Good news...you have alot of options. The first is having it recovered. The cushions also can be replaced by going back to AA. Not sure on the cost? The other option is to buy a two piece system from camper world and let them install it. The two pieces is an advantage so they can get it in...

There have been some recent posts (ratwell) on that engine. I would do a search or go to a dealer and ask for recall and service bullitins on that engine. That will tell you a bunch, in addition to what issues they have had and severity. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

The members have given you some good advise. I would be careful not to confuse the negative and positive with what is reality. Alot of mistakes happen when someone starts and you would be shouldering that burden. Many have failed because of being undercapitolized or didn't understand the real...

That should work. Several APU's are designed to run a roof top. If it applies to vehicles over 8500 gvw, I would say it would clear. I would recommend carrying that document with you in case you ever got stopped. If the EPA law passes in CA, your unit would not qualify unless you have it...

Van conversion places, and places that modify vehicles for the handicapped will have what you need. Additionally, some places like superior coach might be of some assistance. They build ambulances, hearses, and limos. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I think he is inquiring about the overweight penalties, rather than weight limits. Kinda like speeding tickets, the penalties are usually accessed by the county. Amounts will vary widely even within the same state. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Your right. That is a tall order. Penalties will vary from state, county. Some have tolorances for so many pounds over, and some will shut you down right there until you can scale legally. That could entail moving your load within your truck to weigh legal, to calling in another and off loading...

Welcome aboard. Yes, the truck show was a great time. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Depending on how it is geared, the engine might have alot of excessive wear running it at constant highway speeds. If it has been red lined to maintain 65 through its life, it will likely need a early rebuild. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

On our Cats we do them around 150,000. Most of the time they need no adjustment, but it doesn't hurt to check. I think the manuals say at 150,000. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I love that place...great rooms as well. Your right...that is vacation time. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Thanks for the clarification. I thought you meant something else. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Companies that have an irregular FSC could always charge high freight costs, yet bargain with a low FSC. Who's getting the profit there? Bidding flat rate guarantees a constant surcharge ===================================================== Excellent point. But if the surcharge is too low, then...

Some weeks you are going to be driver number one but some weeks you are going to be driver number 2 so in the long run it's probably going to balance out fairly evenly. That aside, without seeing the accounting records for the entire year to confirm equal debits and credits for fsc received and...

It seems like it would be a better system to pay 100 percent per run, rather than moving numbers all over and quessing that it is 100 percent. As Ron Reagan said, "trust but verify" I would demand some frieght bills for verification. If there is nothing to hide it shouldn't be a problem...

ECM on most Fords is under the hood. Not sure on the vans? Most of the corrosion, heat and moisture issues are at the module or connections. This is located on the side of the transmission. Our county maintenance mechanic has replaced all of them on Ford police cars over two years of age. Same...

I read that as saying Con-Way, the umbrella company, is making additional revenue from fuel surcharges in company owned and company operated trucks driven by company drivers. I'm sure O/O's are getting 100% of fsc on their portion of operations. =================================================...

The sticker you are refering to is the Customs Bridge Decal. That is to cover the customs fee. ($5.00) It doesn't cover the actual bridge toll. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Interesting post. When some jump in, they are unprepared for the slow times, afraid to make changes, think they will be millionaires, or undermanage and over finance their business. You are correct in that the ones that have been around for awhile are very busy. We have been busy and you are...

This is where your cost per mile (CPM) is necessary. Once you have a true number, you will be able to plug that into your formula and determine if a run has any profit in it. Depending on circumstances, it may take several runs to make up for the loss on the unprofitable ones. Do everything...
