    Arctic Ambulance

    I have a small 1 gallon compressor sitting behind the passenger seat. It is slow, but will put out over 120 psi. Why mount a tank? I have a portable tank I could use, I have a Bostich pancake I could us and a DeWalt with twin tanks.....I have not found the need for a lot of air or pressure.

    Arctic Ambulance

    Thank you very much. Mine is a retired ambulance. Very low miles. Still very old. But I have no real rust underneath and the springs look to be in good condition. Just a big curve. It has had the curve since before I loaded it up with my tools and parts. I do not believe I am overloading it.

    Thanks, mine have quite a bit of curve. When I contacted a spring company they said the 9 and 10 leaf spring packs have a flat contour but when I asked if mine should be curved they would not respond. It has been impossible to get an opinion from anyone that should know. Not sure why.

    Since yours is a 94 e350 and mine is a 92, and they are very similar in size if not identical, can I ask how much reverse curve there is in your rear leaf springs? I have 9 leaves and am thinking about replacing them.

    Vacuum Pump

    I think I am going to have to get a spare and soon. Mine is less then a year old from O'Reilly's and it recently dropped from 27 to 20 on the road.

    Rotella oil deal

    It does not get cold enough to matter much in the Chattanooga TN area. And you are correct about the cold rating.

    Rotella oil deal

    I despise not having cupholders but I missed that gem of a thread. I have been using synthetic oil since the late 70's. I just have not had a diesel truck, only tractors, skidders.

    Rotella oil deal

    At the risk of making this nice moderate oil thread a 20 page slugfest....How many are using a modern full syn 5-40 in a hot climate? I run it in my Ram 6.4 and 150000 miles and purrs like a kitten. But this is a (old)diesel and I am moderately old and have always heard to use a 15W. NO flaming...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    That is an impressive Bronco and engine build. I have never seen a Centurion Bronco that I know of......I like it. I have no pics but I put a new fitting in place of the Schrader valve and ran a line to a pressure gauge to check on my fuel pressure under a load. I will have to post some pics of...

    New insight in IDI burning WMO - need high compression or turbo

    I am familiar with the additives. I am not familiar with the deposits etc. I use additives in my IDI as the low sulfur fuel sucks. I just wanted to know what these experienced people had tried/used.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Interesting. Mine has some body roll and slap when cornering, but I am also interested in how your acceleration and performance on hills is.

    New insight in IDI burning WMO - need high compression or turbo

    Has anyone tried the additives to increase cetane or clean the deposits out?

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    May I ask how well you can go with that camper on there? I have an E350 ambulance 2 years newer and non turbo.....

    Selling upgraded drop in fans!

    Has anyone put one in a van yet? And is the stock clutch just a regular viscous type? I am very interested but I will put another temp gauge in first. Is there another location to put the sending unit or do you guys just remove the stock one and disable the factory gauge?

    Another good reason to stay out of Calif.

    I have a cousin that moved all his family out of Ca to Texas, it is booming in Texas. I also meet multitudes of people here in Tenn from Cali. I work as a mobile RV tech and they are coming in droves.

    And it is an XL not an XLT......according to the badge.

    My speedo is dead on by gps so I guess mine is fine. I was hoping it would eliminate the TPS as it is a plain old pain in the a$$ to adjust and get the wires hooked up to read. Still, I like the idea of it.

    Arctic Ambulance

    I would like an in depth explanation of what a US Shift Quick4 is and how to "look" at the speed sensor(where it is) and pigtail on the diff does what? Ok, I went and looked up the Shift rig....wow, that is nice. Does that require the factory sensors like the TPS etc. or does it operate...

    Timing lights

    Ok, I thought the light part was just a strobe light and the adapter had the adjustments in them. Thought I might get to us the old Craftsmen again...

    Timing lights

    I have a timing light from the 70's, a Craftsman. I see that some of these timing systems work with a light? I could not determine if I just need to get one of the pulse adapters? Anyone care to elaborate on the requirements for this.....

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I can't believe you moved North from VT. I spent most all of 52 years in Maine and when I moved I jumped all of New England and landed in Tenn.....and damned if the weather didn't find me after 11 years. You can have it back anytime. I have burned my last stick of wood ever. Well, I like a...
