What are you running and why? I like the prices on the Class 7s but I think a tag axle Class 8 would be more flexible. Looking specifically at a 2004 International with these specs GVW 54000 Hendrickson suspension 14000 front axle air ride 40000 rear axle 256 wheelbase. 26 ft Multivan insulated...

I don't have a straight (yet) but I noticed on the MTO website a few changes... - you now need a medical on a Class G to drive commercial trucks (10001 lb) in US as of Jul 2016 -you now need a medical on Class D as of Jan 2017 to drive in US American drivers will be rolling their eyes and...

Started with a P0204 code, which includes possible injector failure. Here's my current list of fault codes, just in the common rail module P1630-001 not found but internet says its internal ecm error P1630-002 ? P1630-004 P1630-016 immobilizer - control unit WSP immobilizer does not answer...

Somebody stop me from buying a 1990 MCI 40 ft low floor bus and turning it into a man cave!!! Saw locally for $1600, was in service up to last year I'm seeing my own bathroom/shower, heated workshop, and general all around escape the wife and kids utopia! It has a wheelchair lift for...

So I've been wondering if they will go after the vans and make a replacement for us drivers. Here's the answer I'd be more worried as a Fedex or DHL for now...but they are coming

I've seen this everywhere, and although I'm not a newbie its never been explained. I posted here thinking it might help the newbie crowd as well. WHY does the registration have to be in the name of the driver? Insurance? Contract law? Company fleet insurance? Liability? My personal experience...

Or at least some insider info on the trend of gas prices against natgas... My natgas van with 36 gallons capacity is taking up space. I have two italian Faber 9.1 GGE tanks expiring 2024, replacement cost $4000 ea, used who knows. Everybodys pushing ahead with the natural gas, even here in...

With all the talk of the webastos and espars, has anyone had experience with the Planar 44d? Its cheaper, Russian, and at least sounds good on paper... I'm not sure that my idea of taking a spare heater core plumbed into the existing Espar is going to heat up the uninsulated cargo area of my...

So...the "old" 4 cyl is being discontinued for a new 4 cyl design and I see the dpf and such is directly part of the engine, not the exhaust pipe...dare I hope they fixed it? Anybody with some inside info, give it up! Link to some tehnical motor introduction info, haven't absorbed it yet myself...

For the old Sprinter owners...anyone upgrade with 6x9's? I have them so they're free and sounded great in my old Dodge Ram van Cut into headliner? Make custom box mounted to ceiling? Cut into bottom of door pockets? They're designed for free air like a trunk I know... Mount into partition...

Just thought I'd save someone else the aggravation if you are cheap like me and buy stuff off Ebay Bought a new blower and resistor this year, cheapest I could find on Ebay...chinese 10$ resistors do work, but the casing is not for the NA sprinters it seems so you have to glue it in with some...

So this just in...Germany has voted to ban the internal combustion engine by 2030 (13 years from now) seems likely they've solved the sprinter problem I don't expect North America to follow, but it has interesting consequences to the rest of the world if the EU follows...we're all mostly...

Charity's van aside, who's running a diesel with lots of miles? I like the proven 4 cyl and the manumatic, I dislike the flywheel problems, and dodge emissions bits... There's always a Transit diesel to fall back on, but I don't need a higher roof than the door opening... Unfortunately I can't...

If your Canadian, preferably near the GTA, and have your own van pm me and I'll pass it on to the owner...please don't ask me questions I'm just a driver, save it for him...first and last time I'll post about this, he can get his own EO account :p

So my position on newer vehicles is well known, I can fix anything myself and find it unessessary. This will be useful to newbies as well. I'm doing some side work and they're trying to tell me that you can get more business off the load boards with newer equipment. I read that as the business...

Inspired by a few ridiculous posts on equipment...to new operators... Research all you can and take things you hear with a grain of salt. Learn all you can about the vehicle you own/insurance and legal requirements before you buy, and get in the habit of performing an inspection before each...

To anybody new viewing threads, like tires, brakes, front-end, etc. If you are new to the business, you may get the wrong idea from some of the things I've posted. If you are not a mechanic, in the interest of safety, go with 2 or 3 opinions at different shops to help make a determination. My...

Replaced resistor, blower motor, cleaned contacts, checked all 3 fuseboxes, no blower even on high. Scan tool says short in blower stage 1. Any ideas before I start tearing parts out?

So I haven't been posting ( or working much ) need a bit of comedic relief for myself...sorry if I offend anybody, we're all ok and together and that's what matters... My 12 year old got hit by a car last week. Thought she was OK, but seems she definitely has a concussion and possible brain...

Play Pokémon Go. I can now walk as far as I want without feeling tired, and have more alertness while driving. Gotta catch em all
