[QUOTE="mattwtrs, post: 293242, member: 1187"] I was out shoveling snow & thought of more parts problems.. P-300?(Ford Econoline with Bubble top). 3 speed shifter on the column worn out so linkage hangs up in between gears. Pull over, open hood use chunk of scrap wood to realign l linkage and continue, this went on for weeks. Write up response, Parts on order OK to run. I went on vacation, found out there were a couple of road calls so a new 4 on floor shifter & tranny were installed. A month later I wrote up there was loud cracking noise every so often somewhere in back. OK to run was response, a couple of weeks later the drive shaft dropped & bounced up taking out the front fuel tank. The tank was never replaced. The engine was starting to use oil, over 100,000 miles so you would have to fill up the oil when you stopped for gas. My next vacation a Sup & cover driver ran the engine out of oil so I got a new(used) engine. I had a safety ride a couple of months later and while the Sup was driving something happened to the clutch. I told him no problem I'll drive without it, he didn't know it could be done. After the last stop he asked if he could try driving with out the clutch. 4 miles later he took out the tranny. Just before peak the cracking noise started again and a couple of days later my foot went thru the floor. The car was finally ADA'd because of claim problems. The back doors had a habit of popping open and there were misdeliveries galore(lost pkgs) by the cover drivers. I had wrote it up but the mechanics would give me bungy cords that were usually missing when I would come back from vacation. [/QUOTE]
