    Fantasy Sprinter C Unit

    I just checked the Supreme Corp. website who is the only manufacturer approved by DC to make and install the cargo boxes on the Sprinter cab/chassis. The Sprinter cab/chassis' GVWR from the factory is 10,200. Gee thanks DC. But they also scr***d themselves in the process IMHO. The Sprinter...

    Fantasy Sprinter C Unit

    I saw an interesting setup in Indy the other day. Someone had a 2001-2002 Chevy Silverado 3500 with the single rear wheels (GVWR 9900#). They took the pickup bed off and stretched the frame giving the truck a 120" cab to axle ratio and placed a 16' cargo box in it's place and used spacers...

    designing a cargo van

    Actually GM makes a van cut-a-way with a 10,000 GVWR and it even has dual rear wheels. Penske uses alot of these trucks in their rental business. There is currently one on Ebay. Nice set up with flat floor (no wheel wells). Only problem is if you wanted to raise the body to make it dock-high...

    The cost of Credit

    1997 Dodge Ram 3500 with 12' cube. Dock high with jackstands. 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel. BROOMPILOT, I agree with you 100%. I only go to Pilot as a last resort. They are only competetive when a Flying J is across the street and even then they are at least 2 cents per gallon higher. If they...

    Standard Mileage Deduction

    1997 Dodge Ram 3500 with 12' cube. Dock high with jackstands. 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel. Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the IRS had just bumped up the standard mileage rate from 40.5 cents per mile to 48.5 cents per mile for miles driven between 9-1-05 and 12-31-05 due to the...

    Now the truth is out.

    Maybe so. But rich white people would have been smart enough to elect a Republican governor and mayor.

    A newbie update

    1997 Dodge Ram 3500 with 12' cube. Dock high with jackstands. 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel. Pilot s**ks. I avoid them like the plague. If I do go there it is because I am running on fumes and I get just enough fuel to get me to the next J or Petro. 5 cents a gallon extra for credit is...

    A cry for help

    1997 Dodge Ram 3500 with 12' cube. Dock high with jackstands. 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel. Just tell the cops that the suspect vehicle was possibly a "rolling meth lab" and watch how fast they call out the dogs to try to find it.

    Got me again

    1997 Dodge Ram 3500 with 12' cube. Dock high with jackstands. 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel. If you are anywhere but Indiana I would use the RV/auto pump to pay with credit card. There is no credit surcharge on those pumps. However in Indiana you can't use your tax-exempt ICC # at the auto...

    CDL

    It is my understanding that if the GVWR is 10,001 or above you need to have a DOT medical card which shows you passed the same physical as the CDL holder, plus if you travel over 100 miles from your home base you have to carry a log just like the big trucks. GM makes a 3500 series van that has a...

    Credit Card With Fuel Rebates

    1997 Dodge Ram 3500 with 12' cube. Dock high with jackstands. 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel. No there is no dye in the fuel at the RV pumps. Dye is only added to the off-road uses such as farm or reefer use. The only reason I use the RV/auto aisle when I am outside Indiana is to avoid the...

    loads? getting better?

    1997 Dodge Ram 3500 with 12' cube. Dock high with jackstands. 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel. I also have been busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest this past month. After a terrible month of May, June is looking pretty good so far. But I am not getting too excited as I know the...

    Rain X

    1997 Dodge Ram 3500 with 12' cube. Dock high with jackstands. 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel. The easiest way to apply it to the windshield is to use the Rain X windshield washer fluid. I had tried Rain X in the past but never really cared for it because it seemed like it worked fine until you...
