Re: Potential purchase questions
Thanks. It certainly isn't a high mileage one that's for sure. The van is a 2006 year. Anything to look for in that year? It sounds like it has been well cared for, but having not seen it, I will...

Re: Potential purchase questions
Thanks Dave. The main use of the van will simply be for general camping in mild terrain. Right now our vehicles just dont allow for much 'dirt' travel to where the trail heads are. We have made do...

Re: Potential purchase questions
Thanks you for the replies. The amount of work that Badger Trek owners have done to the van is pretty amazing especially given that their van was new and the cost factor. I hate to say it but right...

Re: Seatbelt installation question
Thanks for the great write up. You were 100% correct. I did manage to get a bolt that worked on both seat belt holes but they are tight. Seems odd that Ford would have such as strange threaded bolt...

Hard hard to put a Cummins in?
So back to the big point, how hard is it to put a Cummins into one of the vans? Would the 6bt (I think that is one of the newer Cummins engines) fit into the Econoline chassis? Anyone try this?
