I have purchased my first diesel ever. I have no idea about anything diesel. haha. However I came across a 2003 Ford Econoline E350 Super Duty 7.3L TurboDiesel 2wd with 166k miles on it for $1900. It is a passenger version with a high top. No passenger seat, only driver. 3 rows of flip up...

Hey guys, First time poster here, Ive used the search function and haven't found anything that's specific to my problem. I put in a new saftey switch after determining the old one was faulty, and ever since I put the new one in, the OD light flashes after 15-30 seconds in park. I've tried to...

Hello, I'm going to attempt changing the glow plugs on my E350 shuttle bus next month. This is the first time I will have worked on this engine(or any diesel for that matter) so I have been looking for walk-throughs and couldn't find a whole lot, what I did find was this write up from Kerry on...

Greetings, I just bought a 2010 E350 w/ a 6.0L Powerstroke (17k miles). First big truck diesel (not counting marine diesels), so much to learn and plan for fixing the known 6.0 issues, but hopefully I have a few miles before I need to do them. It's got a dual filtration Amsoil engine lube...

Hey guys - I'm thinking about buying this van. There is a problem though and that is the 4wd shifter to the right of the driver seat. It will be in my way when I transfer to the seat because I an a quadriplic and the seat needs to spin so I can get in it. My question: Can the shifter be...

Hi everyone, I am looking at a 2006 Ford E-350 SD XL 5.4L V8. It's got about 120k miles and it seems to be in good condition. I'm going to get it checked out by a mechanic before I buy it but I was wondering if anyone has any personal experience with this particular van. What types of things...

I am looking at buying a used E350 in Canada. However I live in California where we have to pass smog. After calling the Ford manufacturere and giving them the VIN# I was informed that the vehicle is EPA certified for emissions in 49 states. Has anyone smogged this type and year of ford with...

Hi all, This is my first post on Powerstroke as I am thinking about purchasing my first diesel vehicle for me and my fiance. I locally found a 2000 E350 7.3 Cargo van for sale. It has a 2" lift with newer BFG At's on it and has had water pump, brake calipers, glow plugs and a few other things...

Hey guys, So I just got a 95 E350 with the 7.3 turbo. I just took it on its maiden voyage after it had been sitting for a couple of years. I changed the oil checked topped off all of the fluids. It had a vegetable oil system on it that I removed. I put all of the fuel lines as much back to...

Ok, so I have a 2005 E350 Ambulance. Its been difficult navigating through these posts due to the very limited E-series topics. That also does not take into account my little knowledge of diesel engines, let alone a powerstroke... Ive done enough homework to know the troubled history of 6.0's...

Hello all, I posted a thread (poll) abut swapping van bodies from a gas to diesel a ways back. That project is still in works but in the meantime I picked up rust free early '99 (built 10/98) E350 for peanuts. Only issues aside from needing a good cleaning was the passenger fuel line rubbed on...

Hi all, I have a '98 E-350 PSD and I am unfortunately really not loving the front seats. My particular van has had some weird previous lives as a "camper" and had some odd interior changes done. Bottom line - I'm looking for some upgraded seats. The current ones have minimal lumbar support...

Hi all, Just starting to get my van back in shape now that I'm getting ready to be towing my cars around quite a bit. I bought this van back in 2005/6 or so from a guy who used to tow a camper with it. It's a 1998 E-350 with the 7.3, and the previous owner had done some mods to "support" his...

This picture is of the #8 cylinder in a motor out of a 2001 E350, I am planning on putting it in a 2002 F250. It was purchased from a wrecking yard, supposedly it ran good when pulled with 163k miles on it. It was on an old tire on a pallet when I got it. The oil pan was punched with a...

Would greatly appreciate it if someone could shed some light on how I determine the correct wheels for my e350 bus. Background: It's titled as a 95', though it was actually made in 94 (7.3 IDI). Originally used by a transportation company to shuttle seniors around, it was take out of service...

I have a 2003 E350 7.3L. After starting up, will run ok for about 20-30 minutes of driving, then will lose almost all power, shuddering. If I stop for 10-20 minutes, then restart, will run sorta ok for a little, then same problem again. Has been to mechanic 4 times, and they are clueless. It...

I thought I'd follow up on eagledieselmedic's excellent EGR valve write-up for those of us unfortunate souls who get to tinker on the van version of this engine. I definitely followed those directions, as well as some of the diagrams from Alldatadiy to do this job. For those expecting to...
