AMCTech Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Guys, Like I've ranted before, ambulance coaches rip. Have any of you'all had the same experiences, e.g., sloppy wiring/trunking/chintzy butt-splices, poor hvac taps and connectors and the like? My latest 6.0 350 engine R&R is an ambulance that is a horrendous conversion that make me shiver when I think peoples lives depend on the whole mess to function properly. A/C and heater lines are routed clumsily around shock towers using copper HOUSEHOLD piping, grille assemblies chopped-up for horns, sirens, etc. I wondering when I put this POS back together if it will even work. And get this...it's only about a year-old and was better than 100k!!!???!!! Abomination!!! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/puke.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordMastertech Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 I see the same thing on the fleet of air port bus conversions I work on. The things could be the same year and only a couple of Vin numbers apart and they are assembled completely different and very sloppy at best. Luckily they are warranted for 1 year and 12000 miles on the conversions, so in a little over a couple of months they are out of warranty.

Jim Warman Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 I'm not impressed with the ambulances I get.... mostly Crestline and Mystere here in Canada.... BUT.... they are head and shoulders above motorhomes in quality of conversion work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
