    Westmicher's New XLT 10 Project Begins!

    Ya, I read about your conversion. I wonder if Ford changed their offerings (or if there are special order codes not available on the comm. truck website) since NONE of them are available under a 10050# rating according to the website. Kind of irritating:mad: I guess I'll have to buy a used...

    Westmicher's New XLT 10 Project Begins!

    How did you get a 10,000# rating on the chassis? Ford's site has the minimum (even for the 138" SRW chassis) as 10050.

    hydrogen

    The problem is it takes more energy to split the water molecule to generate the hydrogen than burning the hydrogen generates. In other words, chemically, if one were to truly find an affordable way to have an on board system splitting water, it would result in a DECREASE in mileage. Commercial...

    Anyone tried the 19.5 tires on a van?

    Talking about the conversion from Rickson truck and others. The increased load ability is appealing, as well as the extra life. That is, if users are truly getting extra life. Any experiences?

    Aftermarket seats in van?

    Thanks all for the recommendation. I'll order one up and try it out. I'd still be interested in hearing any ideas or experiences for replacement seats, though as mine are pretty well worn out.

    Aftermarket seats in van?

    Hello all, first post. I first found this forum years ago while searching for info on Sprinters. I've visited many times since when looking for various information on trucks or vans, but am finally registering. I started a driving route in my Dodge van (old style--not a Sprinter) that has...
