Re: WORLD'S BEST '99 B190 -- SOLD

Chris and Lynn, thanks for the kind words. You've been a pleasure to deal with. I was looking forward to introducing you to this wonderful website and it's helpful, sharing community, but you found it on your own -- good for you! 190-b-651, great picture. Don't think I've ever seen two 190s in the s...

WORLD'S BEST '99 B190 -- SOLD

Here's a post I absolutely hate to write. After nearly 60 years of camping all over North America and owning everything from a pop-top camper through Class B, C, A, and fifth-wheels up to 39', we finally decided that a van camper, and specifically an Airstream B190 would be ideal for just the two of...

Re: Miles left until total failure of 4E0D?

This may be a little late to be useful, and may be completely off the mark, but for what it's worth: Are you absolutely certain the problem is in the tranny? Recently had a bad shudder problem in my '99 with about 20K miles since a new engine was installed. Happened anytime I accelerated or was on t...

We also bought our '99 for what seemed like a good price, but we had to fly from Florida to California to pick it up and drive it back, and we also had to do a lot of repair and...

Re: High mileage B-190s out there?

We bought our '99 at 165,000. It had gotten a new engine in May, 2012, at 151,000. We're just about 100 miles shy of 170,000 today, and it's humming right along. We hope to baby it to a quarter of a million miles. :-)
