UPDATE: So after some unrealistic quotes, dead ends, and no call backs. I ended up calling "heavy haulers" out of Florida. As soon as I sent back the paperwork, I had the vehicle to me in 4 days. NY to TX Picked up Tuesday morning, Dropped off Friday morning. Super easy process from...

Thanks vintageracer. I will reach out to her Driving it the distance would not be a problem IF I had confidence the truck would make it.. (I'd do it myself, toss in some food, sleep in the back and it would be a relaxing few days..) I originally dropped it off at a shop to find a fuel leak by...

Thanks Clymber, I sent off a message to them. Let's see what happens.. it's the dilemma of doing it soon, before gas prices climb higher..or waiting, and paying more for fuel .. or just setting it on fire. :)

I dropped off my 1994 E350 Ambulance at a shop to get some work done on it a while ago. Delays..Delays..Delays in getting it diagnosed/fixed.. (long story) Meanwhile, I relocated to Texas a few months ago..but the truck still at shop. Looking for recommendations on outfits that can transport...

I have a window a/c mounted in one of the compartments. I want to see if I can run it off the solar... and I want to keep the installation cheap and simple, at this point. :)

Regarding your slide-out solar panel idea.. I have seen that a few different ways, and there is a youtube video with pneumatic actuators too.. I am changing the panels on the top of my E350 ambulance to several 250 watt residential panels I got a deal too good to pass on. My idea, which may...

I have a well worn 'portable' kettle-style charcoal grill. BUT the key for me is the accumulated cast iron plates, grates, griddles and pans I have picked up along the way. When done cooking and things have cooled off.. I toss the parts back in the grill. (Self-contained camp kitchen piñata)

@qcdstick you could do pretty much the same thing I did.. (except my unit is rotated 90* ) Put a partition on the that left side of the a/c, (separating the intake & exhaust) so it can draw air from the area below.. where that blue flashlight is.. and maybe extend a partition where that...

I have a 5000 btu window unit in one of the side compartments of my ambulance.. with the exhaust vented to the outside through vents in the door. I found separating the area by the fan helps A LOT That part of the a/c that usually hangs out of the window uses the fan to draw air over the...

Any update with this situation?

Sorry this happened.. was the other vehicle a commercial vehicle registered to a company? Don't know how much it will help in the end, but when I was speaking with my agent about insuring my old 94 e350, which has negligible book value, he told me to save EVERY receipt. So maybe collect all...

Doesn't the idi have a heater in the fuel bowl? There is a wire loop around the top of the fuel filter head.. (between the filter and the mount) that was designed to heat the fuel.. (in theory)

A high mileage IDI, running 15w40, can be temperamental in the cold. (The only thing worse is the side-eye from wife.) Maybe I should slap a "12V 100W Pizza Hot Food Delivery Bag Silicone Heating Pad/Mat" from wally world on the bottom of my oil pan, for that all day, slow simmered, goodness...

It's a converted ambulance. hmm, I hadn't thought of that as an option. time for more research. Thanks!

I am thinking it might be too many watts to run.. 2000 watt inverter, only 200aH of battery In my brain, I was thinking; keep a block a 60 degrees as it cooled down from operating temp VS warming a block UP to 60 degrees that had cooled to 20 degrees. (60 being an arbitrary number) if I kept...

Having a stock IDI is definitely about the journey, not the destination. It'll run forever, I just won't run fast.

I have a 7.3 IDI Diesel with a block heater that danced its last dance. I am going to switch it out.. but I am considering putting a 400watt replacement in, rather than the 1000watt it comes with. My rationale: Since I do not have generator, if I go somewhere without shore power, (say a ski...
