Thank you everyone for all the suggestions. My mechanic friend here in the city can't help before I have to go back to medical appts.  I am going to take the chance and baby the van back up the mountain which is about a three hour drive. When I get there another mechanic friend promised to...

Edj Yes the fuel filter was changed and at first I thought it resolved the issue. BUT, shortly afterwards I took it up a mountainside through puddles and slude. I want to say it was a day or two later and after it had rained. B ecause the issue the van is having seems sporadic I discounted the...

^Okay, will do.  I was wandering if the van would be okay to drive 165 miles back to the area I stay? I have a mechanic friend there also. I need to get back to my doctors there pretty shortly. I could take a bus if not.

Hdr, I turned the ignition to on and it only said service your engine soon. No code numbers. I ran it to the store 5 minutes away (ran perfect), and when I got home turned the engine off and did as you said again, turning the ignition to just on and got the same results.  Bardo, I let my...

Hdr, the van is new to me. Only had it a few months. I don't know if ce light works. Have't seen anything appear but will be more watchful here out for random misfire codes now that you have made me aware of the possibility. Thank you.

Hdr no check engine light. How can a code be checked without one?

SternWake, Hopefully it is an easy fix and if the plugs will try to buy the better ones if possible. I don't have wires if I understood the mechanic. Idk, listening to him put me on information overload mode about half way through. Lol.

Caution, super high mileage over 368k. But engine replaced at 125k and tranny some time after that. No records except engine replacement came with van. It was part of fleet said to of been well maintained. Thank you. Will pass your suggestion to check fuel pressure on to my friend...

My 2000 5.4 Titon, hesitates and misses. It was doing this at first only while moving when asked to give bursts of speed.  Ran fuel cleaners 3x and changed fuel filter once but didn't make a difference.  At first it was mostly only happening while accelerating uphills around 40 mph. Then...

I was planning on going back to the mountain town I have been staying but roads were shut down due to a major fire. The whole town had been evacuated last week. Wow! Anyway the subfloor is in. Used #8 15/8" stainless steel screws and put putty over the heads. Had to screw down due to slight...

Sternwake, the charger brought the battery to full charch in about an hour and forty minutes then floated. I did like you suggesred and unplugged the charger, plugged back in and set to agm. It then read battery was at 97 percent. Will leave it as is overnight. Thank you SW for this heads up and...

Okay. Got the battery. Went to Costco but nothing thst would workrd. My son and I pushed through the weekend crowd and 102 degree weather over toWalmart. They had two 27s but no 31. Bought the Marine/RV  27. It reads: 109 Marine amp hours @1 A. What does that mean? Is different then 109 amp hrs...

Wow! A wealth of information given here! Thank you so much!!  I have to get the battery today so no time to research what is best out there. Sternwake , I told my son about your information on to much pressure applied when hooking up tbe batttey and he is willing to do it himslf accordingly. ...

My son is ready to connect my Maxx fan to my starter battery but he thinks it's not in good enough shape. Reason being that even though the battery cables were just cleaned (3 weeks ago) the negative cable is significantly corroded again. Could be my very short driving habitd or the fact it was...

Thank You! ^^^

My Son isn't here to ask, so wanted to ask here about the wiring on the Maxx fan which has a size 16 wire already attached. It is suggested I use a 12. Do I replace the 16 with the 12 or just add to it? I would think replace it but wanted to confirm.

Putts and Ab, I am so tickled the roll bars are gone. Besides opening it up could you imagine having to work around them while installing insulation on the ceiling? Brian, I remember that "short" song. Lol! When I was younger I use to always say, "short on inches but not on atittude." Not so...

Gary I will check out imgur for pics. Thanks. Brian, with the 3/4" subfloor it measires 5.8" high down the center. It slopes towards the sided ending at about 5.3". It looks more spacious cuz the pic is an upshot. Never the less, plenty of room for myself and my dog! Now, just as I thought my...

Pics of progress.

Brian, my son used a saws all to remove the rollbar!! Just lil nubs left!  Today I am gluing wood pieces to my walls to create air space for Reflectix. Because mine is window van and it dosen't have ribs and the worst yet the wall is full of valleys. So I'm using  1/8" to 3/4" depending on the...
