Hello! You originally posted this in the B190 database thread, so I moved it here. There are a few categories of parts - at least, this is how I think of it: Chassis parts - engine, drivetrain, and so on. This is the bare van supplied by Ford. This is the usual auto parts store or places like Rockau...

Can we get the VIN, please?

It looks pretty good. Some dark spots under the windows in the bunk, but that is probably due to condensation rather than leaks (it runs the length of the windows). Good deal for someone!

Could be. I had a 7.3 in my '03 Sportsmobile, and it was one of the best engines I ever had. Yeah, they seem to run forever. I was thinking the other day that you also have to remember the reputation diesels had in the 90s - noisy, smoky, loud, etc. Perhaps that was a factor, too. Few people wanted...

No idea. Maybe to keep costs down?

Someone was swapping a diesel into theirs a while back, I assume they were successful. That might have been the IDI, not the PSD though.

That makes sense! What doesn't is how long the run is from the battery (especially when it's on the passenger side) and the converter. I imagine that's a significant voltage drop--I have a friend who is a marine electrician (also a Marine electrician, formerly) who hates to make long cable runs to ...

We got a bagged awning at Vintage Trailer Supply. They had one that someone had returned for color in just about the size we wanted. It goes up in about five minutes and is pretty good in the wind--I end up taking it down due to noise and jerking the van around!

Nice. How do you store it?

1. I've planned to do some videos but I haven't gotten around to it! 2. The stove vent is a headache. There are some options, but it depends on which yours has (I can't remember what '94s have off the top of my head). Using google with something like "site:b190.com stove vent" should show several re...

Took it on another drive yesterday, and I discovered it was low on transmission fluid - apparently I didn't add enough when I changed it a few weeks ago. I replaced the weatherstrips on the front doors today. Other parts on order: Maxx Air fan and installation material AC compressor bypass pulley - ...

The belt weatherstrip and scraper seals on the front doors of my B190 have been in terrible shape for years, and I'm pretty sure they were leaking, which means water getting inside the doors, which means rust. Additionally, leaning my arm on them with the window down was uncomfortable (truly a first...

Coming back to the board for some ideas, just saw your video, Falcon. Thanks, and very cool. I've been thinking about electrical system upgrades, but am trying to keep it simple. I wish they had put the house battery near the converter. I have a Renogy solar suitcase for ease of use, and it's been ...

Took it on an errand today! Also filled the front tank for the first time since I replaced the tank. I was concerned the fuel gauge wouldn't work correctly, but it did!

I plan to drive it more over the next few days, and then try to drive it weekly or something like that.

Hi Skater, Thanks for this. I’m not sure if my B needs full rewiring or if a new converter would fix it. Which converter did you use? My fan and lights work, but not the water pump, monitors, or outlets. I imagine the water heater also doesn’t work, but I removed propane and need to replace with an...
