Hello everyone! New guy over here...

I apologize to the administrator if this isn't the correct area to post my introduction. I'm trying to find my way through this site.

I've had 2 or 3 Ford trucks in the past. However, today I purchased my first Ford Van. It's a 2000 E-350. It's also my first diesel!!! . (7.3)

It's an ex-fleet vehicle for a large electricial supplier. Needless to say, I'm stoked. The vehicle itself is pretty good shape cosmetically, but the engine and drivetrain are even better for it being high mileage.

I am a younger guy (26) who plans to use it as my flagship vehicle in the landscape business I am starting. In all honesty it's probably too much van for the lighter duty work I'll be doing. But I'm already in love.

Anyways , just wanted to say hello!

Thanks,
Paul S.

The vans forums are fairly active but honestly not a lot of 7.3 discussion as there's just not a lot of that engine type in most of the member's vehicles.

Apart from the engine and its management systems everything else is pretty much the same so issues regarding body, lighting and comfort features tend to be easily handled or answered.

Just like every other sub-forum here we LOVE photos over there---show us what ya got!
