RE: SPECS FOUND it's a long list folks With all the Sprinter expertise here could someone answer a question? If I'm looking at a '03 2500 with 158" WB and 154 hp diesel with 350k miles, what would be the best bet on what would fail first? Engine Trans. or something else costly? Should the...

Is anyone using a phone card like Verizon or Alltel or the others sell for $50 to $200.00 and conecting just like your phone? I've used Flying J's and Panera's and figured that there might be a little savings there, even after the service charge of $60.00 a month. Flying J's is $4.95 a day and...

I've been thinking about the cost involved in "a" truck, and how to put that into a budget. I was wondering if there is a rule of thumb figure. Like say $2000.00 If your truck payment is $1000.00 Rebuild engine in 4 years $275.00 Tires in 2 years, $150.00 Transmission in 5 years, $100.00...

I've been talking to people about this same subject lately and I get the same answer from people that have the tag or pusher axle on... They say the next time they will go with a tandem set-up. The main reason being stability in all load conditions. t.

Took me a long time to get on here to check the photo to make sure, but That same truck was in the Flyin J this weekend. They are from the UP. Nice truck.

This weekend I was goin south on I-65 and looked over in the north bond lane and saw a poor young service guy struggling with one of the wide ones. The alum. rim was bigger than he was, but he was doing his job. That's why we drive instead of change tires. Right? t.

Is there anyone on the forum that has one truck or van with your own authority? I'd like to talk if possible. t.

Do you know any Van that is getting more than one load a week? Those that are just happen to get in the right place at the right time. I have a friend that is in a Sprinter and he is busy all the time, but I've talked to others that are getting the one load a week to. t.

Fortwayne: That would be good to pick and chose the loads that you are going to take. All of us would be glad to do and some of us would actively work at it. But if you get a load after 5 days that goes 120 miles and another one that goes 350 and then set for another 5 days, how often do you...

Don't know if this is right on this thread, but... Has anyone tried TelNav on a cell phone? I was reading there web site and it looked good for the price. I know they aren't specificly for trucks but they will get you around trafic. t.

Does a van have to stop at the weigh stations in Alabama? t.

I got to thinking about the price you told about so I went to the local Chevy dealer to check on the price for the switch. He brought it up on the computer and showed me the number for the switch. This is a switch for a non-tilting column. $306.00 = Just the switch alone. Center line. That...

Greg: Was that for your '99? Was it a GMC dealer? I think you live in Mich. also, was the dealer in Mich.? t.

Just went to the local GMC dealer to do the same thing. His quote was, (are you sitting down?) $975.00. He said that I could get the parts from one of the local junk yards and he would put them in. You need a switch for the steering column and a modual a bracket to mount the modual and a cable...
