If anyone out there is intrigued to create a vehicle like Rev's Ride here is a good place to start. A brand new 2008 GMC Savana DRW cutaway chassis rated at 10,000 gvwr. Seems to be a pretty good price as well. This is truly a rare bird as most models with 10k gvwr have H as the 4th letter in...

I had the unfortunate experience of crashing while under load late Thursday night. I had picked up in Greensburg, IN and was headed to Muskogee, OK. I was headed west on I-44 in MO at MM 114. Now I could say I swerved to miss a deer or a 4 wheeler cut me off but the reality is I dozed off and...

I am sure Jiffy Lube is not unique in customer fraud. They just happened to be the one's to get caught. http://mfile.akamai.com/12924/wmv/vod.ibsys.com/2006/0503/9152183.200k.asx

Just a reminder to make sure you use a carbon monoxide detector when sleeping in vehicle. Heater likely led to man's death

Has anyone who has ever ran a 5.7l GM van had a problem with oil readings on dipstick? It seems the only time I can get an accurate reading is after it has sat overnight. If I try to check it during a fuel stop it always reads low. There is a mfg sticker right next to the oil fill that states...

The following story should scare the heck out of all of us who operate a commercial vehicle. I like Toby Keith and am sorry his father was killed in a car crash but I equate the verdict in this case to the McDonald's "hot" coffee and OJ Simpson murder cases. Common sense is evidently a thing...

Does anyone know the status of the driver of this Tri-State D-unit involved in this crash on I-69 north of Indy last week? http://www.theindychannel.com/slideshow/14246669/detail.html?taf=ind 2002 GMC Savana 3500 DRW 15' cube 10,000 GVWR "Old Yeller" former Penske truck

An under 10,001 Sprinter cube. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-DODGE-SPRINTER-BOX-TRUCK-MERCEDES-DIESEL-CHEAP_W0QQitemZ250167857806QQihZ015QQcategoryZ80762QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Check this rascal out I found on Ebay. A 2007 Sprinter cab/chassis with a 14' Unicell box. Daimler scr*wed us on the GVWR but it is still cool looking...

I have always been skeptical about folks claiming one brand of gasoline is better than the other. My dad will run nothing but Shell in his cars. I always figured it was the same stuff from the same refinery and you were being swindled into paying a few cents more for the branded stuff...

I copied and pasted this from the news section. I thought it warranted discussion. I don't think it will ever pass but I would like to see it bumped up above 10,001 a little. Going all the way up to 26,000 may be a hard sell though. What do you all think?? A U.S. House bill would change...

Has anyone ever added cruise control to a Chevy/GMC van? My 2002 Penske (5.7L gas) truck did not come with cruise and my right leg is getting ready to fall off. I saw some kits on E-bay but I am not mechanically inclined. Anyone ever tackled such a project or have any suggestions on where I...

I just read this article in JEMS (Journal of Emergency Medical Services) magazine. I thought some of you may be interested. Looks like another nail in Ford's coffin. Not to mention that the 2008 E-Series is uglier than sin. Ford Announces Discontinuation of E-Series Diesel Vehicles...

I pre-registered for the truck show back in January via the internet. I have not yet received any confirmation or tickets. Should I be concerned? Anyone else out there got their tickets yet??

http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=200770201044 I really hate to hear this. The Connersville and Bedford plants are the only Visteon plants I would want to go into. They were always very pleasant and treated drivers like human beings unlike the folks up at Sterling Heights.

I found an article on this in the latest issue of Light & Medium Truck magazine. I found the following information off www.fleet.ford.com/FFH/Rental02_15_06.asp The original article indicated a gas only (5.4) model but I can't confirm that. Who would want a 6.0 problem child diesel anyway...

I posted a similar message a few weeks back but didn't get much response so I thought I would try again. I need to replace my current vehicle and needed some info from GM van owners. I love running a cube truck but I always said my next one will be under 10,001# to avoid the logging hassle. I...

1997 Dodge Ram 3500 with 12' cube. Dock high with jackstands. 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel. I am probably going to have to replace the above vehicle. While driving home this morning I noticed the rearend start shaking and loss of power, when I looked out my rearview mirror my driver's side dual...

If a driver is operating a vehicle under 10,001# can he still take 70% of the per diem? I read somewhere that only drivers who fall under the DOT Hours of Service regulations can take the 70%. Thanks
