This is a 1991 E-350 Ford Ambulance with the 7.3l International Diesel Engine with an automatic transmission. It has been converted to an adventure vehicle suitable for work, travel and fighting zombies. The siren and the flashers have been removed for liability reasons, but all the bright ambulance flood lights work, minus 1 which needs a new shield and bulb. This is great for work at night or setting up camp in the dark. There is also a custom safari rack which cost over $2000 on the top capable of holding over 800lbs and perfect for tying down bikes, boats, rafts, you name it. It can also be used as a viewing platform or a place to pitch a tent as it has a full mesh floor. Also included are 8 custom railing poles for the observation deck made from upcycled skis. 

It also has a vegetable oil fuel system installed (more than $1000 equipment and $1200 labor) with high quality parts from VegPower.com. It has 2 tanks. The rear is regular diesel. The front tank is converted for veggie oil and has a heated fuel pick-up ($200) installed. There is also a heat exchanger ($180) and a Raptor Fuel Pump ($350). There is also a temperture guage, tubing, etc. The system has not been run in some time and needs a new 6 way valve (or 2- 3 way valves) and a cleaning to get working. 

Inside the back, the cushions and wall padding have been upholstered with upcycled banners, they are cool, but are a little scratched up. There is a custom bunk that flips open to a double bed with the right mattress and a bin under one side. There are also clips in the ceiling perfect for clipping gear or hanging hammocks. You can sleep one on the bunk, 2 in hammocks and 1 on the floor if you want to pile in. Otherwise it is comfortable for 2 people. The floor has been covered in fake wood vinyl tiles, but needs some repairs. There are also cool stickers on the ceiling and paneling. There are lots of great storage cupboards, a closet, easy to operate ceiling lighting and easy wiring to set up an inverter to power multiple 110 V sockets. 

It also has a newer Uhaul rear 2" hitch and a new basic paint job.
 
The tires are newish and are in great shape with lots of tread life.

We have owned the truck for 6 years and over that time we have replaced;
-engine heads
-master fuel injector
-injectors
-rear transfer case
-brakes front and rear 3,000 miles ago
-tires 4,000 miles ago
-many other things over the years

It runs strong, but needs a little TLC. 
- The the brake booster is starting to release pressure and should be replaced. 
- The transmission is starting to get loose.
- In real cold temperature it hard starts and could use new glow plugs for easier starting. 
- The veggie fuel system needs a new 6 way or 2 3-way valves and a cleaning

Recharge Wrap-up: Atieva making EV with former Tesla talent, Holland lowers PHEV incentives

Wed, May 13 2015

A reduction of tax incentives on company cars in Holland is expected to put the brakes on plug-in hybrid sales. Cars are taxed at an average of 25 percent, with plug-in hybrids taxed at just seven or 14 percent, depending on emissions. Taxes on PHEV company cars will increase to 14 and 21 percent. With company car leases making up a third of vehicle sales in 2014, the uptake on PHEVs "will likely go back to regular volumes," according to Volvo's Christiaan Krouwel. It could be a boon for battery electric cars, as their tax rate will remain at four percent for company cars. Read more at Automotive News Europe. Ford is testing cylinder deactivation in its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine. On-road prototype testing has shown improvements in fuel economy of as much as six percent. Ford engineers developed a system using a new dual mass flywheel, pendulum absorber, and tuned clutch disc to allow cylinder deactivation under a wider range of speed and engine loads with less NVH. "The highest priority in the development of new combustion engines for automotive applications is the ongoing reduction of fuel consumption," says Ford's Andreas Schamel, presenting Ford's findings to the Vienna Motor Symposium. Read more at Green Car Congress or in the press release from Ford. Atieva is building an EV with the help of numerous former Tesla employees. The Silicon Valley-based startup was founded in 2007 by a former Tesla vice president, and its roster includes 12 other former Tesla employees. Already well funded, Atieva is now looking to fill its ranks with more talent, with 32 engineering positions, two recruiter positions and other job openings posted at its website. As for the EV it is working on, Atieva says it is "redefining what a car can be, by building an iconic new vehicle from the ground up." Read more at Charged EVs. Testing shows that Joule ethanol, made from recycled CO2, meets standards for use in the US and Europe. In partnership with Audi, Joule has been working toward making its recycled CO2 fuels ready for commercialization. "We are pleased to achieve another critical step towards our planned near-term delivery of fuel-grade ethanol from recycled CO2," says Joule President and CEO Serge Tchuruk. "Using waste CO2 as a feedstock, our technology has the two-fold advantage of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and producing cost-competitive, drop-in fuels." Joule will use these test results to get government approval for the use of its ethanol in highway fuel.

