Re: Ride Quality - Salem Kroger

Re: Ride Quality - Salem Kroger

Scatter - that's perfect. Got it. Yeah I think my next call is to 1) Fresno SMB, then 2) Quadvan. Hopefully one of those two can fix this sucker up. Gotta get it done soon. My back is killing me. :|

Re: Ride Quality - Salem Kroger

Re: Ride Quality - Salem Kroger

Update incase anyone's curious. I talked to Geno at SK. He said it was likely that the van had a "suspension upgrade" for carrying heavy loads.

Re: Ride Quality - Salem Kroger

Thanks all for the info. I just spoke with Mark at Salem Kroger and he said the first the thing to do is check the shocks. They may simply be worn out after 135k miles. Hopefully it's that simple! ...

Re: Ride Quality - Salem Kroger

Great info thanks! It's gotta be one and the same. I know it originally came from Oregon, bought by a dealer in Santa Barbara, then bought by me.

I'll definitely give Chris a call. I certainly...

Re: Ride Quality - Salem Kroger

Hey thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm not sure how the van was used before, but there is nothing in the back except a single jumpseat. It's not even lined or insulated.

My plans for it are pretty...

Ride Quality - Salem Kroger

Hello all. Newbie alert. I just bought a used 1996 Ford E250 with a Salem Kroger 4x4 conversion. It's a cargo van that's been a government vehicle for the last 14 years. I'm planning on doing some...
