The Econoline was around long before the SD. The current E series was introduced in 1992. It still shares a lot of the same technology of the 90s F150-350.

I deal with the "stealership" label every day. Most (not all) dealerships have the "hit the home run on every sale" attitude. The problem with that is it makes the rest of us that attempt to make a sale with a fair profit look like criminals. I can't tell you how many times I have seen where my parts prices were quite a bit lower than the aftermarket. I have visited a few chain independent shops that double cost on parts and then tell the customer that dealers will rip them off. They will do a job at a lower hourly rate and then pencil whip the customer on time. An they cal us "stealer."

We are doing our first replacement for cracked valves today.

I have a SCT tuner that I use to download a 80hp tow program written by Jody Tipton of DP-Tuner. I have been running it for three years now and I am very happy with the results. I have a 7.3 powered truck. If I owned a 6.0 or 6.4 I would not run a non-stock tune. The 7.3 is tough enough to handle it.

That is the old video. I have the link for the new one in my signature line.

Here is a link to the Transit van site: http://www.ford.co.uk/Commercialvehicles/Transit/Overview

Here is a link to our diesel maintenance page. It has the details of the update on it. http://www.trademotion.com/pages/index.cfm?action=viewPage&siteid=213892&pageid=10651

C+10% here also. I have only worked at one dealer that charged more than that.

Thanks guys, I guess I am not in need of it then. I have access to the PTS site. I appreciate it. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif

Thats sick.

http://www.inford.com I don't have access. I noticed the link here on the right sidebar. What am I missing? Would access be useful to me? Thanks.

I heard the USA6x6 is now out of business due to trouble with their aftermarket wheels.

Good luck!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif
