I know a lot of you have E250/ E350 with 351W so heres one for you:
My van: 1992 351W 160,000 miles. Well maintained.
Classic bucking/ stuttering misfiring etc. issue but comes and goes like most of these do. The last round of this was way worse than usual though, in addition to the random...
The saddest part of this conversation is we (as a nation, well... the ultra conservative part at least) are complaining about paying people $15/ hour minimum wage when most families can't get by on even $20/ hour. I'm not talking about those living beyond their means I'm talking about hard...
This seems to happen in the auto restoration industry as well and I am dealing with something similar with a project of mine as we speak, although on a far smaller scale. Car went in, was supposed to be first in line at his new place. More and more projects show up, I assume he has taken...
Once I sealed up the fuel return and went to a spin on fuel filter I've never had a leak. Perhaps you are getting a little seepage and its collecting in the valley and emptying out on the bellhousing? Our powerstroke truck did that when the fuel bowl/ pump/ lines were leaking.... wonder if the...
these IDIs have one large power cable from the batteries to the starter and one smaller ignition wire from the solenoid to the starter, I've had problems with the smaller wire coming loose at the little screw connection on the starter and making it not start intermittently, give that a check and...
there isn't much on an IDI that will truly leave you stranded, I honestly couldn't think of a more perfect engine for backcountry travel really... just stick to the basics which is basically what you've already listed and you'll be fine
Looks like the really clean low mileage B190 I was eyeballing on craigslist in CO. The ad had an old lady sitting in a chair under the awning drinking what appeared to be a Busch Light. Was a nice looking rig.
Check the coolant and plan on flushing if the owner doesn't know the last time its been done. Takes about 8 gallons of the good stuff.
Check the radiator for leaks, they are rather pricey for a good one.
Plan on doing the fuel return lines and caps, glow plug relay and glowplugs. These can be...
I was just designing these in my head on my way to work the other morning because my thigh was burning from the lack of support. Nice looking product, its a shame the japanese haven't figured out a seat yet!
toppers are a tough sell here because most people don't use them and the ones that do are like me where they paid $80 for it out of someone's front yard and it gets the job done when you need it.... i see those as more of a midwest/ west coast accessory.... maybe im
wrong but i've certainly seen...
that's just part of selling anything in the days of the internet as the buyers have so many more options or examples to choose from which leads me to another question:
there is obviously enough demand on this side of the country for high quality, small, lightweight truck campers as there seems...
When I was looking for my first truck camper I had been travelling out to CO for several weeks a year and it was like there was a good deal on a truck camper on every corner. I settled on a less than perfect and very overpriced Grandby from NC but that got me thinking... are there others out...
Just so this shows up one someones elses search-
If you want an economical 4x4 van buy one that is already done (right) and save a TON of money. One ton axles and parts are not cheap and the work isn't cheap either. Personally I couldn't imagine taking my rig on a road where it is bobbling back...
