Hello,
This is my first post. I just bought this 1993 Ford E350 Ambulance Attachment 53782
It's a 7.3 idi diesel. This is the first and only diesel I've ever owned. I know from reading how important it is to run the right coolant in these engines. I'd decided on using Final Charge global. Thoughts on that?
I want to get a coolant flush, transmission flush, and engine oil change. The guy I bought it from wouldn't tell me anything about it. He was basically worthless in terms of information. So I figured by changing all these oils I can start a log book and know what I'm starting with. I'm finding it's hard to find someone who can fit the dually box van on their lifts. Midas won't, Jiffy Lube won't. Mr. Tire won't. Sure the Ford dealership can, but they charge such a premium.
Do any of you have any mechanics or shops you recommend? It's an odd sized vehicle, and I'm learning that diesels and duallys are hard to even find mechanics for.
Any help is appreciated.
I suppose it should be in a separate post, but I'm seriously interested in converting it from a dually to a single wheel if anyone has knowledge or is in MN and can do this please send me a PM.
Thanks!
PS I'm in the Twin Cities Area
