    Why won't my 7.3 start without starter fluid at altitude?

    Do you have a block heater? I live at 6200' and without it being plugged in for a couple of hours my 7.3 van will not start. I have 3 bad glow plugs, I have just been waiting for winter to finally be over to change them all.

    Importing 7.3L E530 into the USA from Canada?

    Check the us customs page and read import from Canada section. US does not make it easy. If you do not do the paper work properly you will not be able to register it in the US. There is a 25% tax on the van when you bring it over also. Just fyi Good luck

    Adding height to lifted van

    The problem with just adding longer springs is it will throw off your front caster angle. This will make the van not steer as well as it currently does and you may end up with a death wobble. In order to fix this you will have to drop the back of the radius arm pivot point. Im sure salem kroger...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    You will need a 2" lift and a hammer to make them fit. I have done 3 of them now and thats about what it takes. Make sure you order 3 degree upper shims for your alignment.

    ARB Locker in FF Dana 60 (2wd)

    Not really enough info. Is the axle factory? If so there should be a sticker on the drivers side door or body. That sticker will have letters and numbers there will be axle number/letter, google it and you should find gear ratio if there is no axle tag.

    Achieving 2" lift with coils or spacers on 1998 7.3 ambulance

    I put maxx lift spacers on my 97 E350 12k miles ago and have had no problems. I have 265/75/16 duratracs and they do not rub. You will need to install 4 degree alignment bushings to keep tires from wearing out. The maxx lift was always temp for me till I could afford 4x4 conversion, but it was...

    I just found a 2009 f550 that had an engine fire. Not sure what the mileage is on it being most of the interior was burned. Does anyone know if the front axle would work for a conversion? It has 10 lug wheels, I am not sure if the hubs or disc could be changed to 8 lug. The locking hubs and...

    Which model/motor do you recommend for an E350 build?

    I have an EB E350 passenger van. I had all the windows tinted as dark as you can and added black out curtain it works great. I have lived in the van 4 days a week for the last 9 months in the bay area. The big plus is rear air, seat belts and general visibility.
