    2000 Ford 7.3L Motovan build (225's build cont'd)

    Thanks! I'm still plugging away at it to finish up for the trip. Bed and paint is in. Still trim left to do. And drawer fronts. Cabinet test fitted. Need to make some adjustments, but getting there.

    LOTS of trim work left. Most of the walls are up, bed frame built. I have to build a sink / cabinet, some drawers, paint, and trim work. Bed comes in Monday and I'll be putting it on the bed frame I got from Ikea.

    I went to Ford today to order headlight parts that got lost in the mail. They had all but a couple in stock. They said they keep them in stock because Ujoint orders them all the time haha. I'm waiting on headlight adjusters and I'm building a bracket for the hood latch. But I mocked everything...

    The other day I got on the interstate and the rear end started vibrating real bad. I was like oh boy, here we go..... Come to find out I either didn't tighten the driveshaft flange enough or something, but the bolts were loose. After some thread locker and a re-tighten, everything is running...

    I have a iPad 11 Pro, and just got a RAM Mount holder for it. Looking for a good place to mount it. Would love to see similar setups, or any for that matter!

    I don’t know. Just must be our crew vans then. They get used pretty hard.

    2020 Ford Transit AWD

    Don’t mean to sound like a negative Nancy, but have any of you guys (other than Chris) drove a Transit before? The A/C suuuucks. We drive the Transits at work and none of them have cold AC’s.

    Thought I would be riding today, but a no go. There's air in the fuel and brake lines. I'll deal with it tomorrow. But here's the progress: One shiny new welded up shorter tank. All new calipers / rotors / e brakes / pads / seals. Not a fan of the e brake. When I took the cable off the...

    The 2021 E-Series is supposed to get an interior face lift. That with the new 7.3 gas engine will be something I'll be wanting to get with a 12ft SRW box. I'm curious if the 7.3 gasser will have better mpg's than the V10.

    I made some progress today. Had to grind down a socket. Bent some shims, need more. The good news is, I got the pinion preload set. No idea where I am with the depth yet. I haven't checked it. But I did get the locker in. Had to fuss with it a bit. Still a long way to go, but tomorrow I'll be...

    I still need to hunt down some parts for the front end. I decided to go ahead and spray the front cap. My main goal right now is to finish the rear end and shorten the fuel tank. This turd has came a long way. Almost got her where I want it. Before and present: The to do list left: Rear...

    When things are going great, what do you do? Mess it up right??? With a lot of cursing and sweating, I have the rear axle out: Carnage: Empty housing: I was thrown for a loop when I seen this tone ring. But I've been told just install it as see and I shouldn't have any setup...
