And you haven't replaced it, with all those miles on the van? That would of been my guess on you're problem. It may show good pressure sitting there, but that doesn't mean it's not weak and needs a break once in awhile while under a load.

Is there any kind of rubber or plastic fuel line on the Sprinter? Even a couple of inches? I had a straight truck that had the exact same problem. Jason in High Point found it right off. The plastic fuel line was weak from wear and tear, high miles, and sucking itself shut when the engine was...

Looks like I whined a little too prematurely. Tim just called me with a load. It picks up Tuesday, but it's a good one, nice way to start the short week Thanks, Tim!

New tire on, and van now goes down the road smooth as a baby's bottom....vibrations don't work too well with me...Shower, van washed, laundry done, gas tanks full, couldn't be any more ready for a load as I am now...problem is, it's a Sunday, followed by a holiday....so, I am a victim of my own...

why not, their shower towels already smell like the urinals. Most, anyways.

Tim woke me up this morning with a good load going to Ohio. Wanted it badly. Didn't get it. Poop. Getting ready in case another load comes up. Ordered another tire to replace the one making a thumping noise. I knew there was a reason why I had that nearly new tire in the storage unit...it will...

Please accept my sympathies for you're loss. If there is anything you need, please call me. Hang in there.

Back in Kansas City again. Second time this week. Trying to wind down at the waffle house. I felt led....I nominate Windsor as a replacement driver ambassador. .. lol

Wouldn't it be something if I started to post again??...lol... I think not....my gift to everyone is my silence. ...lol .back to covert mode....lol..

A perfect example of the owner operator not getting paid is what recently happened to a multi-carrier friend of mine. He had 2 unpaid loads totaling over 2 grand, only to get an e-mail and several un- answered calls, etc to and from one of his carriers stating they have ceased operations. He's...

Glad to hear they figured it out. Wasn't there a part in the original diagnosis that was supposedly bad that no one could find a replacement for? My thoughts are, if that part does eventually go, and it cannot be found now,than what?...while it is running, would it be wise, if feasible, to get...

He looks like the type......lol...

In Michigan?

Ray and I were on the Ford website spec'ing out new Transits and there is an air-ride option on there as well. We think this is the Air-Lift 5000 system added on from the factory.

For about 4-500 bucks I can add an air-ride assist system on my van. I put it on my old one. It has an on-board air compressor option that is the right way to do it. Many cut corners and do not get the compressor and than when it comes time to increase the air in the bags, they have to search...

Awesome !!! Congratulations! !

Getting antsy, as I need to get back to work....But, the generator is not done yet, and the mechanic friend of mine can't do the front brakes until Friday now....Maybe it's best this way, I guess...I could be down south in that mess of a mess.... We put Mom's house on the market Friday, after...

New intake and plugs, fuel filter, and new mirrors put on yesterday. It runs REAL good and strong now, better than ever.....The old mirror arms were literally breaking apart, made out of pot metal, so they say...Found a new set made specifically for this van on e-bay for less than half the cost...

They sell them in different wattages. I started out with a 2500 watt and realized it was too much for my International straight truck back in 1990. Just cut one of the hoses going to the heater core and put the end from the engine on the top of the new heater and clamp it. Hook the end of the...

Naw nothing serious. Ford and G.M. use plastic intake manifolds. They are known to crack once in awhile. I got lucky. Mine made it to 405k. The other stuff is just routine maintenance. There are so many other things I would like to do, but not in this weather. Time to get back south. I was...
