@IDIDieselJohn I'd MUCH rather listen to a good old fashioned buzzer rather than an elevator style DING!! DING!! reminder chime or even worse, A synthesized "Electronic Voice Alert" that says, "Please Fasten Your Seat Belts", "The key is in the ignition." "The headlights are on." and "The door is ajar." A friend of mine had an '83 T-Bird Heritage with that option and he thought it was the coolest thing in the world!! "Buzzers are better!!!" I told him, He thought I was wacko for saying that!!!!
I`ve got a 1990 Ford Econline diesel. I LOOOVE IT! Greatest car in the world. I get happy just starting it, but that`s nothing combined to driving it.
We had a 1977 27 foot Ford Class C Motorhome with a body by by a California company called Roll-A-Long that we bought used in '83 & kept til march o '90, It had a 460 V8 with an 800 cfm Holley 4 barrel carb, It didn't have any buzzers at all, the seat belt light came on but there was no accompanying buzzer, There also wasn't a Key In Ignition buzzer either, I guess whoever owned that rig before us got sick & tired listening to those buzzers every time he drove it & disconnected the fuses to them
I figured it was probably something like that, I remember there was a similar setup like that on my family's 1980 Volvo 265 GLE station wagon from reading the Owner's Manual. I remember that buzzer sounded like the Dive alarm in a submarine, BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!!! BEEP!! DIVE!! DIVE!! It never bothered me at all though.
THe only reason I don't like the old-style key buzzers is because they remind me of my dad's old 1980 Pontiac Catalina he drove in the late 90's- this son of a bitch car was so bloody ugly, I was embarrassed by it even being parked outside my house!
that interior dosent look like an 87 it looks like the 77s mines a 86 and dont look like that but i wish i hade that intierior in mine thats a nice truck tho
yuppers. i had a '79. ,my father had a '77, also i had an '86 and a '91/ IIRC they used this interior untli the new econoline err new van body came about
not saying you do this..., me neither, BUT some ppl the buzzer , liek foot pumping, is a fetish. the buzzers never bothered me either UNLESS the switch malfunctioned
You say some people that like these buzzers like pumping? huh first time I hear that. I like the buzzers but pedal pumping I find to pointless, but it's a fetish from i've heard. I don't really get it but whatever lol not my problem.
Maybe they had not discovered pornography, and what they can do afterwards Eh?. ahh well a fetish is usually like a fad. eventually ( like clothing styles) goes away
75-91 ford vans can inflict alot of damage to other vehicles in a accident almost every accident I've seen when one of these van were involved I'd pity the other car even the 92-09 vans are the same way (except the long vans)respect the 6.9!!!
Lol who doesn't know that but they never made motorhomes with standards and the standards in vans are the standard on the columm (3 in the 3) but this automatic has been up and down big hills, flying down highways and we never had a problem with the trans and it's the original with almost 240000 miles on it.
My parents had the same buzzer noise in their 1986 Ford Mustang LX hatchback, and it was very annoying. I like these old buzzers myself, and I know a lot of people don't.
thanks for posting, i knew the 75-91 ford e-series where based on the 73-79 ford trucks, but i have not got a good look at the dash cluster, it appears to be the exact same one! and the exact same style of steering wheel! these vans even have the same body line (dentside) and the same taillights! and side marker lights! cool video!and the diesel sounds sweet!thanks for posting! i would like to see a complete once over of the whole van? inside and out and under the hood? thanks if ya could
They sure are the same body line (dentside) as the old 73-79 Pick-ups with the lights in the fender in the bodyline witch is awesome to bad they don't make em like that no more. I can make an outside video of this beast but not for another few months cause it's stored for the winter, it's an RV so if you do want to see the Van part on the outside it's only the cab part. And yes these old steering wheels were in many old Fords like the Crown Victoria, Lincolns too :D
I noticed that too...I have a 78 Ford pickup and the dashboard is exactly the same, only on the truck the ignition switch is on the dashboard. The steering wheel is also the same as on my 78 Grand Marquis.
You have a 78 Ford pick-up!! Do you have a video of it I gotta see that thing the 1975 and 1978 Ford trucks are my dream trucks. Yeah to bad they don't make these dashs anymore me personnally I think these are the best dash set up Ford ever made and they look awesome too :D
Rusted out floors been there done that well... I should say been through that LOL wow sat for 6 years,damn that would make one hell of a cold start. but still yeah do a vid of it when you can.
Aww John whats wrong with you ? Doncha know guys race greyhound bus sized Rv's now in addition to turbo diesel super trucks with 5th wheel trailers ? LoL......
Oh lol first time I hurd that. It's not that fast but the again it does weigh 11000 IBS and for it's weigh It sure has a lot of "Get up and Go power" Ofcorse not as much as a newer Diesel.

It's only a plug right on a little plastic box witch is the buzzer, you just disconnect it.
It's under the dash, normally on the right side of the column. it's a white or sometime silver box.
