Ford E450 4x4 build revival

[xracer144]

The left front caliper was packed with a sand/mud mixture that I had to chip away like it was cement. I was able to free everything up. I hope the heat didn’t cook the seals on the pistons. I went for an hour cruise around town last night and it seems ok. ?

I hooked up my Propex 2800 propane furnace. Like everything else so far, I did 99% of the installation and then brought it to someone to certify the work. The Propex heater works awesome. It was able to maintain 20c degrees over night when the outdoor temp was -25c. I also mounted and plumbed my grey water tank. A few more tweaks and I’ll be ready for the zombie apocalypse.

Looking good. What propane tank did you go with and where did you purchase it. I am hunting for the right one, for my needs.

Glad to here about the Propex. I am waiting for a HS2800 to come into the US. No dealers have any.

hey Mike, the tank I got is an Armebe. I found it brand new in Toronto on Kijiji and had it shipped to me in Winnipeg. Its a smaller tank than I wanted, but the price was right. I think with shipping i paid about $300.CAD. The guy that certified it said I'm lucky is was a Canadian model, as they have a different standard then the U.S. tanks do that are sold on Ebay. He's got a few that people bought that he couldnt certify in his shop. The Propex heater is performing really well. There has been a few nights now that I have left the heat on when we were in the -20 range and it maintained 60 degrees at a little over half throttle.
