    October Banter and Location

    Thanks everybody. I've spent a couple of years looking into expedite. Got some friends with FECC who pushed hard for me to go there. Talked with Panther people, E1, Bolt, Tri State, and a few more I can't remember. Learned the most right here on EO, though. This is where I figured out which...

    Where Were You On 9.11.2001 ?

    Working residential construction a couple of miles from home. The property owner called us in to see it all unfold on the TV. I dropped my tool belt and wanted to head to the military recruiting office. One of my guys reminded me I was 46 years old and had a family at home. I swear if I'd have...

    Sprinter insulation

    Hi again folks. I checked with 2 spray foam contractors that I frequently use and they both said that the temp of the material that is sprayed on the walls of the van can cause the metal to distort as the heat will cause the sheet metal to rapidly expand. This is especially true if too much is...

    Sprinter issue

    Thanks for the replies. I figured the on board mpg tally might be suspect and will do the calculation when I get the Sprinter back................... The dealer put some additive in the tank to help with water and injector cleaning................ The idle seems to improve some when the engine...

    Sprinter issue

    This post may belong at the end of b2boggs thread but I thought it may be seen faster here. My '07 was also cranking alot before starting and idling rough It would seem to be fine at speeds above idle but I suspect the mileage may be affected.(according to the on board system)I haven't actually...

    '07 sprinter issue

    My 'o7 has to crank for several seconds to start. Cold or warm engine. When I picked it up in N.J. a week ago it started fine. After I got it home I changed the oil, filter and will change the fuel filter before trying anything else. I finally found the fuel filter location under the air...

    Sprinter insulation

    Turtle, is your suggestion about using foam board to cut down on the amount of spray on insulation? I was wondering if it would be reasonable to just fill the voids with open cell?

    Cell phones

    I stopped in to a Verizon store and told the salesman to pretend he was explaining everything to a chimpanzee. I'm a little tech challenged when it comes to cell phones. I have a tracphone now. It had 1490 min. on it last may. It has 1201 now. He said, according to the info I gave him, that I...

    Speeding ticket

    Since I plan to be on the road mid summer, I've been setting my cruise at 62 with my work truck(freeway) and 65 with the car(also freeway). I have been consciously observing the speed limits on all other roads. Not only has my mileage improved as OVM said, but I'm calmer and even somewhat rested...

    Cell phones

    My wife and I are looking to get on the road in July and are trying to find a good cell phone plan. We currently have Tmobile who is being bought up by ATT. What I'd like to find out from whoever is willing to share: What company are you with? Does their coverage area meet your needs? Do you...

    cargo weight

    My concern with too much weight would lean more toward axles, bearings, tires and braking. Stabilizers, extra springs, air lifts, etc. will level a vehicle out but won't do anything to shore up an axle or bearings. I figure I can come close to what I'd need by making a few minor mods on the...
