Well I purchased my 2001 E250 Quigily in Feb, 2009 with 67K Mi on the clock and loved it at it was
It started with the classic Shake in the steering when crossing over a bump so new tie rod ends and a steering damper and Alignment at almost 1000.00. Good to go for a month...
Well in June, 2 days before I was due to go on a 1200mi trip I decided to have the Tranny fluid and filter changed...Found out that second gear in the trans was sheadding friction material and that while everyhing else had been will maintained the tranny fluid had never been changed. Another 1600.00 for a rebuild and shift kit... Then I had a Flat and decieded to get 5 new tires (265/70R-16 E's). Also picked up some tow mirrors and added a hitch. Then I found a TV top for 500.00 that only needed a little work (the van it came off of had been rolled onto the drivers side roof)
Now the wife is wondering where all my money is going.
Still looking at Alumness Bumpers and a Custom Airbag system front and rear...
