    Ford 302 (5L) hesitation

    I'm having a problem with my Ford 302 V8 It's hesitating a lot when I'm going slow (around town and such). It seems to run fine when i step on it and at cruising speed. There is also a sort of whistling or squealing sound that isn't belts. It's more like an air thing. Kind of hard to...

    20% off AC Units

    Chef, What kind of inverter / battery setup do you have? Also, do you have a fixed wall for your bunk area or do you cool the whole van? If I were going to do this, I would take the passenger seat out and put the A/C unit over there and the heater in the winter. Then it takes up no...

    air guns and CMV's

    Air Guns shouldn't be a problem because "Firearms" are not a problem. If the state you are in allows you to carry a firearm, there is no Federal Rule or law that says you can't have one in a CMV. Your company might have a rule but it's not in the regs.

    Possible Dumb Question - Overweight Van?

    Thanks for the input. It was just a general question. I wasn't sure if there were laws about overloading a Van as long as you stay under 10k I've seen a lot of non-expediter vans out there big time overloaded. I saw one guy that had his 3/4 ton van full of fence posts (the steel ones...

    Possible Dumb Question - Overweight Van?

    Ok, This might be a dumb question, but I've been told that the only dumb questions are the ones not asked. What would happen if you had a cargo van that had say a 9000gvw and you took a load that makes your van weigh 9999lbs. As long as it's done safely (can it be?) how would one get in...

    Sevenerb, Sorry I didn't see your PM before now. No, I'm not expediting yet. Looking at getting into it sooner or later. I see some expediters up here once in a while. Not that many. Next time you are up here, drop me a note. [email protected] -Mike AkA Benzoid

    Thanks to Espar being stopped on WV turnpike was pleasant.

    Not to HiJack the thread, but what kind of 4x4 van do you have? I live up in snow country (Traverse City Michigan) and could use such a thing. GM only makes them in 1/2 ton and quigley is (or maybe isn't) too expensive. Just wondering :) Oh yeah, Congrats on the nice heater. That does make...

    Chevy van fuel pump

    If they are anything like my Cadillac SUV, every 100k .. But likely yours should last longer then that in a van used on the freeway all the time. I do have a Toyota that has the original fuel pump at 235k..
