    It's really simple to swap an entire unit Rebuilding isn't, but if you have a step by step manual that's simple too. I have collected a 16x20 garage full of tools without room for anything else over 35 years so I might be an exception I bought a sprinter in transmission limp mode and fixed it...

    Breaks are good, as long as you can support it without digging a hole. Just consider the rest of the job market before burning bridges. If US is anything like here, the jobs market is a dumpster fire Making less than minimum wage, really less than living wage is unacceptable however. But...

    It.does But after viewing a YouTube video, it's no different than the last 8 I did. 2nd February transmission change in driveway. Now it's a tradition And it will probably rain like last time and freeze in the dark if I take too long, fun times

    Nice. That's how things happen, they just kinda snowball I have a hunch from working 3 days a week; retirement might not be what I thought Good to keep busy more or less.

    Yup.. We plan to escape, but so far only 2 out of 4 kids are self sufficient. 1 decent paying run and 2 to 4 goof off jobs a week, home every night That's one thing that changed since you were here. Most jobs pay fairly well now

    I never pulled the trigger on a larger truck so don't think I'm in any way talking down to you. Have you looked into stuff nobody else will haul? I've made as much as $10.81 a mile. I don't have any US contacts, but I have ideas. DM me if you want a few. They will at least be worth what you...

    I had to drive thru it. Fortunately less than 400 miles this time of week for entire day Wasn't more than a foot of snow, but heavy moisture packed that still has 6 inches stuck to the bottom of my van making it drive like it's loaded. In the face of headwinds constant at 30 mph gusting to...

    Shiny If I were to decide I could make money with one, it would be an ancient FL70 Don't ignore short runs. 5, $200 localish moves is still $1000....usually pay is higher on short runs also to compensate for the lack of miles I take all the $300, 150 mile runs I can get in the small van

    I'm thinking my El Paso, where I stayed barely 8 hours before getting a full rate back to GM Oshawa near were I used to live wasn't typical. I actually WANTED to stay later (but took it) After the drive down, about an hour of looking around at the truck stop and trying to look at Mexico thru...

    Big Truck Why

    I got your answer in email, don't know why it isn't showing I wrote a long answer and decided it was too specific, here's the short version If that sounds high to you you just don't understand how small vehicles work. Just like I have absolutely no clue how to make it 1 month in a big truck...