For thousands of US auto workers, the downturn is already here

Thu, Jun 22 2017

LORDSTOWN, Ohio - Wall Street is fretting that the auto industry is heading for a downturn, but for thousands of workers at General Motors factories in the United States, the hard times are already here. Matt Streb, 36, was one of 1,200 workers laid off on Jan. 20 - inauguration day for President Donald Trump - when GM canceled the third shift at its Lordstown small-car factory here. Sales of the Chevrolet Cruze sedan, the only vehicle the plant makes, have nosedived as consumers switch to SUVs and pickup trucks. Streb is looking for another job, but employers are wary because they assume he will quit whenever GM calls him back. "I get it," said Streb, who has a degree in communications, "but it's frustrating." Layoffs at Lordstown and other auto plants point to a broader challenge for the economy in Midwestern manufacturing states and for the Trump administration. "This is about economics, not what Trump says. Even if Trump went out and bought 10,000 Cruzes a month, he wouldn't get the third shift back here." The auto industry's boom from 2010 through last year was a major driver for manufacturing job creation. The fading of that boom threatens prospects for US industrial output and job creation that were central to Trump's victory in Ohio and other manufacturing states. "This is about economics, not what Trump says," said Robert Morales, president of United Auto Workers (UAW) union Local 1714, which represents workers at GM's stamping plant at Lordstown. "Even if Trump went out and bought 10,000 Cruzes a month, he wouldn't get the third shift back here." Last week the Federal Reserve said factory output fell 0.4 percent in May, the second decline in three months, due partly to a 2 percent drop in motor vehicles and parts production. Mark Muro, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, has compiled data from government sources that show the auto industry punching higher than its weight in job creation in recent years - accounting for between 60 percent and 80 percent of all US manufacturing jobs added in 2015 and 2016. In the first quarter of this year, the auto industry accounted for less than 2 percent of the 45,000 manufacturing jobs created. "There's no argument with the idea that auto has been pulling the manufacturing sled up the mountain for the last three or four years," Muro said.

Ford auctioning off F-35-themed 2015 Mustang for charity

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Ford's been a supporter of EAA AirVenture, a huge, annual air show held in Oshkosh, WI, for several years now, with one of its most notable contributions being a modified Ford Mustang, designed to look like one of America's great fighting aircraft. There was an SR-71 Mustang, based on the legendary spy plane, a Red Tails edition, which honored the ground-breaking Tuskegee Airmen of World War II, as well as Blue Angels and Thunderbird Mustangs, based on America's two great military aerial demonstration teams.
Each car is auctioned off, with all proceeds going to the EAA Young Eagles program, which introduces kids to the joy of flight. For the 2014 AirVenture, which runs from July 28 to August 3, the one-off pony car is based on the new-for-2015 Mustang, and America's latest fighting aircraft - the controversial F-35 Lightning II.
The unique Mustang sports titanium paint scheme, with both glossy and matte sections, as well as yellow-and-blue trim and decal elements inspired by CF-1, the first F-35 test plane. A carbon-fiber front splitter and rear diffuser add some visual eye candy, while the interior boasts a set of Recaro seats. Ford also opted to fit unique wheels and a brawnier rear spoiler, to tie everything together.
