Lots of custom engine work done to eliminate the failings of the engine + STC chip to return to factory setting if emission test needed.
Welcoming any and all questions and will reply with pictures - litany of improvements - and anything else you might request.
Please respect the intent of this posting!
Hope to hear from interested parties

We'll allrighty then, I can't help myself so I will ask some questions. Think of these as coming from a knowledgeable buyer.
A completely rebuilt motor implies just that. Heads, new piston rings, bearings, etc. It sounds to me like you have had it bulletproofed but that can mean many things. Some of the work you have done could be put under the "cost of doing business" category or basic maintenance you might expect on a diesel engine with 80,000 miles. Specifically, if I was interested in this van I would ask:
-did you do headstuds as part of your rebuild?
-have you rebuilt or replaced the turbo?
-which EGR delete kit did you use?
-Did you replace the OEM oil cooler or replace with a bulletproof external oil cooler?
-Is there a coolant filter?
-Has the FICM been upgraded?
-Any exhaust system modifications? CAT delete, etc.
-stock water pump?
-any alternator upgrades? The stock alternator is woefully inadequate.
More importantly, if you deleted the EGR system any buyer who lives in a state with emissions testing is SOL. Maybe, just maybe, with some serious custom tuning a programmer could tweak the PCM file that it might pass an emissions test but I doubt it. The tech will also look for the egr cooler and other pieces to indicate that the system has not been tampered with. Either way, returning the PCM back to the stock program will not pass emissions. I presume that is what you mean by an "STC chip"? So, you are also selling the rig with the SCT Tuner?
I hope that helps and take it in the spirit of getting a handle on how much our rigs are worth. I'm curious how much mine is worth if I ever had to sell it. That's not even getting into your interior build-out but for 85k at the very least I would expect front and rear aluminess bumpers and a winch. Solar panels, OBA or on-board air, heater, etc.
