    GMC vs Ford

    Yes, it is a SRW E350 12'. 5.4 gasser. I love that engine. The original one was still running beautifully when I pulled it. It had several broken exhaust manifold studs and front timing chain runners were wore out. That was at 574,000 miles. The transmission I changed at 500,000. It was fine...

    To those who have generators underneath their van.

    The heat strip in a rooftop a/c unit is not designed as a sole heat source. It just takes the chill off the air. The heat strip cycles while the blower motor is continuously running. Basically hot air, than cold air, back and forth. A Espar is so much more efficient of a heat source. Heat rises...

    Oh, dont get me started....lol Back in 97-98, I was running 3 round trips of Indy tires from Goodyear in Cleveland to JFK airport in NYC every week. As I was always running across 80, and always having the c.b. on, there was this place called "The body shop" that always advertised on the...

    The red hose where it is clamped onto the metal presoak wand is ripped and kinks. How could you of not noticed? It will kink and stop the flow of presoak. Last time I was here was before Christmas and it was like that.

    Looking for established dispatch companies

    The many ideas that those Penske cube owners use for above cab air deflector amazes me. I give them credit for uniqueness. My favorite? A car hood bolted up there....lol..

    Who besides ThermoKing installs cab heaters?

    They are actually pretty easy to install. The worst part of the install is dropping the tank if you do not have a Ford or a Dodge. My freind and I installed mine in the driveway while it was 7 degrees out 7 years ago.

    Am I killing my diesel sprinter by letting it idle?

    Exactly what I was thinking....lol...2011. A new thread and a link to this Chinese heater would be a good thing, an alternative to an overpriced Espar and its parts.
