    Airtabs on a van?

    Terry, I am not good with tools; therefore, I need to have a sunroof jobber cut the hole for me. Can I assume that all QC's have the same diameter? Could I cut hole, mount the vent and gasket prior to taking it to the carrier for installing the QC? Again, thank you for your time in...

    Chevy Express 3500 - Locking Differential

    Great answers! My only reservation is based upon previous driving experiences with cars that had "Positive Traction". When you accelerated forcefully, and both wheels were locked, the car would fishtail. The same car without PT would only have one of the wheels slip. As I never goosed the...

    Chevy Express 3500 - Locking Differential

    GM techs tell me that their locking differential system has a clutch pack that locks the differential when one of the wheels breaks traction or senses slippage. I guess I can understand the advantage if I were pulling a heavy boat up a wet boat ramp, but considering my driving style (slow and...

    oil changes

    As it applies to cargo vans: Oil it the least expensive maintenance item on my checklist. Why not forego the cost of an engine oil analysis and simply change the oil on a 5000 mile cycle for non-synthetic and 10000 miles for synthetic.

    Airtabs on a van?

    It just seems that the QC is taller than I am picturing in my mind and I wondered if it protruded below the roof line enough to decrease the 48x48x48 load requirement? PS. One of the other drawbacks to the swing side doors is trying to exit them in the morning when you are still drifty after...

    RE: What companys pay the most per mile, and inclu If the carriers bid the loads correctly, then the acronym FSC would represent the words Fuel Service Charge. Whatever the amount of fuel required to complete the delivery would be calculated into the rate. Do not taxicabs, trains, buses and...

    Why do you do this?

    Being an American means having the freedom to spend my hard-earned dollars as I choose to spend them. Unfortunately, automotive unions have artificially inflated the price of goods to such a point that the manufacturers can no longer be competitive. Who ever heard of getting paid 95% of your...
