4 Grand Van

[furbucket]

I spend most of my time on Expo, but I bought a van! And so here I am... It's a 2003 e350 Super Duty, 7.3 PowerStroke with 250,000 miles. In great shape, everything works except a possible AC leak and bad blend door. And possibly something with the EGR or a vacuum line cause the service engine light comes on during long uphill grades but turns back off on the way down.

Currently a lowly cargo van - it's going to stay that way for some time while we use it as a work van as we renovate a new (100-year-old) home. Eventually, a 4x4 conversion, pop top, and a mild interior build should happen- but for the meantime it will haul plywood while I gather ideas from all the awesome posts I find here!

Congrats and welcome. Looks like a great base from which to build and will of course work great supporting your home renovation.

Welcome. There are plenty of threads here about blend door repairs. A scan gauge will tell you what codes are setting the check engine light. Cheers.......

Thanks for the replies - can’t wait to get started!

"bad blend door" Is the dash air stuck on defrost regardless of dial setting?

[furbucket]

Heater only works on “vent”- when on other settings the cab still gets warm, but there is no discernible air movement from the floor, the defrost or anywhere...
A/C modes have air movement but not really COLD like it should be, my guess is a possible leak and/or needs a recharge...
