New van owner

[pugslyyy]

Hey everyone, after lurking for a while here I finally signed up - though I can usually be found on expedition portal.

A few months ago I purchased a stock 2010 E-350 with the 6.0 and will be starting the 4x4 conversion in January using a Ujoint kit.

I spent about a year searching for this van - I wanted a 2009-2010 E-350 with the 6.0, full Ford options, and low mileage. After months of searching I had found 2 - one that sold before I could take a look at it, and the one that I purchased.

It had been used as a contractor vehicle so had a ladder rack on top and bins in the back

Welcome to the other side Pugslyyy. Always nice to see more Southern van fans.

Nice find!

Welcome to the forum. Have enjoyed your commentary on Expo.

Thanks for the welcome. I haven't done much work on Fords at all, so on a pretty steep learning curve right now. Seems like for every half hour of work on the van I'm doing 2 hours of research in the manuals, circuit diagrams, online, etc.

We want to run out to Moab for Christmas (dragging my Range Rover on the trailer) so that will be a good shakedown before we start in on the serious conversion work.

Congrats on the van and welcome over here!
