    Calling all 7.3L E350 Owners!!

    I have an 02 7.3 Quigley that I love. Got it at around 280k miles, when we bought it the biggest issues were just wear and tear in some of the suspension/4x4 parts. Got it sorted and checked out by Ford after buying and has been fine since. Based on the documented history I have HPOP issues also...

    How does everyone finance a used adventure van

    Look into one of the newer online loan websites. Upstart, Prosper, probably some others. They tend to focus on credit scores and not so much what the money is used for. I went with Prosper to get a quick loan on an old van...not as expensive as yours, but they didn't ask for details other than...

    The $3,000 Sportsmobile project

    Sounds pretty similar to my experience to be honest. We did the steering stabilizer as well as a track bar bushing at first, but still had a good shake specifically when braking while going downhill. The new front rotors ultimately got rid of it. I felt similarly about those rotors, especially...

    The $3,000 Sportsmobile project

    Jealous of this score! You mentioned a death wobble and needing new rotors, but we had some death wobble that only occurred while breaking and new pads/rotors took care of it. Not sure if that is the wobble you're experiencing.

    Wow. Ever take a 6 month trip and forget all about forum posting? Anyways here's the rig in Colorado at ~13,000ft on top of California Pass (I think). Did about 20k miles over the past 6 months and the rig was amazing. Other than typical maintenance the biggest issue was when the starter went...

    SOLD - 300TDI Land Rover Defender 90

    BUMP! Interested? Shoot me some questions or an offer, I'm motivated to get this sold. I have had about 15 different people contact me and then disappear before seeing this rig in person.

    4x4 E350 7.3 Diesel - The Long Wool Adventure Van

    It was definitely a PIA. But with that said, I do feel confident in doing the injectors in half the time next time, so that's nice at least. It is starting way better, but ironically the weather in Portland went up a few degrees as soon as I did the work, so I don't think the van has seen a...
