If you think these are rare in private hands, check out the LLV's younger brother, the FFV. There is literally ZERO info online apart from photos from news articles, a few stock photos, and a short Wikipedia article. I can't find ANY mechanical information about it, other than it was based on a ford explorer, but I don't know what was changed. To my knowledge, there are none that are privately owned, as any that are in bad condition are immediately scrapped. I seriously very much want one, but I don't think there's a chance in hell I can get one.
@MattWinkler19 күн бұрын
There are almost as many FFVs as LLVs still in service near me - surprising given how short their manufacturing run was! If any postal carriers want to weigh in on the difference between the LLV and FFV in comfort and practicality I'd love to hear more. (I still think the LLV is cuter though and will not be swayed)

I can't believe I missed this video's release for almost a whole week! I'm all too familiar with project creep and how that goes for putting out any videos regularly at all. The remote oil filter thing is neat but I can confirm at least that it's not stock. That kind of modification is common in larger fleet vehicles however. You've really got me reconsidering doing voiceovers for my videos now 😆 I'd not yet removed the pump cover, it's neat to see that they reenforced the lid.

I've always wondered why the post office didn't update these with the 2.2 Ecotech or a similar later model engine for more power and better fuel economy and a/c airboxes from the s10
@furgulley807710 күн бұрын
This must be an older llv. It actually has the 2 grab handles still installed on the rear on each side of the rear gate. These are literally 2 door 1st generation s10 blazers so drivetrain parts are plentiful. You could swap in the 4.3 or even a v8 pretty easily. Also the suspension parts would be pretty easy to upgrade. I drive one at work every day and would love to get my hands on one. Lucky you. Im guessing the guy who owned it must've been a rural carrier. I've never seen that livery ever on a postal llv. I'm also surprised the tray is still in it. Good score.
@MattWinkler19 күн бұрын
I didn't know the grab handles were removed from other models! Mine's a '92, so not really early in the 1986-1994 production run. And yes I believe the previous owner was a carrier in (very) rural PA, it's obviously a very old paintjob and I'm still not sure if the livery was unique to a specific locale or just very old.
@furgulley80779 күн бұрын
They had to remove them because in urban areas skateboarders and bicyclists would grab on to them and hitch a tow. It was a safety hazard because the rear visibility is so bad. That's what I was told years ago in my training anyways. Being a 92 that's a newer llv in the run. My understanding is they went from 86-94 before they were replaced by the FFV. If you look at the number on the front or rear of the mail vehicles, the first number represents the last number of the year it was built. That being a 92 the first number would've been a 2. I drive a 93 llv so my number is 330383. If you see a newer Mercedes metris they will likely start with a 1 or a 2 for 2021 or 2022. Pretty useless info I guess.

Tip: When starting a vehicle with an in-tank fuel pump, after it's been fully drained/run dry, cycle the key switch on & off (3-5x) to re-pressurize the fuel system before cranking the engine. This will allow immediate start-up of the engine without repeated/excessive cranking.

Please don't stop making videos, you're awesome man! ❤
Is everything all right postal worker Newman?
Yes sir, I believe everything is all squared away. Isn't it, Mr. Kramer?

Good color secret service black.
True ibanez fan listening to vai in the background
That's a weird sound to come from a guitar. You must be adding in pedal sounds to obscure what a Gilmore mod actually sounds like. Thanks so much for that.
Strip it and polish to a shine…
Hey I go to mountain ridge Mr Albright was talking about you today we watched some of your videos just cool to see one of his previous students.
Glad to hear it, that's awesome! Mr Albright's a fantastic teacher and can help you learn a ton if you're passionate about making music and put in a little practice
Beautiful thanks!
Where can I listen to this???
Just here and on Soundcloud at the moment - planning to start uploading to Spotify someday when I have a bit more finished! soundcloud.com/matt-winkler-960590325/another-sun-bohlen-pierce
@@MattWinkler1 thanks
You didn't manage to salvage the CRT glass. What's the fkn point.
Saw lots of these for most of my life. It’s amazing how long they have been used. My next door neighbor was a mailman and he drove one…he got to take it home with him.
It's truly remarkable how they just keep trucking along, nearly 40 years in service and I still see them putting in work every single day!
