I decided to use the brackets with 2 x 4. Didn't know about that option. E-track on wall is a requirement for my Company, so i will install it. I will use the x-pattern LDB mentioned for heavy loads. I also have d-rings so that should be more than enough. Lodi Metals: Just saw the site...

Looking for options for load bar for Sprinter. I have not seen E-track load bar thats locks into E-track rails that fits Sprinter at about 80-85 inches width. They all seem too long for Trucks. 1) Can I find these bars that will lock into E-track for Van? Ive found the ones with the rubber...

* Hi! Did trade shows(30-35 per year) from 1986 till 2004. Sold my business and moved to Europe. Opened a Computer Shop and did that for 8 years. I hated being stuck behind the desk/counter. Have alot of experience on road and in business and really enjoy driving. That's brought me to this site...

Thanks for the advice. Can wait till Sept/Oct even though that was my original plan. Don't see price going much under 40K with diesel for Transit. Well all see soon enough.

Going to buy a 2012 Sprinter and would like some advice from you experienced Expediters. Will be used for Expediting. I have a choice of two 170E's and different options so I am trying to figure out if its worth the extra $2500 for the higher $ model which has: 1) Cargo Pack- Has L track...

Good to see! Just put a deposit on a new Sprinter. Need all the info I can get. Probably start in Feb. Thanks

Yes,I understand that. Price seemed reasonable thats why I listed it.

Just looking at prices yesterday for rebuild and Jasper had the 2006 engine for 6500$ + labor etc. Just an option if you decide to do something in Knoxville. You can find installers on their site. JASPER Engines & Transmissions: Remanufactured engine: diesel, marine, import Good luck.

Just from reading 3 years now and not being experienced in Expediting I hope to start this Fall. Much experience on the road though and very good at running a business. Some ideas to get started I have. 1) Low payments on my truck. Probably no more than 400$ per month. 2) Money to back me up...

Pay attention to what all these guys say about overloading the van. It might not catch up to you right away,but sooner or later it sure will. I had a e350 7.3 diesel box truck 10,700 GVW and had it built up with HD springs and carried 12-15k often and it cost me plenty in long run. Being not...

Hope you get serviced and out the door better than ever. Some times we forget we are as fragile as our vehicles. God bless.

So if you are 5 years or younger and sign on with BOLT and stay with them and your van/sprinter goes to 6-7 years its ok? Thanks, Steve

Thanks everyone for the good info! Helps me make a better decision. Looks like 2006 model is favorite right now. Learning alot of these forums.

I have a question for all you Sprinter owners. If you were buying a used Sprinter would you go with option A or B? (Considering your carrier age limit is no problem) A) 2004-2006 under 100k miles, good body no problems. B) 2008 high miles 300k miles, good body no problems yet. I am...

I would agree. I have been looking for a used Sprinter/E350 diesel and its seems the vans that are better on the outside are also better service by their owners. I would think if someone would go to the trouble to keep rust away and keep the body clean they would also maintain the engine...

I guess this guy wasn't happy with his truck and wanted everyone to know. LOL Looks like body's ok and the rest is junk. Car # A43

Dolphin. Love the Miami Dolphins since I was a child. Yes I know they have been in for a lot of bad years! Gotta stick with them though.:) lol

Not too much information on new Ford Transit or Dodge Ducato cargo vans. I went to Dodge and Ford dealers and they basically knew nothing. Only the Dodge dealer told me they were trying to better the Sprinter price on the Ducato to around 30K. Ford Transit it say 1st/2nd qtr 2013 hopefully...

I like the 1)General 2)Truck 3)Newbie the most then sometimes look at Carrier forums. Every once in a awhile look at Recruiting forums, but it seems not too much going on down there. Really like the Truck forum and also everyone listing where they are in General forum.

Thanks for this info! I thought gas MPG's would be close to Cargo Max to be honest.I liked the wide box and room, but not at 10-12 mpgs. 14-15Mpgs would be OK I think with 3 pallet ability and not so expensive service options Cargo Max looks like the favorite so far. Looks(Aerocell)...
