E-Series VansTechnical discussion of topics related to vans powered by any of the Navistar engines. This covers a broad number of years, but there isn't enough demand to split it any further.
just trying to see what type of mileage some of you guys put on your vans in a year.
i put on about 160,000 kms(100,000 miles) a year and have 461,000kms (288,000miles) on the ol' girl now. it is a 2000 e-350.
i am gunning to get 1,000,000kms(625,000miles) before any motor replacement or vehicle replacement. well we will have to see about that. but i will try my best in the coming years.

In 1.5 years of owning my ambulance I put 35000 miles on it. How the heck do you put so many miles on yours?. Do you ever have time to stop for a bathroom break [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

That's low, but my '78 E250 with a 460 was bought 1/79 and finally sold 7/02 after over 23years and had 136K miles on it almost all towing (well over 100K).

Around 17,250, thanks to a short commute and lots of "shop-time" over the last 2 years. Looking forward to an excuse to actually drive it farther than 200 miles from home. But thanks to 2 jobs and a long "list" it may be while yet...
