Hi Turtle, I agree, it's sometimes so easy to drift, we'll try harder. Mark

I had a moment to look at this image and it looks as though there are 4 possibilities. SWB Low Roof, SWB Med Roof LWB High Roof Regular Body, LWB High Roof - Extended Body. Once you get to the LWB, it's high roof only. Depending on the loadable length, I think the LWB regular would fit...

Hi Denny, Sorry, this took so long to reply to. It's hard to see, but I have wire baskets mounted as a system up and behind the drivers seat. The available space was not enough without the baskets to hold all of the little stuff needed on the road (The stock overhead bins and a center...

Hi LDB, Don't forget the 2014 Ford Transit...It looks very much like the Sprinter. From what the Ford website states, it should be available in Fall 2013. I am interested in seeing how Ford and the other van makers are going to respond to the needs of the many van markets, one of which is...

Hello Everyone, I have had some 500-700 mile runs now that have shown that the JDM chip is doing several things. First off, I noticed that the shifting of the tranny is smoother while running through the hills of Tenn, WVA, VA, NC, SC, KY. I used to use the manual setting on the shift...

Hello everyone, I wanted to start a thread on engine mods. I searched the site using the most common of terms and did not find anything. Maybe, I used the wrong terms and there are tons of posts, but I haven't found any. My interest is due to my trying a mod using a JDM ProM chip on my...

So far, my fuel mileage has increased! I do drive with a feather foot 98% of the time, as best I can running Ohio to Tennessee, Kentucky with occasional runs to New York state, Massachusetts and others. So it's not the Rocky Mountains, but it's not flat running either. My vehicle came with the...

There are shops that can legally change the GVWR and other ratings for your rig. I've never had to do this myself, but I have seen it in advertising that they can legally do this if they are certified. Then ofcourse, you will have to jump through all of the hoops with IRP, IFTA, and so on.

Hi patjan026, I use the Magellan brand gps's. I bought them before I got into vanning so they work ok with vans, but I don't have any vehicle size considerations to worry about. If you are running a ST or bigger, you may want to zero in on the gps's that have features for big trucks in...

Hi Moot, I've been away for a bit. I don't burn E-85 if I can help it. I use mid-grade gas or better. It's a few more cents at the pump, but it pays out in the long run, IMHO. I also keep an eye on the tires and keep the speed between 60-65, only go 70 when needed and keep the van as...

Hi Dolphin, I drove a 2006 Sprinter Extended version with the 5 cyl. motor for a fleet owner a little while back. The starting mileage was around 150K. At around 183K, the tranny free revved and was toast. Replacement tranny's can be priced from $1500 (Extremely used) - $11,000 (New)...

I use wood boards on the floor with the e track. The boards are just a bit higher than the e track and prevent the pallets from snagging on the e track. The plank setup also allows me to use my straps to hook onto the forward pallet, without digging into the wood when it come time to unload...

After this road fix, I can drive in the middle lane rather than the far left. The other MI drivers will be so happy they can go 90 in the hammer lane without my van (going the speed limit) being in their way. I normally don't use the far left lane except to pass, but on this stretch of road, I...
