INFORMATION NEEDED FORD E-series 7.3 PSD
So, I am looking to add a 4x4 E-350 to my truck line-up and I have located a low mile 2000 with the 7.3. I just want to hear from you guys anything that I should know about these, any weak spots and if what differences I should expect between this engine and my '97 PSD. I have heard that the turbos are different and they may overboost, I have also heard that they are not intercooled 
like the 99-03 F-series... I just want to know if this is true and what all else I can learn before spending the big money this van is selling for. Thanks in advance!

Read through this thread with regard to "dusting" and treat your air intake on the van seriously:

You will have to post specifics about your 4x4 conversion for responses specific to those issues.
I am on a deadline now, so may only be able to respond this weekend. The Sportsmobile forum guys are also quite helpful especially UJoint and BajaSportsmobile.
For AE which you probably want to buy if you have any other Ford trucks, look at any thread published here by Tugly.
