    The world ending?

    Looks like MI could be the sport capital of the US, maybe if the Pistons play they will be winners as well. Now that being said, Go Jets! Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Hello just another newbie

    It would be bad timing to jump into a new van now. By the time you get the van, got it setup, and went through orientation the busy time would be about half way done. I would either wait until next year or drive another person's van or Sprinter to see if it is something you will even like. At a...

    DOT Requirements for cargo van

    A DOT inspection would require basic things like lights, brakes, suspension, tires, glass, defroster, horn, weather stripping, and mirrors to be working and in good shape. The safety devices would include fuses, triangles, and an extinguisher but I'm not sure they will get that in depth. I would...

    Cube Van MPG

    I think everyone sees the benefits of the cube van but would also like to see him get better mpg. I think that is why the recommendation was made for 3:73 instead if 3:55. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    I would be looking at the 2500 170" EXT as the best choice for a Sprinter. As for the rest of the questions I will have to let the Sprinter experts answer those. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Need help with rear end issue.

    If this happened after the fluid was changed I bet they were running Lucas in it before and your mechanic put regular fluid in it now. I would see about changing the fluid to at least a 50% mix if not 100%. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    A little fear is a good thing, paralyzing fear is an accident waiting to happen. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Need help with rear end issue.

    They may add Lucas to the differential fluid to quiet it. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Your net pay can be influenced by many things like vehicle payments, your company, and your vehicle so it can be hard to give a figure but I think you can make $40k if you stay out. As others have stated there is a life style change you need to get used to which is sitting more. Once I got rid...

    I never heard of that Chevy before so I couldn't say but there is the Nissan NV and other HCV's to consider. Nissan is supposedly coming out with an extended length van this coming year so it could be worth waiting. The issue I have found with the van is that there are so many loads that you...

    I would take another look at straight trucks, they usually get to park out front at the truck stops and I always see them at Walmart or malls, the parking opportunities go way up in a ST. I would look at an HCV or Sprinter and avoid buying a regular van if you can since the bigger load capacity...

    Truck Backing Aid: Getting Your Marks

    Well paying someone worked out better than the first time my brother tried it on his own which resulted in him ripping the corner of the door off on the yellow metal frames they put on the sides. He then got to listen to the experienced drivers complain and ridicule him. Posted with my Droid EO...

    They kept it for a few years after the Windstar was introduced but the Aerostar was an odd looking vehicle for the US. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    New to this site

    I have been with Bolt since May and I think they are a decent company. The pay has been good not the best ever but better than a lot of other companies. I have my issues with them but overall I think they are a decent company to work for. There are several people here that drive for them and...

    They are unlikely to discontinue it anytime soon because they would want to make sure they had a loyal following for the replacement. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App
