    I need to take a look under mine to figure out where it would go. Is it tucked up enough for the bottom feed to be well out of the way of rocks? Might need a little skid plate. I do have dual filler necks for a transfer flow tank I don't use anymore and may be able to use that plumbing for the...

    I'm curious about the tank if you still have it. Where was it mounted and how did you fill it?

    Need new rear axle on 2000 ford e350

    I just had my rear end rebuilt in my 2000 E350 Quigley. It has the 4.10 as well and is a full float D-60. Compare with pictures of the hub section between your rear wheel lug nuts online to confirm if yours is as well. A full float sticks way out similar to the front if your front is manual...

    I think it has something to do with the way Facebook is handling Chris' pictures. If it's an image grab from a video or from IG or Facebook as an image directly it may be handled by Expo differently, the YouTube vids are fine. I can see #8724, 23 & 22 (same post BTW), but not #8721 or the others...

    Quigley control arm alternatives?

    I have an '00 with the U channel arms originally. Cracks showed up and I couldn't find anything cheaper (or ready made) than the replacements Quigley offers. I had a nasty case of death wobble after many miles of washboard dirt roads blew out my stock steering stabilizer which may have aided in...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    Something like that someone doesn't "just build". What powertrain are they trying to make work, Porsche? I saw a twin Subaru motor that looked scary in a bad way. It deserves pics or a link either way....... I worked on a few 962, 956 and 935's but never a 917.

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    LOL, not everyone gets that reference.... Back before Porsche prices went crazy in the late 90's I had a few 911's while working at The Racer's Group and S-Car-Go Racing. My favorite was a '74 with a twin plug 2.8 motor, Weber carbs, wide RSR flares and 15"x11" & 9" reproduction Fuchs filling...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    Took a a week long family trip to the lakes basin area in Sierra County in the travel trailer. Upper Sardine Lake was the kids favorite for kayaking and cliff jumping; my favorite for the drive.

    +1 for the F5 DP tuner My 2000 7.3 has been fantastic for over 100k miles with pretty much the same tunes. I use it to tow our travel trailer up the backside of Yosemite through Tioga pass and while the EGT's do get up there, if you watch it and keep the revs high (+2300) it works very well. In...

    Chris, the new site is a great upgrade! Add a few others to your buddy's to-do list. The Locking Fuel Door image is of your front bumper. And from a UX/UI perspective, clicking on the "Products" parent category without selecting a sub category shouldn't bring you to a blank page, he needs to...

    Hey Chris is there a noticable difference in temperature when you put the vents in the hood of 7.3's as you do? Edited: Nevermind, search is your friend. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/hood-scoops-for-a-van.115749/

    PHL -> ATX in a ford e350 7.3 in 12 days (Maintenance list before I leave?)

    Are you having brake problems? Take your rear rotors off and check to see that the axle seals haven't failed, leaking oil onto your parking brake shoes. This leak caused a vibration I chased for a while under braking that I thought was coming from the front brakes/D60 axle.

    I've never driven any other tune on our vans other than the DP so I can't compare it to any of the Edge tunes. That may be a question for Chris, another thread or a Google search. I decided on the DP initially based on forum reviews. I get between 14-16 mpg on 32's with 4.11's, I rarely drive...

    @phenopd I have Jody's 60 econo and 80 econo tunes along with the stock tune in California. As long as I test it in the stock tune it passes. If you rev it in the other tunes it will fail from to much tailpipe smoke. I move the switch out of sight during the test and they can't tell anything's...

    Fuel Tank Options

    I have the Transfer Flow 46 gal Quigley tank in the stock position and their 27 gal aux tank behind the rear axle. QuadVan actually shipped the 46 gal main tank to my Ford dealer who installed it after finding my stock tank was delaminating. It was the last tank he had in stock so I'm not sure...
