The roof of an Aerocell cargo body is not metal so can you mount the QC antenna (dome) inside the cargo box? I remember seeing a straight truck getting the antenna put inside the cargo box because it had a non-metallic roof and I wonder if any Aerocell owners could help me with this question.

What's your opinion? I tried it on my windshield and it really does allow me to run in certain weather events without turning on the wipers, but when I do turn on the wipers they hesitate (jerky motion at the bringing of the stroke) as if they are hitting sticky spots. Moreover, their is a...

I finally had the opportunity to really look inside and outside of a Ford Extended Van. Note: I didn't say Extended Wheelbase, because they don't extend the wheelbase! So how do they build an extended cargo box? Well, they simply add more van body behind the rear wheels. The more I looked at...

According to the Commercial Fleet Truck Mgr where I do business, GM is going to produce a 4500 series cargo van during their next production run in 2009. At first, I thought he was talking about a Kodiak cutaway chassis, which is a 4500 or 5500 series, but he informed me that this will...

Anyone have a 15 foot Aercell on the GM DRW 10,000lb GVWR chassis with a 6.0L engine? If yes, could you tell me what the empty weight of that combo is excluding the driver, personal items and fuel (less than 1/4 tank)?

I believe starting in 2007 you could opt for a gasoline engine ? I was just curious if anyone has purchased a Sprinter equipped with the gasoline engine? If anyone has bought one, or is driving one, I would appreciate you taking the time to let us know how it performs.

Ford and GM single-rear-wheel chassis with a gas engine are only offered with a 4.10 (Ford) or 4.11 (GM) differential. Anybody ever change one over to a 3.73 or lower?

I had a driver friend tell me that his Sprinter started losing power and 45mph was its top speed. He drove about 15 miles to an exit and pulled into a truck stop. He had the vehicle towed 150 miles to his home area. Freightliner said a new tranny would run about $6000. Aamco said the...

TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is the premier standard for gasoline performance. Six of the world's top automakers, BMW, General Motors, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and Audi recognize that the current EPA minimum detergent requirements do not go far enough to ensure optimal engine performance...

I wonder how many owners really have been contacted about these issues. In the past, I have known about GM recalls or service bulletins long before the dealers. I have only been sent one recall notice, but I knew about the potential problem before I got the letter. That makes me concerned about...

A friend of mine recently changed his plugs. He asked me today which plug was rated the best. He has a 6.0L Chevy 3500 and he put in a set of Bosch plugs. Roger was also asking if the double or triple tip electrodes were worth the extra money and did they really provide any benefit. I told...

When I ran a Duramax I used Stanadyne Performance Additive. I had excellent results and GM endorses this fuel additive. This time out I will be in 6.0L Vortex; therefore, what say the EO forum members who run gas "B" units? Which fuel additives do you like for gassers?

Anyone know of a good jobber in the Dayton area that is experienced in placing 3/4" plywood in a cargo van and recessing the e-track in the plywood? Thanks!

It seems as though the traditional Qualcomm antenna, which requires an installation bracket, cabling, and keypad, not to mention the expense of mounting one and having to poke 5 holes in your roof; would move more companies to use a handheld GPS with cellular communications. The expense of the...

I had never seen an Express van with a 6 way power seat, outside temp gauge, compass, power-heated mirrors with integrated turn signals, quad head lamps, etc. until I began to spec out this cargo van. Moreover, I wanted no side door or rear door glass and those were hard to find in stock...

GM techs tell me that their locking differential system has a clutch pack that locks the differential when one of the wheels breaks traction or senses slippage. I guess I can understand the advantage if I were pulling a heavy boat up a wet boat ramp, but considering my driving style (slow and...
