    Ordering Sprinter

    Get to a dodge dealer, they still have a bunch of them on the lots - or did as of this morning. A few weeks ago I ran across a new 2006 3500 - no one seemed to want it.

    Covert a class 8 tractor to straight truck

    No not really Guido but the guy doing the level 1 may look at your sticker and wonder about it too. It's the sticker that seems to rule.

    Finally the NEW 2010 Sprinter...

    David, I don't know if GM still has it but once you could log onto a customer service site and actually track your vehicle - from order to delivery at the dealer - you should ask your dealer about that.

    Synth back to Mineral

    I'm referring to the wear on the connecting rods surface that ride against the a face cut into the crank. Some times I have seen where the oil pressure is lower then it should be and there is a high iron content in the engine oil which turns our to be a higher than acceptable clearance between...

    Air Leak or what?

    It's a pain in the a** the first time you do it but after you get it done, it seems easy.

    OK so let me get this straight, the sticker on the door said 20k GAWR?

    Truck stop safety?

    I really have to say this, you should spend some time out in a truck, not van, at a few of these truck stops. You should see what goes on. Many times it is the subtle things. I would take a trip to Atlanta, go to the one on the loop on the west side, go to Bordertown, and try the Toledo Pilot...

    Question

    Try again, you have to add in Medicare, FICA and other half of the taxes that you don't see when you work for someone else. Some states can hit you with a small business tax and sometimes there are other things you may not have to deal with until the second year - quarterly payments. This is a...

    attempted capital murder

    But Leo I got the point that throwing anything off a bridge or embankment is a bad thing, we have had a lot of things here happen like that but realistically, we can't do much about it because of a lack of a justice system and the need to rehabilitate the criminal. I'm all for Maxi style...

    Thinking of buying a van

    If you are in a truck and only been in it for three months, why not change companies? You will make more money there and if you stick it out for a year or better, you may get to drive for one of the 'expediting' owners and get into the business that way.

    Canada Metric System

    England seems to be fighting it, a lot of the attitude still seems to be in MPH, not KPH.

    Covert a class 8 tractor to straight truck

    guido, I am confused. You are 14.2k on the axle, put another leaf in and now 18k? What about the axle, you swap out the axle? Putting another leaf in means really nothing if the axle is rated at 14k, right?

    attempted capital murder

    So Leo, I understand what you are getting at but the last time I looked, and my point really was that Canada can define terrorism any way they want, this is a foreign country. We have a lot of other things to be concerned about here and until we invade Canada, all we can do is hope people don't...

    One Tough Nerd

    Who knows, There is a lot of work to do, a lot of damage was done and a lot of contracts that Granholm has put in place for her friends will have to be broken. It is far too early to tell but it should be a business person who will not care what political favors will be made to get there. I...

    attempted capital murder

    Leo, Like other European nations, they have taken a more civil approach to this with light sentences and so on. If it happened say in Denmark, they would be allowed to live with their family in a state provided home but not allowed to leave the compound - hard punishment.
