    new Sprinter

    If you are looking for something that is hard, tough, slick and looks good, look at Bruce's solid oak prefinished hardwood flooring. I've just installed some in my daughters house. Instructions say to fasten it down with either 6d or 8d finishing nails and there is no way to drive them through...

    Koni Shocks

    Danny I want to recall that Ford had two technical service bulletins that may apply. One was steering wheel nibble above 45 MPH. The other was harshness or vibration after wheel balance. Hope things are going good for you and your family. We have been out of service since the 16th...

    Whos the winner? Fedex CC or Panther?

    We've been with Panther over nine years so you can conclude that we are happy with them. Yeah,every once and awhile we diagree on some little point but nothing earth shattering. As far as being hassled we hardly ever get a call about anything that could be called a hassle. Guess they know from...

    Trickin' Das Sprinter - Teil Zwei

    Turtle, Nice Job! I know you will enjoy having all that shelf space. It sure makes life easier out on the road. A place for everything and everything in it’s place. If I could remember where it’s place is lol. Hell to get old. I can also sympathize with you on getting the...

    Great Van/Great couple

    I appreciate all the positive comments and hope to make the Expo if we are anywhere close. I'm afraid my van is showing some wear from hard use especialy the floor. And when Danny saw it it could have used some straightening up lol. It is fast approaching the half million mile mark so guess it...

    Dream Van turns 3

    Turtle Seems you took my post personal and I regret that. I only posted to try to share info on my van and share the info I have on diesels of all three brands and some info I have on the Sprinter. I’m sorry if I offended you, but I disagree with several of the issues. I am not...

    Dream Van turns 3

    My Dream Van just turned three years old so I thought I would update everyone on how it is doing. Maybe this will be helpful to someone thinking about buying a new van to start their career in expediting or thinking about upgrading their present van. It is strictly for information purposes and...

    Fantastic Fan

    I prefer my MaxxAir http://www.maxxair.com/Products/Turbo-Maxx.aspx because it does everything the Fantastic Fan does but doesn't shut down everytime it sprinkles a little rain. I like to bring in the rain cooled air instead of being shut in while it rains. It can be used even in a thunderstorm...

    A big suprise in a small package

    We delivered to Roush Racings Research and Development Center several years ago. We got there about 03:00 and there was a rollup door open but it had one of those expandable gates on it that was closed but not locked. I could hear someone working in there so eased through the gate and went in...

    Future of Trucking

    Dave, I know the railroads have the container trains. But are they cheaper? Think about it. The next time you have to wait on a train at a crossing check the weight of the cars. Most have the empty weight stenciled on them. Then the containers have to be of heavier metal to stand the loading...

    Oil in the Driveway

    If you are getting oil out the breather tube you are probably getting close to needing an overhaul. I would take it to an International dealer and have them check the crankcase pressure with a manometer. It will check the pressure in inches of water pressure and they have specs to go by...

    Need advice on overhaul

    If the oil analysis is good, oil pressure still good, and it's not using a bunch of oil I wouldn't worry about it. If the water pump hasn't been replaced you might do that for safetys sake. And I agree with Dave. Go to Cat if you decide to have it rebuilt. Dieseldoctor

    Future of Trucking

    There is a thread on here called "Victims of our Own Success". In it there was some reference to what would move freight in the future. It reminded me of a piece I wrote in 2003 to the Virginia DOT when they first started talking of building toll only truck lanes to relieve congestion on I-81...
