    box trucks

    Are you referring to a straight truck or a cube truck? If you are going with a cube (box trucks with van or pickup chassis) make sure you go with one under 10,001# gvwr. Any vehicle larger than that requires a DOT log, vehicle inspection and higher liability insurance. If you are going to...

    Immigration Control??

    And they had not yet developed the wonderful welfare system we have today. They used the common sense approach back then...."A S S, G A S or G R A S S no one rides for free". Oh, the good ole days!!!! 2002 GMC Savana 3500 DRW 15' cube 10,000 GVWR "Old Yeller" former Penske...

    Love them Sprinter 07's!!

    I believe what you read on the website is right. 8550 the only available gvwr for the 2500. The 3500 standard is 9990 which is unchanged from previous years with an available option of 11,030. I think it would be interesting to see how many 11,030 gvwr units they sell or better yet how many...

    Type of equipment

    Check your local courier/messenger services. Most of your big expediter companies will not take on pickups as they want a minimum available cargo length of 8.5 feet. Even if you do find someone to sign a pickup on they usually require at least a 3/4 ton (250 or 2500 series depending on make)...

    Obama faults U.S. automakers for their stupidity

    RE: Obama faults U.S. automakers for their stupidi It seems to me that the automakers either have to pay to provide the healthcare to the employees or pay high taxes for the government to provide the care. Look at Canada and their ungodly consumer taxes. I don't know how bad they hit the...

    Barack Hussein Obama

    The only problem with Bush is Iraq. Iraq would be a winnable war if we weren't over there trying to fight with one armed tied behind our back to make it politically correct. We are losing this war because we give the media free reign to report whatever they want whether it is accurate or not...

    Gasoline brand

    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...

    Adding Cruise Control to GM van

    THanks for all the replies. I bought an after market (Rostra) unit off the internet for $159.00. I have it but the instructions scare the heck out of me. Do the 2002's need this module and all or are they basically pre-wired so a new "stalk" would be all I would need? 2002 GMC...
