    About the self driving, they've already opened up the door in my province...saving up for a driverless van, I'll ride it and become a tourist...but no government or union can save us from those desperate ones willing to drive for cheap, or slow it down, it's already happening

    Promaster box truck

    That's awesome, thanks for posting it! Never seen one...as for space I guess you guys have never been in an Alumnibunk e350 ford with the 24" sleeper...its very easy to heat and cool a small space, down to -41 I didn't idle It does look more suited to expedite flatbed work if there is such a thing

    At this once a week pace I was able to clean the house, spend time with the kids, and ebay a condenser and drier, abs sensor, blower motor and resistor, oil and fuel filter to cover absolutely everything wrong with the Sprinter for less than 300 Canadian. Hopefully I'll get a chance to use it

    Just some sprinter observations

    Can anybody chime in here and tell me, does your signal assembly and key move slightly when the column is locked or does it not move? Was a secondary reason for taking it this far apart, they insisted on doing the u joint for safety....fusebox ignition key and signal / cruise all move slightly...
