    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).

    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...

    I finally finished the the coffee table so I have more time to start building Looks like the first trip will be from Los Angeles to Denver towing my truck so I want to get it dialed in for a long road trip towing. I finished replacing the ball joints and swapped in new shocks. I tried to get...

    I'll be sure to research the hell out of it before I pull the trigger. If I could find a 30" high top in a pick and pull I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I haven't been scanning for super long but I haven't seen any high tops let alone one for my model and the height I want. Your roof rack looks...

    I'm in the process of building a coffee table (pics to come later). It's my first real wood project so it'll be good practice. Anyway, the base is made from 1" square tubing and that gave me an idea... The 1" tube sits pretty nicely on the roof flange. I think I could probably fabricate a high...
