Don't know why your channel doesn't have more subscribers... You're the present day DTR to me! Appreciate your knowledge and humor in teaching us how to repair and keep these trucks running!
ALL VANS ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO WORK ON.....AND A DIESEL VAN IS 10 TIMES HARDER.....YOU ALWAYS MAKE DIFFICULT SITUATIONS "SEEM" EASY.....BUT I KNOW IT IS A LOT OF WORK TO SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS.....ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE GOING BEHIND SOMEBODY ELSE.....KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.....AND PLEASE KEEP THESE VIDEOS COMING.....
Yea those are fun. I worked on a fleet of E450 ambulances back in the day at the dealership. I always had work cause nobody else had a clue how to work on them!
Man, that was like Frankentruck. You conquered it, excellent job that baby sounded good. Doing good comes full circle as you probably already experienced. I loved your statement, "choking on my dip" a classic statement all dippers have said a time or 2.
And I thought a 2013 LGH Duramax Van was tight….I had to replace the return line (one assembly) because his father in law broke the line helping me. It wasn’t horrible, but it was tight and you had to know what to do or have a knack for figuring it out.
What brands of ELC do you recommend? Thank you for an interesting video on 6.0’s in a van configuration. The accessibility is so much worse…except for the rear of the engine.
@@LonieCebulski school of hard knocks, owning them, driving ambulances with 7.3s and 6.0s and 6.4s for 16 years. Grew up working on everything, we never paid to have anything worked on. My dad had a construction company and we fixed the tractors, backhoes, trucks compressors anything ourselves. Wanted to go to Ford tech school got talked out of it, became a paramedic and did that for 16 years, getting burnt out as a medic with motivate you to do a lot of things and it spurred me to grow my side mechanic job into a full blown business and I love it.
You’ve inspired me to follow a similar path! Thank you, wanted to ask what diagnostic system do you prefer? I’m looking to invest in a good one like a snap on
@@TradesmanOutdoorAdventures cascade dishwasher detergent. If I have a ruptured oil cooler I will use the entire bottle for diesel in coolant I would mix half the bottle on hot water pour in and drive it. The heat and detergent will do the work.
Yeah that didn't look like any fun at all lol. I've heard of some shops flat out refusing to work on 6.0 vans or charging double shop time and I can't say I blame them 🤪
@@Powerstroke431 while working on this one we had a fella call from Michigan wanting a quote for studs and all on another E350, I’m working a quote up but jokingly told him he picked the worst time to ask for a quote on a van.

@@davidgillis2553 that’s quite a compliment, thank you.
I agree 100%. This crew of misfits!! All respect in that phrase!! Are bad A$$!!!
I can honestly say after talking with you and you doing work on my truck, it’s not many like you if any like you anymore. Best real world videos.
When you're good, you're good.
That's all I'm going to say about that! 👍💯

Keep the 6.0 repairs coming very very helpful

Well that looked like a bundle of fun to work on.
I almost bought one of these brand new, thanks for the video 👍😁

Help the folks that’s need help you can’t lose
I hope you do more van video 🙏 I have one 😢

@@pakkelly cat, rotella or peak final charge. Thanks for watching.
Got the body off mine now. Much easier to work on with the body off.
Great channel. Just curious where you got the knowledge you have on these Powerstrokes. As a 7.3 owner I'm always looking to learn, thanks

@ snap on and Matco both are good just pricey and updates are expensive. Autoenginuity has been good to me for the big 3
@@AutomedicGarage thank you
is it easier to just pull motor out the front ??
What’s your “cascade” protocol for flushing a coolant system? I have bad 7.3 cups that are being replaced and I have to flush my truck’s system.

@ thanks, I’ll give it a try…I’ve heard a lot about Simple Green, but this is the first time for Cascade!
