If you do put an extra fuel cell in and total near 100 gallons, I'd recommend getting a water separator system. A friend has a 6.6 duramax with 120 gallons and was having a huge issue with water in fuel. A Fass system fixed it
My search for 7.3 repair/maintenance videos and camper videos brought me to your channel! I'm enjoying your musings and build journey. Owning a 7.3 is a labor of love! I have a CCLB with a slide in camper that has taken my family on some great adventures.
Then boxes are heavy. I have 1989 f350 super duty which is F450 Nowadays. And mine had a utility box on it with the cherry picker. I had to get a Crane to take it off. It weighed 5000 pounds. The fourth list we had couldn't pick it up.
For future reference if you are ever lifting something like that and using a ring on the fork. Put a C-Clamp you trust in front of the ring and it won't come off. Just discovered your channel cool stuff man!
I'm really enjoying the series and ended up buying a protect our public lands shit to enter the giveaway. One thing that I don't know if you've looked in to is an air ride system for the ambulance box instead of springs.
That 2000 73 ford f450 zf6 can’t no longer be registered in California. Diesel trucks with engine model years older than 2010 and weighing at least 14,000 pounds can't be registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles anymore. I live in California. Born and raised. If it wasn’t for the great year-round weather, I’d be out of this state. While most of the country was frying, I was enjoying 72 degree weather. That’s the main reason I’m still here. But I do hate many aspects of the state as well. I don’t want to get political though. But every state has good and bad aspects. Anyway, another great video.
Yup! When I spoke to the DMV I should still be able to register it once it is titled as an RV. However, this is not our long term home so hopefully it will never see a California plate
Glad you have a good place to work and make sure you film as much as you can, keep grinding and the subs will come. You have great content and are a natural in front of the camera. If you are ever out in North Western Ohio and need a place to stop and recharge or fix something, don't hesitate to hit me up.
LOL! I have been trying to escape this state for years. Somehow it keeps bringing me back. In this case it was a free place to work and stay for two years. I think I'll take that trade!
@@ExpeditionRanchTV I hear ya, good deal and I wouldn't pass that up. Not much better just up North of you, looking to go east a bit to ID. I'll go with ya, I can swing a camera. 😉
New subscriber here. Fan of the channel since first week of July 2024 and fan of the Superduty and 7.3l powerstroke since 1999. Looking forward to the next step and installment. REALLY enjoyed last weeks video and the cool journey home!
Honestly the content before the build series was mid. This is the content I have always wanted to make and the channel has grown by about 6k subs since we started! I think this build is the real start to this channel!
Instead of selling the extra truck you should keep it & build it for yourself that way you can keep enjoying the outdoors without having to give away your rig.
@@cpufreak101 yeah & then it’ll be the next giveaway like his first rig aka the current giveaway. I’m suggesting that he build one for himself so that way he can still enjoy the outdoors while doing a giveaway cause right now he’s not using the first rig he moved all his stuff out as he showed in a video.
My name is John Bowman. I'm from middlefield Ohio. I'm a handicapped person and I wouldn't mind signing up for that giveaway. I live in my van and please let me know how I can sign up for that giveaway for the camper
I'm a nurse who has seen the effects of rust in the eyeball in the ED. Wear safety glasses please when you're under the truck. Love your videos!
I was gonna say this. I love the videos, but please do start using safety protection
Hell yeah man! I can’t thank you enough for showing the build process!!
So stoked to take you along for it!
Before I get too excited about winning this truck, how tall is the inside? I’m over 6 foot.
@@RVingwithGprobably 69-70 inch. Most type I ambulances are not 6FT or more. And you gotta watch out for hand rails on the ceiling on some of them.

Love the videos!! Have you thought about putting a newer front end (grille mainly) on it? Definitely could spruce it up a little that way!
possibly. I really like this year model grill for the work trucks with the square headlights
Excellent progress...keep it up!
Dude, seriously, your automotive skills are impressive. I would never be able to do what you do.
He didn’t do a fuel filter change correctly I think you need to change your definition of skills lol
@@XXCLUTCHPCGAMINGXXeasy mistake anyone can make

AWESOME WORK...
Let the fun begin...
This build is going to be epic can't wait to see it finished you have amazing talent keep up the great work
Been waiting for this video to drop!!
Builds gonna be badass
Awesome I love it !
Considering how shady the seller situation was and looking at just how much dirt was on the frame I wonder if it was a flood vehicle....
HELL YEAH !!!
I have a full Kelderman air suspension on my Ram 5500 camper. It's incredible .
Sounds fancy!

You need to get a wicked wheel
When you were washing the top of the fuel tank, some of that crap flew into my mouth!!
Your off the chain man...... !!😂😂😂

@@ExpeditionRanchTV Cool! Thanks for replying… 😁👍
Growing up, I always wanted to live in California. I would definitely still like to visit some places in Cali but living there, no thank you.
The restriction is based on GVWR over 14,000 lbs. Even if your vehicle actually weighs less, they will go by GVWR.
I clicked your video by mistake. I watched it. Liked it. Subscribed to it. Now, it's on you. Keep me entertained. Lol
i’d buy that bench seat right away if ya were close to pa lol

What would be awesome if you put the ambulance box on a quad cab
I’m excited to see the build series on your new personal truck. That’s gonna be awesome 🎉
I wouldn't get rid of those air tanks. Especially if you're going to add onboard air on later.
I've got a straight piped 7.3 shuttle bus, no cats, and it sounds the same. Engine is noisier than the exhaust.

If you're going to lift the suspension, why not convert it over to air bag suspension.
How this guy only has 30k subs is insane!

hell yeah shipping to Canada is cheep .... epic guess i need to place some orders here PDQ
Why didn’t you want to use the 450 as a camper rig?
Was the oven on?
❤your Channel. 💪😎💪👍
How much trouble would it be to take that wood burning stove out and replace it with a diesel heater?0
it's a great video (pierre - belgium)
Don’t you say it
Where is the video of the ex platoon of the guy you bought it from an connection to a scam
I’m still going to watch this one but I’m feenin for that one video (part 3) to buying that truck

Offer a good fanny pack. Those deserve a come back.

He does the giveaways to help fund the projects, the F-550 is becoming his personal rig
