e 350 on the road again!
Hello Again,
I Got My E350 Van Running After A Long List Of What's Not Wrong
With It. I Turned Out To Be The Computer. I Was Looking For A
Article Someone Wrote That The Computer Was The Last Thing To
Fail On A Vehicle, So I Kept Telling Myself Nope Not The Computer,
So What I Would Like To Pass On From My Experience Is That If You
Are Not Getting Codes Or Even 12 Volts From There Start With The
Computer. After Going To A U-pull It Place All The 92vans Had The
Computer Missing! So That Tells Me It's Not That Uncommon.....
Thanks For All The Suggestions, Thats How I Learn.

After a lifetime of owning Ford vans, not once have I had a computer problem. That of course doesn't mean that they "never" fail. Its just very rare.
My 92 E-350 IDI Diesel has been the very best vehicle I've ever owned. With the exception of the E4OD transmission witch has to be rebuilt every 100,000 miles its still original except for the normal repacement parts (batteries, belts, hoses, alt., waterpump) with 300,000 plus HARD working miles.

Computer
No, they're much different. The computer on the 92-94 IDI diesel van does little more than control the tranny and monitor the quages. Unortunate, on my O6 Diesel Van, its a totally different story. Its almost as intrusive as that on a gas burner. And because there are so few diesels in vans a tuner is almost impossible to find.
Should anyone know of one, specificall for the Diesel 06 van because the trucks are different, please let me know.
