks to it?

    Well, I broke it... again

    We spent the night at Cathedral Point UT, overlooking Canyonlands. Did okay on the way in (there are a bunch of rock ledges to negotiate) but on the way out misjudged the way the body was going to shift and ended up busting out a window on the camper... Other than this operator-induced...

    Robinson Fuso rides again - prep for Spring 2015

    It's been a while since I posted anything, but now that the weather has turned I'm back working on truck projects. A lot of mundane things like - - finally mounted / balanced my spare on the new rim that I got at Expo West last year - installed a new stereo in the Bigfoot (wanted a new head...

    Topo maps compatible with the Garmin ecosystem

    I use a Garmin dezl 7" GPS (760LMT) for primary navigation (I like a dedicated device for this) and have been getting much more familiar with Basecamp and other apps for managing multiple mapsets. For me, the most useful websites have been gpsfiledepot.com for map sets, poi-factory.com for poi...

    AED for expedition use?

    I admit that this is not something I've looked at - but talking with the NPS folks earlier this year about how they pretty much have AEDs everywhere has got me thinking - Anyone carry an AED with them (solo or club)? If so, what brand/model?
