Hey all...
I'm thinking a little bit inside and a little bit out of the proverbial "box" and could use some thoughts from all the Ford diesel Gurus. I'm a Jeep guy so the diesel thing is a little foriegn but spinning wrenches is old hat for me.
I'm looking at an '02 Ford E350 Diesel Van...Yup, Van. It has a pretty good set up for what I would be looking to do but I could use some advice on what to look for specifically when going to inspect it. Is there any years (or partial years/ half years) to avoid? The one I have in my sights has 207k on it. A lot for a gasser but how do the powerstrokes do for distance? This one also has an auto tranny...anything I should be scared of there? I'm a manual guy normally but I can do a slushbox of it will hold up?
Any and all advice would be very much appreciated! I have about 2 weeks before I head out to look. So, let me have it! Thanks!
