    2 skids vs 3 skids, how often in van

    Yes, moot I have & they are a "blast" yet the 3.7 & 3.5 non turbo seem to have lower cost of ownership, the quickness is not an important factor to me.

    2 skids vs 3 skids, how often in van

    Yep, my other Van's were diesel, but I opted for gas on the last one due to diesel fuel costing more than gas & paying approximately $5,000 more for a diesel as well as the higher maintenance cost and diesel mechanics, I just couldn't justify the rate of return on my investment.

    Parting with the ole girl (my Express) will be bitter sweet, she doesn't owe me a dime. 725,000 miles. A couple water pumps & idler pulleys and every day maintenance is all she has required.

    I agree, if GM would jump on the hightop bandwagon I would probably go with them, both of my last 2 Expess's have served me very well. But, I do know that I have missed a few loads in the last few years due to being low topped. That coupled with most carriers now ( mine included ) only put on...

    Dave Sullivan, no decision to be made as far a new van, the Express will be replaced by the Transit. As I stated, "have already been expediting for a number of years" so I know what model truck I want, my previous research has shown the Transit will work best for me. My research of fellow...
