You've probably sorted out the gearing already, but in case you haven't. Our rigs are probably similar in weight and wind resistance. I went to a 235/85R16 tire which is a hair less than 32 inches with the stock 4.10 gears and it's a touch too tall. It does cruise nice and is a bit quieter...

Dude, so bummed to read about your continued motor issues. I appreciate your ethics in regards to the gofundme. But maybe think of it from the perspective of your fans. We've all much enjoyed your posts and we'd hate to see this all come to and end. Just from an entertainment point of view...

Great recovery! You work fast!!

Large amounts of progress in the last couple days. I have vanquished the octopus of the original ambulance wiring harness. (well, almost vanquished) I've eliminated most of the wiring I don't need. Pulled it all from where it was routed through the floor into the electrical cabinet. Removed...

Maybe I'm missing something but the price of the adapters seems insane. For the Econoline version of the 6.0 with the bottom mount filter it seems like a simple adapter to a remote mounted filter shouldn't have to cost $1,000 or more. If it was a GM it would be like $80...

Similar with the 6.0, the engine filter is super easy to change on the pickups and about 30 minutes of moving crap to access it in the vans. The only upside is that there is a large pre-filter so the smaller one on the engine doesn't get the full load of sediment and stuff.

A couple suggestions based on where I'm at with my own ambo build. I've removed all connections from the starter batteries to the aux power. My auxiliary / camper panel will be fully independent except for: a) a DC to DC charger so I my auxiliary lithium battery bank can charge from the...

Is the engine fuel filter on the 7.3 as much of a pain in the ass to get to as the one on the 6.0? I hadn't even thought of replacing that with a remote unit but it's tempting thought. At least the chassis fuel filter is an easy change.

I can't say as my 4x4 kit is still in boxes but I don't like having the oil filter hanging down to get smashed with a rock. So I'm planning to use relocate kit.

Whelp, after many life interruptions and general procrastination I'm back to working on Bob the Adventure Ambo. A couple years back after I did the roof raise I had to get it back together and mostly usable in a real hurry. Now I'm finally digging back into to correct all the corners I cut...

I'll second that you should at least consider raising the side walls. I was in a rush when I did my roof raise and in hindsight I'm wish I'd done a cabover and a butt tuck while I was at it. Some things just aren't obvious until you're standing in the space and realize what you need or don't need.

Great swap! I'm wondered about it replacing my own 6.0 with the Godzilla.

Next year I'll have a good deal on a 2009 front suspension, but the shipping will be a bugger.

I've seen people glue in new bases to match whichever LED bulbs they preferred. Personally I've never bothered as I only use mine if I'm trying to find a campsite at night, keeping the deer at bay on backroads or trying to find things on the ground at night. For me, they are never on long...

Thanks for the info!!

According to the AutoZone catalog there's quite the difference in size. The bearing race diameter looks the same though. https://www.autozone.com/brakes-and-traction-control/brake-rotor/p/duralast-brake-rotor-42260/914208_0_0...

That awning looks great! Have a model number or supplier link?

I'm still on 16" rims so if the 2009 E350 brakes are bigger then the rims still fit.

Good to see ya posting. >>Do 16" dually wheels fit over the newer brakes? I seem to recall Chris at Ujoint stating the bigger brakes needed a minimum 17" wheel but that's for the 4x4 axle from the F series.

and this is the switch panel I'll be using. Just a little smaller than the original. ;)
