Ford E-350 7.3l oil pan

So yesterday I found a bit of oil under the van and traced it to seepage from the oil pan gasket. Today I went about getting it fixed. My regular mechanic couldn't do it, didn't have the right...

I've got an 02 E350 7.3psd Quigley 4x4 van with a "45" gal transfer flow tank. The 45 is in quotes because if I run it until the low fuel light blinks I can only put in 35 gal. It runs about 100...

Beautiful rig.

Congratulations on a nice outfit. I suppose things are a bit flatter in the mid west, but if it were mine I'd have gone with some lift and bigger wheels / tires.

Re: ScanGaugeII trouble

Do you have another vehicle you could try it in? Then you'll know if you have to send it back or have an issue with the ODBII port. I'm suspecting power to the port.

Re: Solar Confusion

Do you have a voltmeter on the house system?

If Yes - what does it read?

If No - get one! and report back.

Re: Stretch 7.3 with low miles and 4x4

What would be the point of 4x4 on that thing? It's so low slung I doubt it could drive into a gas station without getting hung up on the curb cut.
