Catfish, you are the winner!! Truck is at Henry's Truckstop/Alice's Restaurant, in Yocumtown,PA- Which is the Etters area. (I'll accept that). Congratulations!! I will E-mail you for your address so I can ship out your new flashlight. We thank everyone for playing in our contest! Might make...

Being more of a car based engine, if I owned a Sprinter I would add 100k mile timing chain replacements to my own maintenance schedule. That $500 could be a very small price to pay instead of taking a much more expensive gamble. It will for sure be added to the shop manual maintenance schedule...

The 7400 can be either a class 7 or class 8 truck, depending on how it is sepc'ed. DD's 7400 looks to have the clsss 8 specs and should be considered as such. -Weave-

I have been looking for a cutaway diagram of the engine itself. MB truck diesels in the past have last nearly forever. But I think the Sprinter engine is based on the diesel design for MB 300 series diesel cars, but have yet to find any solid proof. I am almost ready to take a bet on it...

If any type of RWD vehice, regardless of transmission is being towed for any distance greater than 40-50 miles, I recommend dropping the driveshaft. -Weave-

At this point I wish I had an internal view of the Sprinter's 2.7 Diesel. MB typically keeps things secret, thinking their products are too good to fail. Taking a guess, the 5 cylinder engine is an interference type with an overhead cam. That means if the timing chain breaks, the valves go...

All you have to do is win, then you can stick whatever you want to at me, plus whap me over the head with your new flashlight! How many dispatchers are getting calls for loads to central PA now and wondering why?? We are heading for the cheap light! :D -Weave- This place might become the...

I think about my only pet peeve is fuel islands that are wet all over with fuel. Or the driver who pulls up, and instead of going in and paying for his fuel and parking, decides to sit there blocking the isle for 30 minutes while he fixes his hot dogs, takes a poop, and chats with restaurant...

Haven't heard from you in a while! That big Sterling is a Class 8 truck, and would be big step above the Acterra in my opinion. Of course Sterling is Freightliner, with all the same Freightliner aspects- no they are not Peterbilt 359's, but they are decent trucks that get the job done at...

I totally agree. I would go with this Unicell setup long before a Sprinter. As some Sprinters are beginning to accumulate over 100k miles now, I am beginning to hear some news on them that is not good. That body with the Ford E350/Powerstroke diesel (and some plywood ballast) I think will eat...

For the deal with the T/T, it sounds to me you are much better off sticking with that than getting a van, even with the hassles of driving it. To be home every day and have insurance is just about priceless. -Weave-

Getting your IRP the first time around can be tricky. I had to change my OK IRP to a NY, and I know what you mean about the 652 complicated forms you can't comprehend. There are agents out there who can do this for you. I used Continental Transportation Services...

That is another thing as of late I have heard- people I know who have been getting DOT inspections have NOT been getting CVSA stickers, regardless of inspection level. I have not been given a CVSA sticker since I had my old FL70 a year and a half ago. Have they done away with that because...

RE: Thinking of jumping into the business with a D I don't know if you have seen the rule clarifications Rich. The 14 hour on duty clock will stop with at least 2 hours in the sleeper, and reset after the required 10 hour break. -Weave-

From what I understand she still does registrations for Oklahoma businesses only. If she owes you money, I would definitely go after her for it. -Weave-

I wonder why they target women more? Knock on wood, I have not been given a DOT inspection in well over a year. Do they figure women will be less apt to argue? Of course they are cuter and generally smell better to male DOT inspectors, but the other thing I thought of was this: I do recall...

You guys are very warm... But we have to know the exact town and exact location. I thought this would be REAL easy!! Next time we'll do a poetry contest:7 -Weave-
