My name is David and with my dog Lefty we live full time in our ambulance conversion RV. I made this change to my life and you can too! Like, subscribe and comment β Lefty would appreciate it β he wants the adventures to keep coming!
The Campulance is a 2002 Ford E450 Marque Commando 164 Class III ambulance powered by the Ford 7.3l Powerstroke turbo diesel engine and a 4 speed 4R100 transmission. Lefty is a 65lb Staffordshire Terrier (best I can tell) that came from the Verona Street Animal Shelter in March 2014 at the age of 9 months. We have been living full time in the campulance since July 2019.

The rods of the shocks make good knives donate to a blacksmith I could use them but I live in Arkansas
Thanks!
I know you said don't have a sawzall but I use one every time to get those shocks out. You cut right through the rubber bushing on top. If You can't get at the top the shock the way you did, the other way is to take the passenger side wheels off. That way you can reach right in there with a wrench or the sawzall.
I hope those Monroe shocks last. And let us know about the ride quality. I put Monroe shocks in the front of mine and they only lasted not even 2,000 miles. Luckily they have a lifetime warranty.
Maybe the old shocks have a date on them?
I bet the last person who installed the original shocks gave it that dent when they were installing them.
Just wondering if you noticed a difference with the new shocks.
Great video but next time spray some penetrating fluid on all those rusty nuts and it will make your life easier
If I'm not mistaken you could have rented the coilover compression tool from am auto parts store I'm glad you got it π
Hey brother, just got odd msg via Instagram saying thanks for watching and requested contact not from a campulance man site/link. Just fyi, I think they're at it again.
It was YouTube sorry!
Did you contact me?
@campulanceman David the scammers are posting on the give away video
Hey David ,good luck with your new travel adventures, we love your videos down under, lots of love from Australia cheers Neil
Dont fall for the telegram @ camp……..scammers!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT TOP NUT. i had to use a sawsall and cut mine off. i fooled around for a day and a half trying to get it off with every kinda tool i had i even got a impact hammer did not do it. then i got the sawsall out and it was off in a minute. then the other 3 were fast
Drowned not Drowneddid.
Be careful-scammer at work-sending false claims that you are a winner.
I know you didn't silence the video because of stress potty mouth words? Ω©(Ν‘ΰΉΜ―Ν‘ΰΉ)ΫΆ "That @#*! Shock!"
Those wrenches come in handy, Hope the knee feels better. I can't work on a vehicle without tearing up a knuckle or two. LOL
"Hobo Freight," I wonder if Hobotech ever heard of them?
Can Lefty come by? I have a couple trees need to come down! That was weird hail! Did U teach yourself all this mechanical stuff?
Well done David you so good it does take lots of patience and determination with that you save lots of money too I enjoy watching you work trying to figure it out ..
You can get rebuild kits for those turbos. They're pretty easy and a lot cheaper than a new one. But like I said before you can get a wicked wheel for it and then maybe add in a diamond eye exhaust. They are meant specifically for the econolines with the 7.3
The diamond eyes sounds nice and is not obnoxious and you can really hear the turbo whistle
Awesome π I really love your channel, not only for the content but also because I'm a fellow traveler myself and I can definitely learn something from you. If you're ever curious, check me out βοΈ
Nice shock replacement Dave, I did a little research and Amazon sells a spring shock compressor for about $30.00. It looks like it grabs onto the top of the shock and a 2 bolt plate at the bottom allows you to ratchet up the shock and compress it to mount the bolt and nut. It looks like it would work on your new Monroes. Sometimes though you still can't beat the old school method with a jack. Sorry for the road rash on your knee, at least now you can say you GOT SKIN in the game. I'm always impressed that you tackle jobs that are not for the meek, but knowing your rig gives you the best peace of mind and when you do it you know it's done right. As always both you and Lefty stay safe and hope to see you on the road soon.
Like the shelfβs David..!..portable sound ..πβ¦.you should get one of harbor freights low profile creeper ..40 $β¦.if you have the room under there.? ..looks like it ..love watching
Still doing airbags or did I miss that video?
What small bright portable projector do you recommend for the mobile traveler?
We give all the success of the repairs to the very fine supervision from the Left-meister ! Good job Lefty !! Looking fwd to your new adventures this autumn.
Saint Louise, Mo. 1977-ish –
We had 2 inch ice balls. Hundreds of those small ice balls all froze together.
We had windshields smashed and trees torn apart. You name it we had it busted by those ice balls.
That hail is a pretty harmless event, but it can still break glass under special conditions.
Your not worried about snakes or spiders with Lefty in that water?
Just having peace of mind knowing these different things have been repaired is great to know. At least in the future you know all that you have fixed.
Gooloo
DO NOT SEND MONEY TO ANYONE REPORTING TO BE ME SAYING THAT YOU WON THE GOOLOO. I NEVER contact the winner though comments. The winner will be posted in a video after the drawing on the 30th.

nice overload shocks for sure-stable that ride/nice job too/thanks much
Wow, I got tired just watching u. Good job!
GOOLOO love watching you and your supervisors videos
In NE Ohio we get hail, which is the harder icy nuggets. The slightly looser version you mention seeing that more resembles compacted snow could be graupel, which we also get here in NE Ohio π
Just dropped by to say hiπ hope all is well with you & our wee Lefty (wee being a term of endearment not a comment on his size!).
Hugs Valerie β€

More good rig work getting done and glad you obeyed the boss dog! Glad to see him having a nice fun walk in the creek. He loves the water and then there's the diggin in the old tree stump for his favorite creature smells. He sure has a fun life! Yay on the good test drive!
