All I gotta say about Fyda is " blow cigar smoke in my face and walk away, that just lost my business". Please think about that before buying from Fyda. By the way, Mr. cigar smoker(you know your name,in case you ever read this), I paid CA$H for the Century. Remember, looks ain't everything.

RE: Just acquired a well-loved 02 Sprinter; ISO ge >4) How many of you with 02 Sprinters experience the "rumble >strip" tranny noise problem? Uh, to me any "rumble strip noise" from the trans. is a problem but I do not own or drive a Sprinter. I for one would like to hear a lot more from...

any chance that you're heading up 71 near yardstick 209? if so there are several shops, I'll get on the horn with 'em right away(if they are open) sorry I can't help down there.

What miles are these 2 trans. getting before rebuilds are required? Would really like to hear about any tech. tips that have panned out. Teacel, are you out there still running vans?

I have always wondered what kind of miles everybody gets out of GM and Ford auto trans.. Time for a post on that.

The new GM diesel van will have a 4L85E trans. instead of the 4L80E. Gassers (I believe) will have, as in the past, a 4L60E. This is only my opinion but almost anything is better than a Ford auto Trans.(I prefer their manuals). As with the 4L80E, change the shift parameters to a hard shift to...

I thought the Fed. Gov. will not allow truck drivers to protect themselves (referenced in the handbook, will try to find it). I for one would like to legally carry something to protect myself.

That's a good price. Enjoy it and I wish the best in your new truck. See ya at the hook.

That's a nice truck. Volvo has a good rep.(kinda wish I had looked at it).

Ya, what Weave said. What kind of sleeper?

At this time (info from GM) the Duramax is not offered in the vans. If anyone has better info please post, expanding (maybe) and need more options. Not comfortable with Sprinter or anything to do with Chrysler, Freightliner included(dealer service s***s). That leaves Ford,and a 1990 model is not...

Thank's for the input. Sounds like I did not go wrong on the engine. Stand up for what you believe in, don't do something just because everyone else is!

That's my point, do you want to run empty to a good load area or with a little in your pocket. What works for you might not work for me. I am not knocking the 144" sleeper(or bigger), when my son is on his own my wife will make the team complete and we will have a White Tiger truck, till then I...

It did get way off subject. In response to original question, a 3 axle(cabover,28'box,plated for 50,000#) can make you more if you sign with the right company(most co. stick with expedite only,regardless of what your hauling capabilities are), one that will get you ltl and full truck load...

Thanks everyone!!! You all have given great advice that I will listen to. Look forward to seeing any more(boy,I sure sound like suckup) don't mean to, but I want to learn more and this is a GREAT place to learn to succeed.

I don't want to keep a truck long enough to rack up a million miles, but I want to plan for the worst and work towards the best. Hope to see you on the road someday, buy you lunch and LISTEN to your thoughts on our chosen lifestyle.

This is just what I was hoping to hear, someone who did this and succeeded. Your input is greatly appreciated. If you live in the Medina, Oh. area, you are who gave me this idea(thanks for the time you took out of doing P.M. to talk to a greeenhorn)if not, your time taken to help me by posting a...

A generator is an item I would like to add down the road. Thanks for the reminder(push the dealer to add it for free:+ , yeah right).

Thanks Weave,was really waiting to see what your thoughts were. The info will be of GREAT help.:)

I should have provided more end use info. This tractor will be stretched for a 28' box(102x110),tandem,liftgate possibly. The ones I am looking at are running 300k-500k miles. Figuring end cost 25-30,000 versus 40-45,000 for a Century. Thanks.
