yea it comes on when you first start it then it goes out like everything is normal...

Yup thanks guys batteries are both new and Plenty of CCA. The alt is new and from a professional re-builder, so it should be good to go, but if I dont find anything else wrong soon I may bring it back to them. Belt is tight and good tension. The gov body I purchased this one from did a...

Hey everyone... I have a question that I am hoping someone with knowledge could answer for me. I have owned 5 ambulances and I have never had an issue with a charging system. This current rig is a 1994 Chevy with 40k miles, and 6.5 diesel. My current issue is a "NO charge." The ALT is a...

Yup go with MONSTALINER... done several builds in it.. best bang for buck

I have only just listed my ADV vehicle for sale... Is your BIL considering Trades?

It really depends on the terrain and speed. Cruising hard at 70+ in the WV mountains it only gets about 10... Flat ground cruising around 65 it gets about 14+. I really like it cruising on the HWY and side roads, the independent from suspension may not be as tough as a straight axle like all...

Thanks GTbensley! Yea I have been totally impressed with this 6.5. It runs very cool, and will pull up steep grades without a prob. My IDI would drop to 40-45 mph or so on the same hills...

Yea I would just ask hypothetically for your information to see, but when it comes to actually registering it the title states its a K3500 and thats how I present it to my DMV. Also when insuring it I use Geico and just provide the VIN. I have never had a problem registering or insuring it...

Im not sure the rules on going TO canada?? Im sure someone on here would know, and perhaps there is already a post somewhere. Or you could prob check with your local motor vehicle department... I would be curious though

if there is some surface rust I would use Chassis Saver by Magnet Paints... Awesome stuff

yup it was for sale on Public surplus or Gov deals, I was following it but it went a little too high for me. There seems to be a dealer in TX that is buying a lot of them from the auction sites. Not sure it was the same guy but a v10 van from Washington was bought and then for sale in TX.

Mine.. I just posted a little build on it today

I thought I would share my latest build with everyone. As the title states, its a 97 Chevy 4x4 Diesel 6.5 with 70k original miles. It has a wheeled coach box with the cab pass through and large side window which is great. I think its pretty rare to have the combo of diesel, with 4x4 and the...

Awesome rig man! I just picked up my 4th ambo and this time its a chevy 4x4 with the 6.5 and 70k miles. Ill be curious to see what direction you go.

Patoz, You are exactly right! I was able to find the identifying tags today, and it is def Wheeled Coach you def called it! I will be over there tomorrow working on it again and will get the inside height measurement for ya. This is def the best ambo I have owned in my opinion, its pretty...
