UJOR Build Thread

[mgmetalworks]

I used Forscan to completely turn the TPMS off on my 2010 (because I don't have sensors in the wheels I am currently running). I went into the BCM as built files in module 726-02-01 where the tire pressure setpoints are stored. I'd love to see some different as builts for other e-350s with different features to figure out what can be turned on/off.

The good news is that the vans are relatively simple and a lot fewer options than trucks so the combinations of as built data are manageable. I already have a spreadsheet going and I've downloaded dozens of as built files from VINs of various option configs...

I've been hunting and pecking (flipping individual bits in likely places and observing results), we can share knowledge if you want.

Biggest issue I'm running into is changing the differential and wheel sizes. Seems like it is in the PCM not the BCM, which I don't have easy access to.

Happy Monday fellas

Chris, have you ever used ORI struts on a conversion? It would free up some space and save a bit of weight on the front end. Each strut is a spring, a damper, a bump stop and a limiter all in one package.

They support about 1900 pounds IIRC, so you may need a pair of them depending on corner weight. These struts are not cheap, so it would likely be reserved for the guys who really want to tune their ride or the higher budget builds.

I haven't but they look cool! I've seen them on a few rigs but have no 1st hand experience.

And.... on the ground to check clearances! We re used the stock springs on this one to keep it low. So, stock springs up front, add a leaf & 3" block in the back on 33" tires. Still plenty of work to finish this rig (tint, roof rack, bumpers)

Ricky does like the big shoes. I'm assuming it's the same Ricky with the 10"er from your website. His tire/wheel selection was actually an influence on my rig.

SoCal 7.3 is getting close! Final touches before she goes home. I'll whip up a video and final pics soon.

Flex test after swap pictures?

We can but have twisted up plenty of our 6" leaf kits.

How about some updates on ALPHA Van?
It's gotta be near completion or did I miss the latest info?

 

[ujoint]

Alpha is trucking along. Busted another window so the doors had to be re painted and now they're done. Intake is all mocked up, just have some BS with the power windows/locks to finish up before alignment and miles.

 

[Bbasso]

Yikes!
Sorry to hear but it does sound much closer to being ready for some miles. Be sure to get a video of the first time firing that beast up!

 

[ujoint]

Its already been fired, you missed it! It's been running for a while.

Did you ever get that steering assist installed? Love to hear more details/see pictures of that.
