    HEY VIRGINA ? FEDEX C C!!

    If I were given that load, YES it would fit into the sprinter. Did a load like that last year, forklift driver wanted to call and get larger truck, told him the load was given to me and it WILL go into van. You just need to know your limits and what to do to get load into van. PS how is jet...

    How do you decide what loads to accept?

    I also would refuse the load. I always did the calculater thingy too. Had to have min. of $1.10 per loaded mile to make van move. Why take load if your going across then DH to home in cleveland anyway?

    8 days and no run

    8 days and no run

    For $75.00 I'll put pooche in a small box and sent it air freight. Terry, a quick question for you.

    Sprinter noise/vibration

    I have looked at 2007 sprinters and you can now order one. most would mount cooler in front of condenser and radiator. The only thing to remember when installing an after market trans cooler is to let it do all of the cooling, and not have fluid run through the radiator cooler. John "flyin"...
