Good luck with the project. Exciting times. 880s maybe too stiff. I did 860s on my extended e350.

You need to change the output shaft to a longer one (4x4 version and requires to gut out the transmission) ) and change the output tail for a double flange. These are the markings on my flange. You will have to drill and tap a hole on your transmission since the flange is for older version of...

Oh the possibilities! Nice van. I have a similar family set up, wife and twin daughters (now 18 y.o.) and the adventures we have done in vans are priceless.

I didn't have any issues when installing a 2008 F350 axle on my 2010 E350 other than the connector being swapped (female connector was on the chassis on the van and on the axle on the truck or vice-versa). Maybe in your specific combinations the sensors have different resistance and the module...

I cut and bend the crossmember and bolted it to the MG brackets. It was a temporary fix. I was supposed to fabricate something more elaborate but two and a half years a lots of off-roading that a van has no business doing and still works.

I have a MaxxAir fan and I think the possibility to reverse the rotation is worth it. I find that when sleeping in hot weather I like to have the air blowing towards me.

Like 50% of Texas, I went to Colorado a couple of weeks ago. Great trip. Not sure if my 18 y.o. daughters would enjoy it since it implied climbing mountains, quite a bit of 4x4 trails and very little urban exposure, but they did enjoyed. We went straight to Lake City and then we did the Alpine...

Great project. I looks like you are more than capable of turning this thing around. The wire mess could be from a trailer controller or, since this was a fleet van, a monitoring device. For your high roof, I’ve been considering doing something like what you have in mind, but I do no thing it’s...

Alpine Loop and Mineral Creek, Colorado.

Mine is holding quite well under the Houston Sun. I've replaced 4 times already the red pinstripe. The last one I was tired of taped pin stripes and used Ford tractor red in rattle can. The Monstaliner is holding quite well. If you have doubts, do not do it. If you love it, go for it. On this...

I did Monstaliner. Mine was peeling really bad. It was a fleet van and they did a poor paint job to paint the original brown paint to silver as the rest of the fleet. I am quite pleased with the results. It is a rough look, but that’s What I was after.

American Basin, out of the Alpine loop, ready to climb Mount Handies.

Tired of replacing the faded and messed up vinyl pinstripe I decide to paint it using tractor and farm paint. Ford Red. Tested a wider stripe in the rear door but decided for a more subtle all around. Also added this lights for the under bed Storage. $10 for four of them intended for rock...

Trim the plastic piece. The metal bumper could be trimmed too or you can put some sort of spacers and make it stick further forward. Those rims are not from a F150. They are from F250 or F350. Your van is not a U-joint conversion. It is probably MG Metalworks (Maybe supplied by U-joint, but a...

One of my all time favorite cars.

After install the CC860S were about 2" taller than the CC880. From the CC880S to CC880 I lost 1" so I guess the CC860S is 1" taller than the CC880S on my van with the 5.4l. On yours with the extra weight of the 7.3 you may get the same height with a softer ride. All this dimensions are once...

It's good to see Yolanda running on new front axle. As for alignment I am pleased with these cams 2.3 de. Fix Cam Driver and 2.3 deg. Fix Cam. Getting the springs that makes you comfortable is a tedious process. On my 5.4 gas I've gone with the CC880S (Too stiff), CC880 (too low) and finally...

It is holding very well in the areas I did good prep. The old rear bumper was chrome and didn’t other too much so it got some scuffs. The only spot that upsets me is under the drivers door handle. I guess I didn’t sand it and it peeled off a little bit. I see it every time I have to enter...

No. The bottom, front bumper and the brown sides were done with Monstaliner. The textures are different "bubbly" on the Monstaliner and "raspy" on the HF. Page 2 of this thread shows the painting process
