Didn't you just get the truck inspected? If you have an exhaust leak that your shop didn't catch, they got some 'splainin' to do :eek::rolleyes:

Happy Birthday!

Since then: Cumberland MD to Brunswick MD; Cumberland to Selkirk, NY; 205 mile dh home to cash a check that had come in; Moosic PA to Oswego NY; finally decided that there were too many vans back home, so a slow dh to Pittsburgh by way of wife's sister's house. Now waiting to be paid so we can...

Will rates reflect this? They expect every driver to show up in a shiny new Transit, but they wanna pay for a '94 Econoline. Make up your mind, people :mad:

Flying J, Breezewood PA

Haha welcome to Pennsylvania Dutch Country :rolleyes::D

Should have dropped in on OVM yesterday; he was 8 miles from my house. Oh well; drive safe & good luck :)

My guy from KLM recommends against it; haven't gotten a definitive recommendation from Express Logistics. So, I'll probably let the idea float on down the Delaware :rolleyes: As for buying another truck, not this year! Never mind the soft rates and iffy economy, a big part of my decision will...

Now comes the real cost-benefit analysis. I got a preliminary quote of $5125 + tax (6% in PA), plus I know there would be small add-ons here and there (such as making a hole for my fantastic fan). That's for a 24" roof, custom-fabbed door panels, and includes a FMVSS-compliant roll cage. The...

Pennsylvania requires 15/30/5. Those are the same figures as when the law was passed in 1975 :eek: Course, in 1975 every Cadillac except the Seville had an MSRP less than $10k :rolleyes:

Narberth, PA :)

50/50 split? Who pays the fuel?

Only issue is, I'm stuck with a max of about 120" of length, as any flattop owner knows :p

Thanks, Ken. Next question, I guess, is how high to go. Is a 60" door height OK, or should I try for 66"? IIRC, "real" Sprinter type vans have door heights of 70" or above, but I don't know yet how high I can get installed.

I'm from Philly, so I've been called worse things than crass :p , but you hafta admit: when rates are more suggestive of a street corner humpty bump than an expedited freight delivery, the analogy is painfully close to being true :eek::(

55¢ per mile. Bad price even if I borrowed my daughter in law's Kia :mad:

Thanks, Bill; remember, tho, that your van could serve as an efficiency apartment in a pinch, at least compared to mine :rolleyes::)

Do you have access to The List? Even though I've never owned one, just about every experienced Sprinter owner on this forum recommend that you stick religiously to The List when you put any fluid into these German princesses.

Been mulling over the idea of replacing my flattop with a taller vehicle. Also looking into a professional roof cap install, which would give me 12-18" more door height. Lord help me, I've even thought of having the roof cut, braced and modified to accept a pickup cap! :eek: (Although my pimp...
