    Wood Floor Repair

    I can't help myself! This "mens" work that I often find myself doing started as a child in a home with 7 brothers. What's a girl to do but learn what the rest of the kids learn? I do have the best of both worlds though, when I want help I can turn on my Texas girl charm and get it or if some...

    WI-FI service

    >Klip... what is a wilson antenna? I've never heard of them. TeamDrivers2 already explained a little about Wilson but they also make just the antennas for around 50 bucks. Smoothtalker.com also makes antennas and boosters that can be adapted to most air cards. I use a Smoothtalker booster...

    Wood Floor Repair

    Just want to update everyone on the progress of this repair project. I spent a lot of time this morning trying to track down the wood I would need for the floor. I tried the local home centers and a few lumber companies and it was not in stock anywhere. I thought I would be able to proceed with...

    Did you know most air cards can be adapted to use an external wilson antenna? It helps my reception a bunch.

    Repair work on a Sprinter, I need feedback

    Bryan, I'm pretty saavy on gasoline engines but still learning about diesels. Would you please tell me what product to use to "add SCA's to the cooling system"? What are SCA's. Do you use PH paper to check the balance of the cooling system fluid? I have a Sprinter and this entire thread scares...

    Dirty Truckers

    Hey Axis714, How about posting your route and schedule so the rest of us know to stay away! There's no job in the world that's so important that you can't take time to conduct very basic human disease prevention! How long does it take to wash your hands? Maybe a minute? If you don't have a...

    Chassis Sandblasting and Painting

    Thanks Terry, That's only 4 hours from the house! I hope there's more than rust and paint holding it together! Either way I would rather find out about it in the shop than on the road. :)

    Chassis Sandblasting and Painting

    Does anyone know where I can get the chassis of my truck sandblasted and repainted? I have been told by different ones that it can be done but no one I have spoken with knew where to get it done. Thanks,

    Americans are ignorant about Canadians:

    I would agree that most Americans are ignorant about Canadians. Most of us just don't have a need to know and understand people in other countries. Believe me I'm not bashing Canadians or Americans for that matter! I think folks are too wrapped up in their day to day lives to worry about others...

    What Van For You?

    I have the low roof Sprinter, I can stand up and walk around in it. I can also go through McDonalds with no problem. I'm not sure what people use the high-roof Sprinters for, seems like wasted space to me. After owning Fords and Chevys this Sprinter is my favorite. I really like the MPG. I've...

    Retrofitting Vans and Sprinters

    I think your timing for this idea is perfect. The Sprinter is up and coming in the USA. The season is ripe! I bought my Sprinter in 04 and had to do all my own conversion. Now there's a shop down in Austin and one up in Oregon that converts them. We do need more!

    cargo van

    Marty, I will give you my thoughts on the Ford to Chevy switch. I switched after 25 years of Ford vans to a Chevy van in 2002. The Chevy van started falling apart right at 10k. I mean nuts, bolts ect. started falling off. Around the same time the rear-end gears went out. The Chevy van is the...

    Air Leak in the Cab?

    Thanks to everyone. Dan, I think you may be on to something concerning the air bag valve. The air noise seems to be in that area, but the air brake control is close by also. I'm gona try the hose to the ear method and try to locate it. Got to make a run!

    Air Leak in the Cab?

    As most of you know I bought a used FL70 and it is the first truck I have owned that had air brakes, so I don't really know what to expect. When I turn the engine off I can hear what sounds like air bleeding down under the dash. It is not a loud noisy sound but rather faint. I know I have a...

    road test

    Drew, I ran into the same problem last Fall when I was trying to get a class B. My final solution was to hang around the testing center a few mornings till I saw a few people taking their road-test. I found two guys in my area that had small, automatic, class A rigs with 28 foot city trailers. I...
