    Locusts

    We have a 2018 Greyhawk 26Y with a Ford E- 450 Triton V10. We have noticed that when the engine is running somewhere around 2100 rpm there is a noise coming from the engine compartment that sounds very much like a tree full of locusts.

    T444E or Does PowerStroke?

    I have my eye on a 1998 Ford E450 shuttle bus...the engine model is not specifically listed anywhere that I could find, but I did find a sticker that says "Navistar 7.3" As best I can figure, the most likely candidate is a T444E, but I know Ford had a similar 7.3 PowerStroke that they used in...
