I've had this bus for 2 years now, happy to answer any questions. I think it's fixed on production models after 2003? Ford issued a TSB about that one, so it's a known issue.

I had to replace all the shocks when I got the vehicle, and I had my passenger-side shock tower crack on me. I just had my rear diff rebuilt, but I don't know if that's a common issue. I expect I'll need new fuel injectors within the next 70k miles and that's gonna be a pain. You can definitely find a real van for within your price range, and parts are available all over the place. My "van" is a bit unique-it's a used shuttle bus that I picked up on craigslist for $3200. 2002 1987 - 1996 F150 & Larger F-Series Trucks - High Idle problem on 90.

These vans are what Sportsmobiles used to be built on. This feature ensures less heat transfer from the engine. Apparently she's just getting broken in, according to the enthusiasts. Mine is from 2000 and just rolled over 180k. Better MPG than the gasser E-350 and if you do some research, you'll find that people are fanatic about the 7.3 PSD "million-mile engine". Might be a bit heavy-duty, but I recommend a 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel E-350. The head gasket blows coolant out the intake and he's gone well over 30k since i told him he needed a motor. I have one customer with a delivery van that has a bad head gasket and a leaking intake. Some crack and suck air causeing the engine to run crappy. Worst I can think of is the intake manifolds have a tendency to leak. Rear leaf spring shackles do rust through and break sometimes. As long as you keep they greased though they last. Suspension wise, all Fords go through ball joints. I've seen them go on usually delivery vehicles. If you can find one that wasn't a work van and/or beaten on the trans should be ok. bypass smog pump ford f150 Hey guys I just got my ride smoged and I wanted to. Couldn't tell you why it's mostly only the 4.6 as opposed to the 4.2 or 5.4, it just it. If it has a 4.6 the exhaust manifolds tend to leak. They have computers but I don't encounter too many Fords with computer problems. I've been turning wrenches 12 years or so and only done 2. It's an easy enough repair that doesn't usually cost too much.

Using an AOD transmission will effectively lower a 3.73:1 rear axle ratio down to a fuel-saving 2.49:1.

Spark plugs have been known to occasionally blow out of the head. Ford later used this transmission as a basis for their newer overdrive transmissions, the electronic overdriven AOD-E, which was used beginning in 1993 and in the 4R70W which was used on 99 and up production cars and trucks. One of Bertrand's customers runs a 1,100hp small-block Camaro in the 9s and is backed with an AOD, which, in two hard seasons, has not yet failed.As an actual mechanic and not just going off internet searches, older Ford vans are pretty simple.

With some cunning piracy from the later AODE and the Ford parts catalog, plus a healthy dose of valvebody reengineering, Bertrand has created a transmission that's as beefy as a Turbo 400 and can support more than 1,200 hp-enough to handle all but the hairiest race applications. Other advantages over a TH400 include a thinner pump gear, which reduces drag for a given line pressure a beefier intermediate sprag and both sets of planetary gears living within a single carrier (rather than the two carriers and two sets of pinions peculiar to the TH400). Compared to a TH400, the AOD is 30 pounds lighter (thanks mostly to an aluminum valvebody and a far lighter center-support section), its rotating mass is 4 pounds lighter and 1 inch trimmer in diameter (6 3/4 inches versus 5 3/4 for the AOD), and comes with all of the benefits that this difference implies. His plan to overthrow the Turbo 400, current King of Performance Transmissions, is a crafty one-Bertrand feels that Ford's cogswapper has plenty going for it. Bertrand has plenty of raw material to work with: The AOD appeared in millions of LTDs, Mustangs, Fairmonts, and light-duty trucks from 1980 to 1993.
