    Cargo Van Promaster Oil Change

    I don't know what Dodge offers as far as oil changes, but the Ford dealerships have a thing called The Works. It includes an oil change, tire rotation, and they check all belts, hoses, etc, including brakes. They charge about $50 for this service. Otherwise, I go to a Valvoline shop. It costs...

    Ford Transit 3.5 Oil/Filter Change

    Promaster Disaster

    Extended gas tank for Generators

    I have a high roof, extended length 2016 Ford Transit 250. I want a rooftop A/C, but I don't want to carry a generator in front or in back or inside. I had heard of this set-up, but never seen it. Thanks for the pics. How long have you had it and how does it stand up to riding beneath the...

    Sprinter height

    If you set your GPS to the truck setting, you will avoid all of these problems. My Garmin that is not truck abled tried to send me on a gravel road that had a sign that said to travel at your own risk.. My Rand McNally keeps me on main roads and out of residential neighborhoods.
