    08 Sprinter, long wheelbase, even longer body, 6 foot roof. 3 skids and a permanent 40 inch bunk. Trying very hard to find a good Freightliner grille and badging. I for one don't like the goat!

    EO 10 year's

    I would not have been able to start up as smoothly as I did if it wasn't for EO. Not only did it provide a ton of info about the business side, It also gave me a window into the personal side as well...and I still decided to do it!:D I'm in for the decal! I would proudly put it on the truck.

    The thread that can't be hijacked

    I don't know what is more disturbing...... That video....... Or that you knew where to find something like that. Are you saying the Mootster looks good in pink?

    Alignment can make a big difference

    I used to have all new trucks sent for a full alignment after 60-80,000 miles (same time did the engine top sets too), and then afterword only if we saw anything funny on the tires or truck was dog tracking. That and checking tire pressures regularly (always with an alligator valve cap) usually...

    A b?

    Thanks for the replies. Reason I asked is you still hear "A" loads on the VRU and when you check on-line it will say "customer request" = A for a unit. Got me thinking is all.

    Your Indiana Highway Safety Info Please?

    I have noticed several states/provinces are handling initial responses to weather very poorly. Ontario has a problem with conditions much like A-Team was referring to, that is, a light coat of snow after a period where the roads have been relatively warm and dry. It seems there is a severe lag...

    Cargo Van Cafe'

    It's slow, especially for B's. I don't think the current economic slump has caused enough B guys to pack it in maybe. It seems the C,D and E freight has picked up a bit, might be due to those guys having higher expenses and therefore more of them have exited, improving the situation for those...

    Ripoff or Crazy IC?

    The independent contractor and broker are bound to any agreement the two parties have made. If the IC has agreed to the 60% of the 2.00 rate then that is what he has a legal right to. If the agreement states 60% of whatever is charged, then the IC has a right to his cut of the higher rate. Any...

    You just don't get it do you? You had a bad deal with someone and want to tell everyone. Maybe to warn, maybe to vent. There are RULES about posting names and companies. These RULES are in place for very good reasons that may or may not directly apply to your situation. If you aren't happy...

    Sprinter EGR valve, again!

    Jack, you should make sure your oil is MB229.51 approved. From what I have learned so far, the additive package in more common diesel oil is a problem for the MB v-6. In the 2007 models MB 228.31 oil was listed as OK for that engine, but for 2008 and up the 228.31 was NOT approved. Most 228.31...

    international dt466 loosing oil

    Check your exhaust pipe for signs of oil (wetness or lots of wet soot buildup) and check your fuel, see if it looks like it has motor oil in it (makes it turn brown and swampy looking). When the high pressure oil o-rings fail on the injectors the oil usually goes into the fuel. You might also...

    JR

    I think the pressure of not performing well is starting to catch up with him, going to Hendrick was supposed to cure all his woes. Guess it isn't happening. The pressure of "Junior Nation" is immense. He did sound a little doofish, he made a mistake, admit it, get over it, move on.
