If that was one of Ford's 6 litre engines it got better than it deserved. Our service has had nothing but problems with that engine. I was told of a service that has the extended warranty resulting in one of their ambulances having the engine replaced 5 times.

I guess that's why the other makes are now leading in chassis supply.

a fine example of surgery with a butcher knife. of course the object was to rip the scrap apart. did it rater fast but surprising how the body held up. it tore off in big chunks down to the floor.

Interesting, but seems pretty wasteful. If the drivetrain was bad they could have recycled the box to another chassis.

The red corner lights on the box could have served as organ donor lights for my 1978 Superior Cadillac because my housings are badly rusted.

They should have kept the 7.3, that was a great Motor. The new 6.4s, even worse than the 6.0.

Cool video.

While I do understand the point of the exercise, it was nothing more than a horror film for me, even if I know nothing about those engines and such.

That's probably why Ford no longer offers a diesel engine in their E350/450 chassis. I believe the 2010 ambulance prep package is only available with a V-10 gas engine.

This had to have been filmed in Tennessee!:alc: And I bet a few pro-car based ambulances and hearses met this same demise as well too. :14_6_12:
