    It's NOT THEIR MONEY, IT'S OURS!!!

    LOL @ Mikey Moore. He came to our farm(with his grandparents) when he was about 10-11 yrs. old. That boy could tell some whoppers back then and he hasn't changed much. What a parasite.

    US Supreme Court allows anti-gay military funeral protests

    As much as I'll probably get a smackdown for this.........I agree with Greg.The fact that these vermin show up at ANY funeral and spout their hatred just goes to show what scum they are. But the constitution doesn't let us legislate morality and I believe this is a moral issue. There are...

    Chevy express oil pressure

    Excellent advice. With 400k on the clocks the most likely cause will be bearing clearances coupled with a tired oil pump. Although the mechanical gauge won't tell you exactly where the problem is, it will rule out the sending unit and send you to the next place to check. Straight 30 or 40 wt...

    Countdown to Another Sprinter Killer- Sort Of

    From what I've seen from new emmissions systems, DEF is "Diesel exhaust fluid" that is injected somewhere in the exhaust system to cut down on emmissions. Maybe the urea in the tank is the actual fluid that is used. I'm kinda hazy on that aspect.

    cargo weight

    LOL, Hey Chefdennis No, I'm sure that every load offer won't be 3,000 lbs. I was just given a set of parameters to get set up and am trying to meet the requirements if it's possible. Maybe it's not possible but I'd like to think it is. Anyhow, do you have the cargo max yet? It'll be...

    cargo weight

    That's pretty close to the info I found on the '09 models. I'm thinking that I'd need about 12 feet of cargo space to take 3 skids. Obviously the 144 won't accomplish that. With the 170 the cargo space works but with a max payload of 3005 there wouldn't be much of a possibility of taking...

    cargo weight

    I would definitely get a weight ticket just to be safe. My problem is that before buying a sprinter I'd like to find out from some of the posters here if the 2500 series might work. It seems that next shorter wheel base is a 144" or maybe 158. At present I'm not sure if these would take three...

    cargo weight

    I've been contacting a carrier that I'd really like to get on with and have been told that I'd need 3 skid capacity sprinter,weight capability of 2,700-3,000 lbs. and a willingness to go into Canada. I'm thinking that I'll need a 170"wheelbase vehicle to accomodate 3 skids. The 2500 models have...

    How to start with no experience?

    "How to start with no experience" is an excellent question, especially for a "wanna be" newbie like myself. I've been wanting to get into expediting for a while now and after finding the EO forums have learned a lot. I've PM'd some forum contributors and found that opinions vary on everything...

    Sprinter insulation

    I've been doing alot of reading and have noticed that most everyone says to insulate your sprinter or cv. One of my sub-contractors does spray foam insulation and I could get him to spray the interior pretty cheap if I took it to an ongoing jobsite. I just wondered if anyone has ever done this...

    I can't take the looser losers anymore!

    "I was one of those students that thought school and in particular English, Science, Math and any subject beside PE was a total waste of time. Now I am paying the price for my stupidity when I thought I knew everything.... To be that young and ignorant again as the older I get the dumber I seem...

    Now this is a Super Load!

    That's interesting info about the zero's. I didn't realize there were so few that were airworthy. About a year ago, my #2 son who's in the USAF stationed at Goldsboro NC, got to go up in one at the yearly air show. He and an airman buddy got to take a limo ride to the flight line and ride in...

    Hi Englishlady. I trying to figure out this new "friend" message system. At any rate, thanks for the invite. A couple of questions:What's life on the road like for you? (as far as showers, meals, motel frequency,etc.) Next, how do you set up your laptop to work in the vehicle? I have some...

    Regular CV freight vs. Sprinter

    I'm a little confused about the maintainence differences. Why would the sprinter vans require more maintainence? Or is it that parts are more expensive? Or is the scheduled maintainence more costly?

    To those who change shower heads

    I guess I'm still wondering about why? Cleanliness? Spray pattern? I'm not trying to find fault with anyone's reasons or be judgemental. Just curious. It would seem if the reason was cleanliness then a new sink faucet and toilet seat would be essential also. And what would be on the shower...
