    Ford Van Build? Can't find link, help please

    For some reason, many months ago and I think it was on this forum, I saw a Ford Sportsmobile van build by a guy who built and laminated his own cabinets and it was very well documented with pics, etc. Can anyone direct me to this build, ring a bell?

    Got My DieselSite Trans Filter!

    My new to me rebuilt trans is getting a DieselSite trans filter setup along with an aux trans cooler with a thermal valve so that in super hot climes it will open and keep trans nice and cool. The filter is mounted on the return line so it will pickup any debris that may be trapped in the...

    Need advice specific to a '94 Ford van or Truck with 2 wheel ABS -spongy brake

    So my indie, a qualified shop, after a thorough bleed determined that my abs hydraulic unit was at fault for slow sinking pedal. He replaced unit and it still feels the same to me. I am at a disadvantage as I do not know Ford, been working on MBdiesels for a long time. After a discussion, he did...

    Two aux Trans coolers vs Factory Trans Cooler?

    Just had my trans replaced finally and I thought I had an understanding with my indie to use the factory trans cooler plus an aux cooler after a thorough cleaning of the factory trans cooler. What he did was bypass my factory cooler and install a tiny (7x9) auxillary cooler. He explained that...

    Ford Van 2 wheel abs spongy pedal question

    Hi, just curious if any forum members cleared a spongy brake pedal by bleeding abs hydraulic valve first . . . My understanding is if fluid drops too low, air gets in valve and voila, spongy pedal! I am always amazed when a pro does not test for the basics first before advising expensive work ...

    1994 E350 Spongy Brake Pedal

    My indie who is doing the trans swap believes that my abs has issues due to the spongy brake pedal I reported. It appears on vans and trucks that the rear drum adjusters are an issue and can cause this issue. I drove this van all the way home from AZ to Northern California this way, had to pump...

    Air Shocks All the Way Around to Achieve Mild Lift of 2-3 inches?

    Not trying build a low rider van but would like lift when I need it. I am going to equip this van with an air locker vs 4x4 and thought perhaps I could get lift of 2-3 inches without going through the trouble of converting front end etc. Van profile could stay low on the highway and raise for...

    New trans finally!

    Thanks to all on this forum for the advice over many months - finding a shop to diagnose and replace my trans (e40D) was not easy . . too many fly by nights and my experience with Ford where they flat out lied and were caught did not help. Going with a Napa shop that is going to install a...

    Bad Overdrive or OD Solenoid Create NON Movement in Any Gear in E40D

    Finally have my van at what I hope is a trustworthy shop - nearly got screwed by a very dishonest Ford dealership. My question for the trans experts is could a failing OD unit or OD Solenoid create any kind of non movement situation in a E40d? My OD on the road would rumble and I would clear it...

    E40D Question for Transmission Expert

    Short story, I disconnected my batteries this winter (1994 e350 idi 7.3 van) and as a result, lost all fault codes. If I start the van, will the computer remap at idle and fault codes start to show up - currently no line pressure (as I have been told) trying to figure out this issue correctly...

    E40D Update: Very bad experience with Ford

    So after nearly a year of a non op e350 van ('94 e350 idi) I have my van towed to St. Helena Ford where it sits for three weeks. The lazy ass service manager, who did not bother to take notes from me regarding what happened when trans died was clueless and demonstrated this when I stopped by to...

    Still Thinking I want to Push Fuel vs. Pull

    I still feel strongly about pushing fuel vs. pulling, fuel pumps are designed this way and frankly, I like the idea of easier engine access for my '94 IDI Van by relocating factory filter head and putting it in a protected spot along frame rail with a guard. Anyone else do this?

    Decided Not to Add 4x4 - instead 4x2 on '94 e350 van

    After much research I have decided to not convert my wanna be e350 sportsmobile project van to 4x4. it's tempting but too damn expensive to warrant at this time. Instead, it will get a mild lift, and I will add a rear air locker. Not really going to 4 wheel this rig anyway as even when I had 4x4...
