    The motor work ended up getting moved way up in my timeline. The monitor I got was super nice to have during the process as it was really interesting to watch the gauges as the motor started to fail. I started to overheat on the last hour out to go camping and I was getting a EGR valve code...

    2009 E250 Family Adventure Van Build - Stella

    you can go to an autozone or equivalent to get your battery tested for free. that's probably the easiest thing to check first. When I first bought my van it liked to jump all over the place. The balljoints were in really bad shape so it was night and day different after I replaced those. It...

    Other random tasks I fabricated a bracket for the backup camera since it was meant to mount the other way around and you can't flip it in the software. I sealed the hole with a grommet and sikaflex. I need to tend to the rust where the roof meets the rain gutter. I decided to get new...

    I got the EGT in. Getting the harness through the firewall was definitely the hardest part. Drilled the rear of the D-Side exhaust manifold. Started with a 1/8" pilot then a 21/64". I used a magnet to try and get shavings out but it didn't really pick up any. Tapped with a 1/8" NPT. I only...

    Thanks for all the info an link unreng! It's mostly flat here in Cali but if we move to Colorado I'm sure it will be through some mountains. I actually found a really nice cooler I used to have on my truck that will be perfect for the van. For the EGT harness, did you drill a new hole or go...

    I got the mirror in (https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Manual-Towing-Mirror-Set-For-03-14-Ford-Econoline-7C2Z17683DA-7C2Z17682DA/183170386604?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649). This is the video I used for reference but it didn't quite go as smooth (). The 3rd support down...

    I decided on doing the Edge CTS3 with the EGT add on. Seemed to be a lot easier than adding the individual gauges. Tuner is TBD but probably pretty far down the road. From what I read, I want to add the pyro sensor at the rear of the D-side exhaust manifold. Does anyone have any advice on the...

    The steering wheel and clocking ring came in. The wheel looks brand new! More of the stupid wiring mess. The OCD in me wants to cut it out but that'll probably cause more problems than it's worth.

    For ********** and giggles I decided to see what the passenger side mirror looked like and was dumbfounded. The new mirrors are right for that door. The drivers side door must have been replaced at some point with a different year or something. The mirror that was on there is a hack job. I'm pretty...

    Well that's not gonna work... They said it was compatible with my model of van so hopefully they can exchange it for one that works. The quality is really nice. I started prepping for the stero. I was trying to pull the cigarette lighters blind without pulling the whole dash but had no luck. I...
