    Kenwood CD Player

    This is barely used. Works great. Here's the description from Kenwoods website. The picture is my actual unit. If you’re looking for an affordable in-dash unit that can play CDs and your portable music player, the KDC-MP238 is a great upgrade. Play your CDs, WMA and MP3 files or plug your...

    Vac Pump or Brake Booster?

    My wifes van, 88 E-350 7.3 NA, has an occasional hard brake pedal. The cruise seems to work ok but sometimes when you push the brake pedal it down shifts to 2nd and the pedal gets hard. Other times the pedal is hard with out it downshifting. I haven't pulled the vac line off the booster to...

    FS Banks Sidewinder Turbo

    I got this from a buddy who had a parts truck. He ran it and said it worked well. I bought it as a package deal with an IP & starter. I'm going to get the IP rebuilt & keep the starter. I'd keep the turbo but I have a van & this is from a truck that had a 5 speed. So it's for sale. The cross...

    4x4 IDI Vans?

    There's a 4x4 van group on Yahoo. One of the guys over there put a ZF 5 in a late 80's E that was on a small motor home chasis. It was also 4x4. I've always thought of doing it to one of my vans, but just hasn't happened yet. Maybe some year. I would love to have all those gears! Right now I...

    Should i feel bad, or did she have it coming???

    Yeah that's what I was thinking! If he got a citation it would be a lot easier for me if his Ins. wants to fight.

    Should i feel bad, or did she have it coming???

    I just had a guy yesterday turn into my van. It was a 4 lane highway, he was in the right lane & I was in the right. Didn't even look my way & he claims I was trying to pass him in the center turn lane. Where we hit there wasn't even a turn lane, it's the opposing traffics left turn lane...

    Ford Diesel Van makes it to the South Pole

    Hey!! :backoff Stop picking on 4x4 vans! You can take alot of people & stuff more comfortable then a pick-up. Mines 4x4 & I'd really like to convert the wifes too! The newer ones are a pain to work on & thats why I drive the old ones .;Sweet

    Back in an idi again redux..this is a must see guys!

    They made CC LB trucks from the factory in 79, I'm not too sure about 78. I use to work with a guy who had one & so did his brother.They loved those trucks. I do know they said there were very few made so they are rare items. Seeing these old fords makes me miss my early 77 High Boy. I'd love...

    Tilt Steering Question

    Thanks guys :thumbsup::thumbsup:. That is a very good write up! A pic is worth 1000 words! It's amazing the wealth of knowledge on some of the truck & car sites. And it's even better when someone isn't too prideful to share what they already have figured out. Thanks again guys!! Looks...

    Tilt Steering Question

    Thanks Tom. I 'm sure I can fix it myself just some insight from those who have gone before me is always helpful;Sweet! I would think the columns couldn't be that different from a truck to a van. That is the internals. I'm sure outwardly they are different, but similar inside. Do you know...

    Tilt Steering Question

    My wheel will stay where I put it, so it's not flopping up & down. But it does now have 1-2" sideways play on the left side. I figured it's all plastic & wanna be metal in there so if I push on the wheel to hard in any direction the rest will probably break. I was praying I would be able to...

    Tilt Steering Question

    I didn't want to hear that. I figured it was going to be a bear of a job. Yeah I think the guy before me use to pull himself in with the steering wheel being 4x4 I think it was a little high for him.
