Real electrician drive a van as E250 or up.



E250 is more space for parts than truck's bed.

My stepdad is an industrial electrician and a pump technician. His work truck, provided by the company, is a Dodge Ram. The mobile workshop hitched on the truckbed has a lot more room than any work van I've seen. The trailer is more secured against break'n'entry too than a van; however it's not burglar-proof seeing someone broke into it with the "jaw of life" once.

Mobile workshop? Must be pain in ass to parking around tight park space at big city.
 
Yeah, there are pros and cons between PU truck and van. What I don't like about van, two things.... they depreciate faster than any other vehicle, second it is high profile which means had to deal with high winds, no fun.

Cool, I have one question for you. If you suspect bad spark plug(s) in a 2004 Ford F150 w/5.4L V8, notice a lot of dirty and sands on the intake manifold where the COPs located. Will you clean around the intake manifold and COPs with wet towel? Figure it out.

Umm, I don't live from southwest. Last time, I saw a sand on engine when we were visited at AZ.

That's mean I never see any sands on the engine from here all in my life.
 
I forgot add other reason why I choose truck over van is that not many van has 4x4 while it is easier to find 4x4 on pu truck. I live in snow belt state where there is lots of snow. Easier handle with 4x4 truck than 4x2 van.

Yeah. He travels to Yukon and Northwest Territories way out in the boonies where there's no developed highways or paved roads because there's no one with his skills as a pump technician up there. When he's home intown, he works as an industrial electrician.

I remember I smogged the vehicles from out of states, saw little dirty and little sands over the engines. No wonder you prefer to clean the oil filter cap with a wet towel. No sweat. I've see lot of dirty and sands over the engines and have to blow them off prior to the repairs. Thumb up dst.
BTW, I see lot of corrosion and rusty on the engines and everywhere around the vehicles.Salt snow. Dang.
 
I see the Ford 7.3L V8 Turbo diesel engines are used in the older E- series, F250-F550 and Excursion, down size to 6.0L and 6.4L on modern Ford trucks.
 
That is right, orignally 7.3 without turbo, and I think they add turbo in 1999, I can be wrong. Then they shrink to 6.0 then expanded to 6.4L. 2007 and later engine are required to use only ultra low sulfur Diesel. If using kerosene or heating oil whatever in 2007 or later will damage the engine. 2006 or earlier can take higher sulfur without damage.

There are almost no difference between diesel and Kerosene/heating oil. The difference is just highway tax are added to Diesel while no tax added heating oil/kerosene. Also, heating oil/kerosene got higher sulfur that is what will damage to 2007 or later diesel engine.

The model year for 7.3L Turbo Diesel is 1995 to 2003, Non Turbo / Turbo on 1993-1994.
No Turbo used on 1987 to 1992 model year.
I smogged a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Turbo Diesel with a 5.9L Cummins In-line 6 , 24 valves last couple of weeks ago. I smelled it (at the tailpipe) as real clean like normal emission as
gas powdered vehicle. Must be from sulfur converter. I don't know anything about newer diesel powdered vehicles. Someday I take a diesel class.
 
Cool :) I am not 100% expert with these stuff, I learn alot from my friend who had diesel and grew up around diesels. He had near identical truck that I have, his is extended cab while I got crew cab. And yes, newer diesel don't emit black smoke much, however when reprogram to increase torque and some horses it will cause exhaust to emit black smoke. Whenever I leave my truck running idle, I get smell of heating oil around my truck, typical for Diesels. And yeah it gets stronger when I hang around with my diesel buddy when both of us left two powerstrokes running.

What I know is that there are some changes between older diesel and newer diesel. I had older diesel (4 cylinder 51 HP), it had high MPG (60mpg) easy, but the problem is not much power when flooring the fuel pedal. I can live with it. However with Turbo added, it will dart out fast when flooring the pedal. OFC MPG decreased.

Not hurt to learn about diesel :)
