Vision Manufacturing of Georgia makes Ford and GM vans "tall" however, I don't know if they will do an existing van, I've only ever seen them do new ones. They do a nice job but it is a bit pricey.

There is no such thing as too much space. Even tho you might not need to sleep under load, you may want to stretch out a bit if you are waiting for part of the load or waiting to be unloaded. You'd be amazed what you can end up with on board to be prepared for things (not counting Moot's...

In order to drive a Mercedes I would need to have an intelligence level closer to yours Turt!!:D The Merc kit will likely be cheaper, lots on E-bay!

Jack is right, although in rare instances it may be on the top of the valve cover.

What engine are you trying to find it on?

After 63,000 miles I have moved from left to right, put a few hundred on it today and so far, even tho it's a Dodge, I like it. Anyone got a Freightliner grille they want to sell?

Lots of folks in the high performance Duramax world use these to get the required amount of fuel when they tune the engine for pulling or drag racing (600hp plus). Never heard anyone claim a fuel mileage benefit but those guys tend to think in gallons per mile not the other way around. They...

I'm generally a Freightliner fan but how did they ever expect the Sterling brand to grow when they never did any really serious changes to the original Ford models? I know someone who works in QC at the St.Thomas plant and the morale in the plant started to tank when they lost the FLD and...

Oil from snakes.......

The fuel companies are making sure all their "heavy" fuel is gone before the cold weather starts. My mileage in my little ole Duramax is up slightly as well.

Glad to hear. I for one will be quite happy to see him return if he chooses to do so. His posts always made me think!

Amen to that. Likely you'll just see carriers quit hiring vans that aren't Sprinter sized. Hope that day is a long way off but I can see it going that way.

Well, he's either really happy or, needs to open a window and get some oxygen to his brain...... Odds are 50/50.......

Will be taking delivery of a 170"WB Xtra long with a 6 foot roof this week. After doing this with a short bed pickup, its going to feel like an aircraft carrier! Thanks all for your advice!!!

Complete waste of your time and money.......

Espar, easy to fix. Webasto, don't need to fix often but likely after 3 years will need an extensive tune-up.

Waste of money...If you don't learn to do it by sound and instinct you'll never be able to drive the truck without looking at the display. There is plenty going on outside the windshield to keep your eyes busy!

There is nothing wrong with leasing out a toll road, we did it up here!! You can cruise in complete comfort at speeds during rush hour of almost 40 miles an hour on a highway with exits not near anything useful or important. AND...You get to do all this for a measly 47 cents per mile!! Are...

Prestone Bug Wash.........great stuff for making good photos:p. Airports are great places to deliver to, lots to see!!! Have you ever hauled any GE 90's?

I'm not into conspiracy theories either but pjjjjj has a good point. A lot of (not all) dispatch software has a "revenue target" function built into it that can be used (sometimes without dispatcher input) to equalize all of, or a group of owner operators. Not saying the cat does it but it does...
