Hmm...... :unsure: follow the poop pellets! (y):ROFLMAO: kidding.... :oops::cautious::sick: well the places I would look first if it were me: firewall for ANY holes or ANY damage of ANY kind.... cabin air filter for signs of passage around the rest of the heater core box, some had the...

On gross... Nothing I hated worse when a tech as doing something underneath and a big full nest vell all over your face... paranoid of diseases. Hmm....for it to be in the B pillar I would first suspect some sort of hole in a grommet in the firewall somewhere, but they could also sneak up...

IN as in the cab??

Oh that's always how it is! like how the last header bolt is the only frozen one and busts off... Or the only spark plug wire bad on a van is the back two... I swear engineers do it on purpose hahahahha Thanks for the link :-)

Can you elaborate? What years? Are these critical failures that require engine replacement?

Have you made a decision with this? I actually like the idea for a few reasons. 1) you can get the system ready without going outside in bad weather, 2) less openings and points of entry for water intrusion. But, my concern would be smell and feasibility. I personally have 0 experience with...

In regards to your original post... I think it warrants an evaluation of just how valuable those items you listed are to you I suppose. To me, I keep some very valuable things in my trailer - granted it is my home too, so there is that. But the security in knowing my valuables are 'somewhat'...

Oh man this sounds terrible! I had considered doing Atlas springs as well, but after getting into all my work and not knowing future weights I found out that SD (10th gen) 250 springs ended up giving me the perfect ride... Except for the Bilstein shocks (junk). If you really wanted to you...

It sure is great seeing all the different opinions and experiences! :) I will say this, as a Ford guy, I will (likely) never own anything newer than a 7.3 Ford, or 24v Dodge. 1) it is way more $ than I could ever afford, or want to afford. 70K are you serious!? 2) though Ford is increasing...

Ok, I'll stir the pot here. 300#'s per square foot for the average human!?! Um....I think you have made an awful lot of assumptions in this post without realizing it. That being said. I also agree that a permanent ladder is not the best of ideas. It obviously adds possibilities for water...

I've been seeing more older 9th gen 7.3's pop up for sale the last few days (in western MT through western WA) in pretty good condition as well if that is in your consideration.

Ahh ok, I didn't realize that. That's a big bummer!

My opinion... Get the right tire/wheel combo now. Dont go cheap or try to just 'get buy' until later. I've seen too many problems people have trying to just 'get by' on tires. That's one of the things you shouldn't be cheap on as compared to other things. I ended up spending quite a bit of...

Interesting thread. Following, as Ive been struggling to find a solution to something very similar to your situation Zybane as I am in a very similar situation as yourself. Since your considering military chassis, is there a reason you have not listed a 5-ton as a possibility? I have recently...

OOOo yeah! hahaha wow I wasn't paying attention to the picture obviously. Forget I even made that comment.... :rolleyes::oops::whistle:

Nice! Did you double check the new thickness to make sure you didn't take off a tad too much?? For some reason my memory seems to think those were a press on fit - but it's been a while...

Oh no! How much trimming was needed? I'm wondering if its something I might try.... I'm glad your other option worked out ok though

Updates?

More updates, more thinking and scratching the brain. I finally got around to doing some 'checking' on a few things and am yet again concerned about the desired chosen plan. First, I visited the original manufacturer of S&S campers, and WOW I was SUPER disappointed!!! For one, their campers...
