Re: B190 database

It had 36K on it then, it now has just under 70K and will have more by the time I complete this trip in...

Re: Whacky guages

Yes, I checked the thread you sent and it is called an ICVR which stands for instrument cluster voltage regulator. When it starts to fail the 3 instruments in question get whacky. It included a part number and said they were used on Econoline's through 91. When it stops correcting itself I'll use th...

Whacky guages

I tend to glance at my guages regularly while driving and yesterday while crossing a high bridge in heavy traffic I had a rising panic as I noticed my temp guage was peaked. Then I saw the oil pressure was maxed out and the gas guage, which I knew was @ 3/4 a minute before was laying way beyond full...

Re: Oscillating Sway

I had a very similar experience when I first drove mine. Some of it is learning to drive it and some of the sway or wander seems to be the nature of the beast. After making sure there wasn't anything mechanically wrong I did what a number of people on this site did and started upgrading and adding t...

Re: Low voltage disconnect?

What I have been told is that deep cycle batteries are not designed to give the burst of voltage needed to turn over an engine, but rather give a smaller amount over a longer period of time. It is possible to replace a deep cycle with a car battery for use in the van for lights, pump etc, but I don'...

Re: New Owner New England

From another New England owner, welcome. Had the same experience about play in the steering when I picked up mine but after many addons, all of which you will find links to on this site, it drives almost like a truck. White knuckles no more. Good luck!
