I am selling my 1994 E-350 diesel van. The van runs and drives, and the inspection just ran out in February. It started life as an ambulance, and was retired from ambulance service in 2004. I purchased the van from the ambulance company in 2008 and have used it as a work/hauling vehicle (and even a daily driver at some points). This is powered by the 7.3L mechanically injected naturally aspirated diesel engine produced by International Navistar for Ford. It has the E4OD overdrive automatic transmission as well as the famous Dana 60 Trac-Loc rear end (works good). When I purchased it from the ambulance company in '08 I changed all of the fluids and filters and re-painted the whole lower half of the body below the stripe. The vehicle has 279,xxx miles on it, however, the mechanic from the ambulance company estimates that there are only about 60-70,000 on the rebuilt engine and transmission. I will say that I have owned several of these 7.3L IDI N/A engines, and this is by far the smoothest, strongest running I have owned. It really does run good. Also, it appears that at some point the ambulance company had the rear springs beefed up. A trailer hitch can be bolted right on the back - the plug for trailer lights is already there and works, and it is pre-wired for a brake controller. Front tires are 50-75%, rear tires about 25%. Since I have owned it I have:

-Changed fluids and filters on a regular basis
-Replace rear wheel cylinders, checked rear brakes, replaced rear brake line (2009)
-Replaced front brake pads (2009)
-Replaced both starter solenoids
-Alternator rebuilt
-Replaced serpentine belt and idler pulleys
-Bypassed RABS valve
-New windshield
-Several parking brake cables replaced
-Replaced differential pinion bearings and seal and carrier bearings, new gear oil (2012)
-Replaced vacuum pump (2012)
-All new front brakes including new rotors, pads, calipers, and a new master cylinder. Some brake lines replaced. (2012)
-New upper and lower ball joints on the driver's side (2012)

As with most older vehicles, the unit does need some work, and I will try not to leave you with any surprises. Here is what is needs:

-It needs a new torque converter. It still runs and drives ok but it sets a transmission code occasionally and should be replaced soon. I am including a used torque converter and whole other transmission that was sold to me by the ambulance company and is said to be in good working order. The shift points also could use to be adjusted (this is done by adjusting the TPS on the injection pump).
-It needs a new radius arm bushing on the driver's side
-It needs a new pedal unit for the e-brake to work properly
-I believe it needs a new belt tensioner. May need a few other odds and ends like any other old vehicle out there.
-There is some minor rust on the rocker panels, but no rust-through. If you catch it now and sand off the rust, treat it, touch up the paint you should get many more years of service without any major repair. The frame and floors are really clean with almost no rust whatsoever!

As you can tell by reading this, if you are handy with a wrench these are mostly inexpensive repairs and you can have a solid one ton diesel van for not too much cash. Great for hauling tools, materials, towing, and more. Not too bad on fuel, either.

Obviously this vehicle is sold as-is, and you can come inspect it ahead of time if you wish. I will require $250 down payment via PayPal within 24 hours of the end of the auction, and the rest of the payment in cash in person within 10 days. Thanks for looking!
