    I have a choice of 4 new Bridgestone Vsteel tires or Firestone Transforce HT tires on new GM wheels. Which would be the better choice? Which would go more miles and which would have better winter traction? Also has Hankook or Michelin but those are on Ford rims. I really don't want to swap out...

    Is possible to heat a CV with an electric heater?

    I bought a 2,000 watt generator. Would I be able to comfortably heat my cargo van with a 1,500 watt milk house style heater?

    Generator Mounting Options

    Well I finally broke down and bought one of those 2000 watt inverter generators. Carrying it inside is not an option, smells and could possibly lose loads over the fuel inside the van. Now, what is the best way to mount it on a GM CV? I have been thinking about installing a front receiver hitch...

    Electric cooling fan

    On my Chevrolet CV the a/c works great on the road and most times through traffic. When it's 100+ degrees and I try and idle the van, the air starts getting warm. I'm guessing that I need more air flow across the condenser. Have any of you tried using electric fans installed in front to push...

    Scale question

    I was under the impression that being in a CV under 10,000# that we never needed to stop at open truck scales. Right or wrong? I was driving back from Denver CO Friday afternoon and while driving through Nebraska 2 different times I drove by scales on the highway that weigh in motion. Both...
