Just took a load of plastic pellets from Indiana to Laredo for Whirlpool, Mexico. Thirty some years ago I worked at the Indiana Whirlpool plant. They had four plants and 10,000 employees in Evansville. They also had a strike every three years. Yesterdeay, while enroute to Laredo, I passed their...

I went through several scenerios on where to mount my generator including the front bumper (on an extended bumper guard/grille guard). Finally decided on the left rear door of my 2003 Ford van. I am currently having a box built using heavy gauge aluminum. Plan to mount using bolts and fender...

Nope, we were in Laredo yesterday. Did not send that sperm bank your way.

A lawyer and an old trucker are sitting next to each other at a very crowded TA during an Iowa whiteout. The lawyer is thinking that truckers are so dumb that he could get one over on them easy. So the lawyer asks if the trucker would like to play a fun game. The trucker is tired and just...

Thanks for the heads up OVM. Just signed up. I shall stink no more forever.

Two week ago we took a van load to an open pit gold mine in Nevada that was just overwhelming in their requirements , not for security but for safety. It was located in the mountains 14 miles off the highway via rough gravel. When we finally reached the security office I was instructed that the...

In Dallas, TX and looking forward to their 106 degree high temp today. We were at Lake Tahoe two days ago and it sure looked better than here. A most awesome place.

Have seen generators mounted in front of the van behind a grill guard. Anyone know who makes and/or sell them this big? Thanks

Yeah I need to post a picture of the table for you'll.

I just found out the hard way that the Honda E2000i generator that sells for $1240 at Honda dealers can be bought for $999 at Gander Mtn and Camping World. Just thought I would pass that along.

Tianpatriot, I put in a 28" sleeper with a 30" upright back on hinges. Down it is 58" and works for something less than two full size skids. Up it is in a sofa shape and allows for two full skids. I have 100" maximum of cargo space and have not had an issue with fit so far. Hope this helps

I have never been made to scale, is it common in a van?

Scuba, I loved your two term idea for politicians.

Assuming the GVWR on a CV is 9400 and you weigh a total of 10100. Is the stopping distance increased by 7.5% (700/9400) or is it something greater owing to some exponential factor I don't understand? Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated.

My 7.3 was leaking oil pretty bad so I took it to the local Ford dealer. He advisedthat I needed to replace the rear main seal ($600 to $700). Later I read on the net that the 7.3 rear seal is almost bullet proof but the oil pump was prone to leaking. It did not drip when parked going downhill...

Good find Bruno. Need to add $107 to the price for the ceiling assembly with heat strips. Both come out at about the same cost.

I thought about mounting a caster or two on the box that would ride upon the bumper when the door was closed, thereby transferring some or all the weight and vibration from the door to the bumper.

Yes Sir you would. I interviewed for a job once at a rendering plant. One of their big items was to collect chicken feathers which they baked in a 40 foot long drum type oven. Once baked, the "crumbs" were sold to dog food companies which added them to dry dog food for protein enrichment. Next...
