    2005 Econoline 5.4

    Well, never thought I would be buying one of these vans, but the right deal presented itself. I know of the spark plug problems and plague the Triton motors, but what else to look at? I have some motorcraft plugs/coils coming along with a host of other maintenance items. It does have 190k on it...

    Water Leak Into Cab

    Alright fellas, before I go crawling under the dash I was wondering if there is a common entry point for water into the cabs of the bullnose trucks. Its leaking on the passenger side floor, where your feet would be if you were to sit there. This morning there was about a cup of water on the floor.

    Door Adjustment

    So on my last trip I noticed both doors have a decent amount of slop in them when they are latched in place (close position). The doors are lined up properly with the cab, and close correctly, but there is in/out movement in the door when its latched in place. This makes it so when you hit a...

    Mercedes Sprinter

    Well a steal of a deal is coming into my lap for a 2011 Mercedes Sprinter Passenger van. Grandfather bought it new to camp in, and he is meticulous at maintaining it. I don't know the mileage on it but I would venture to guess south of 100k. He said KBB trade in value was 16k on it, but is...

    7.3 IDI Complete Assembly, OR

    I'm getting the itch to swap out the 460 in my new truck with an IDI. I'm looking for a complete runner around the Eugene area, but willing to travel to Portland down to Medford. Factory Turbo would be a plus.

    My 460 Build

    I've decided (aka been wishy washy) on what to do with my 2 trucks. I'm going to focus on tearing apart my F250 and going through it in the best body on rebuild as possible. In the mean time, I'll need a truck to do my weekly truck duties, so I'm going to give the 460 more love. So far I've...

    Stiff Clutch Pedal

    So my truck hasn't been ran in forever and the clutch pedal is stiff as all get out. The Pedal itself feels like its binding up where it pivots on itself, and I can see what appears to be metal shavings sitting underneath it, which in my pea brain says that there is some metal on metal action...

    The "Spot The Problem" Thread

    So I had to move the truck down to our new home about 200 miles away. The last time it was really driven was when I drove from Tx to Or after it had sat for 3 years. It has sat for about 3 years this time too. I did drive to town a few times in those 3 years, but nothing far. I bled injectors...

    New Truck, Swap Coming!

    So I moved to a new area of Oregon for my new job as an enjuneer, fresh out of school. A friend of mine has a 1500 acre ranch down there. I'm actually living with him and his wife (knew her in HS) while I work M-F and then go back up North a few hours where my family currently is. Well one night...

    1997 B4V TDI

    Figure I will go ahead and post it up here as well, if anyone is interested. I bought this car from the original owner, a friendly old Vietnam Vet. The car was purchased at Elvin Hayes Volkswagen in Houston, Texas on 12/11/96. While the car was taken on many trips by him and his wife, it...

    I have a problem

    As much as the B4V is a badass rig, it's time for us to let it go... well after I put all the parts I have stockpiled into it LOL A few weeks ago we picked up a creampuff 2011 JSW CR TDI. DSG unfortunately, as the 6 speeds are hard to find and fetch a premium. 28K miles, 1 owner, great price...

    TDI Ford Explorer

    We need something bigger than the B4V. Add into that, that I wanted something I could use some of the engineering skills I have aquired (LOL) from school. My wife got behind a swap of some sort. While cruising craigslist one day, I found an 02 4x4 Explorer, no trans/transfer case, and a blown...

    Mobil Delvac Oil On Sale

    Saw this on a tdi forum, and its a good deal. I'm getting 5 gallons of ESP 5w-40 full synthetic for about $45 after rebate. Regular Delvac is on sale as well. The processing for the rebate takes 6-8 weeks. Find an autoparts store that has a sale going on, get it at that price, and then you...

    Wicked Wheels

    So I just read that we might be seeing some wicked wheel #2 (WW2) coming out for the OE ATS kit (093 ATS). The WW2 seems to be a very nice, affoardable upgrade for powerstrokes, so it will be interesting to see what they can do on these turbo's.

    With A Heavy Heart...Its Time to Let Go

    With a title like that you know exactly what I mean. I have thought about this long and hard, and have come to the conclusion that its time to let the truck go. I dont use it, and have no use for it. The more it has sat, the worse its condition has gotten. I'm a firm believer that something...

    P Pumped 8.3 Cummins + Allison MD3060 price

    I'm helping my parents sell off what remains of the coach that they had (total'ed). It has the 325hp P pumped 8.3l Cummins, and a MD3060 trans. This combo moved that coach along awesome, thing was darn near a hotrod for the size (could pull 6% grades gaining speed, while grossing around 34K)...

    WTH, Pre Trip Jitters...

    Okay so now that I got past the brake caliper bolt, I thought I was all done. I started the truck up so I could back it out of the garage so the exhaust would be outside (truck facing in) while I made sure the brakes were up to par. And then..... 1 minute of idling later, it stalls and...

    Need it by Thursday, Dec. 12. Send me a pm with a price shipped. I have an aftermarket POS from LMC on it, and I'm tired of it. Its tightened all the way, but it vibrates real bad and makes it so its almost not even usable. I have a passenger side one, so I just need the drivers side. OEM...

    Fan Shroud Bolts

    What size, thread pitch, etc? Not familiar with any junkyards around here, so I would rather just buy a few new ones and call it good. Stock radiator sprung a leak towards the top. Have a champion radiator ready to go with a motorcraft cap, along with new hoses. Just need those darned fan...
