I dont know how well sharing the supply for an Espar will work... they are fussy about their fuel line... Sent from my SM-G955U using EO Forums mobile app

Electric radiator fans cannot take idling... even with no idling the bearings go bad, about $1,000 IF YOU CAN GET A NEW FAN SET BECAUSE THEY ARE, ALMOST ALWAYS, OUT OF REPAIR PARTS! Radiators leak between the metal radiator and plastic tank... dissimilar materials expand differently and cause...

Never buy a diesel Promaster... they are constantly going down and dealers are not experienced enough to fix them. Gas versions are, unfortunately, all prone to the same issues. Chrysler knows about them but does not re-engineer them, except for the failure prone rocker arm needle bearings...

I will being exhibiting at the Expo and taking applications for experienced drivers to join my fleet... you are welcome to PM me before then. Sent from my SM-G955U using EO Forums mobile app

I can tell you from experience (I own a herd of Promasters) that they have several major engineering deficiencies that any of them could (actually, WILL) fail and cost you between $2,000 to $6,000, depending on where you are when the failure occurs. If you dont have at least $6,000 CASH in...

That won't work. Even with the switch off, the computer must see the resistance or the malfunction light will remain lit. Sent from my SM-G955U using EO Forums mobile app

Actually, no. We have had a great deal of experience with these. The connection requires a very specific resistance.. it is NOT a normally open or normally closed circuit. The resistance is needed so the computer knows there is still a good firing circuit in the air bag. We have not ever had any...

Only one way to find out for sure... Chrysler won't tell us. I suspect all the other bags would fire, but don't bet your life on it! Sent from my SM-N900V using EO Forums mobile app

No. Not without the warning light staying on. Sent from my SM-G955U using EO Forums mobile app

Our drivers watch the all miles rate for these trucks! While we carried less 4-6 skid loads in the beginning, it seems dispatch is learning to use these truck's advantages more as we go... I'm sure it is a learning curve. While the fuel economy isn't equal to our Promasters, it is more than...

Just my 2 cents worth but if I was the guy buying vans to haul potato chips (which are MUCH LIGHTER than expedite freight!) I wouldn't be so concerned with the box weight. My main concern would be keeping the unit cost down on the largest commercially made box I could find... I'm sure this van...

We try to improve as much as we can on every build... we learn and adapt! Sent from my SM-N900V using EO Forums mobile app

Dave Ramsey wouldn't know how to run an expedite company. We pay for all our materials within 30 days. My wife and Load One think I'm an alright guy... that's good enough for me... I can't please everybody! Sent from my SM-N900V using EO Forums mobile app

A team just won't fit... not really even close. We have to have a lot more than just a bigger mattress for a team... a lot more room for personal gear, food, etc. We went the other way, removing the passenger seat to make room to move the refrigerator and microwave out of the bunk area to make...

I don't ever discuss specific rates, loads, or customers. It was very nice. Sent from my SM-G955U using EO Forums mobile app
