American Pickers Retires Sprinter for Ford Transit

Postby wojciech » Wed Nov 05, 2014 9:04 pm

Mike Wolf, Frank Fritz and their assistant Danielle, known from tv program "American Pickers", took for work Ford Transit Mk8 L3H3 with engine PowerStroke 3,2l/I-5.
Their previous van it was Sprinter, but now it has done 275.000 miles.

With 3,2l/200PS engine they have chance to do the same mileage... :roll:

Mike Wolf told:
-"We're told the old van had 275k miles on it and was starting to smell -- so they gave up on constantly paying to fix it." :lol:
