I'm gonna put a new fuel filter in this one, I took it for a run today and it just doesn't sound too healthy! I will run some other tests as well.

New fuel filter has been installed but it's still putsin' around like a little piece of garbage, so it will remain out of service. I'm sure everybody is devastated.  ::)

I hope this van stays out of service! We don't need unsafe 15 passenger vans transporting people.

We use E350 vans right? I believe that post 2008 (maybe), passenger and cargo vans like these are required by federal law to have stability control and rollover prevention systems.

Its kind of hard to use a F350 chassis when the van chassis are called E (stands for ecnoline)

No it does not. It stands for Econoline.

You're too easy to pick on Kirley.

Whoops. I meant to put E350, but put F for some reason (was probably thinking about that lineup)

10-4 Kodie...
The van is leased, and it should still be under warranty. Can you please call the Ford dealer tomorrow on this?

If it's leased, we won't have to sell it! Just end the lease! :)

We've signed contracts on it...and we will be using the vans more often (whether we drive or the teacher does), so no, we are not getting rid of it.

I don't plan on scheduling trips that require the vans. I feel much better sleeping at night with the children riding in a small bus (like S10601 or S19801) instead of having them ride in a 15 passenger van.

I just don't rant to risk their safety!

I don't want to hear you complain about the freaking vans again, we understand your position on them, and we don't really care! If Sam wants to get his money's worth off the vans let him! He never said you HAD to drive one, he just offered it!

The Ford dealer called today and corrected whatever the problem was. It's back in service.
