Would like to keep to etrack just inside the 48inch zone, if possible. More storage, more better right. Good idea regards weight and stress on the deck.

The boards that run the length of the power deck frame is where I'm thinking of installing the new etrack. So the cargo is strapped to the deck and the deck is bolted to the floor.

The power deck came with the van. The rings in the floor from the factory look to be adequate. Just looking at options.

How about etrak mounted on the top outside edge of there power deck. Not sure if its a workable idea, anybody set up that way?

Our cranking batt was down, so the book got checked and it stated do not use fast charging devices. A reason was not given, would hate to fry the electronics buy jump starting with a booster.

The def system on the med. and heavy duty trucks operating in northern Alaska, had freezing problems until the fluid lines and tanks were insulated. We were told not to close the master elect. switch until 15 min. after the engine was shutdown as the system would not pump the fluid from the...

I have been enjoying this guys blogs, many thanks to everyone that makes this site so real and informative Bill

Just wondering how often after waiting 5 hours to swap loads drivers have been dispatched on a new load. Now i think understand the embrace the stupidity advice. Wow

Has anyone found out for sure that a late model vehicles can not function after a EMP event? Seems everything Ive read about computer controlled vehicles left some question as to survivability. Weatherer it was running or not, the batt was switched off. Can it be determined with certainty?

Thanks Mr Van Man, would like to here from someone that is limited to 2 full size skids in there sprinter. Guess the recruiters get a phone call.

So, I love how one question leads to another. I am still trying to find the most workable layout for my wife and I in a 170ext. Is your setup normally 3, 48 by 40 skid capable, with out stacking? We are getting closer to pulling the trigger on this thing.

That's why I am wondering how many van loads require more then eight and a half feet of floor space. The weight needs to allow for tipout's, tubs or Jacuzzis, he he. Just from lurking on here it seam's shippers are building more loads to sprinter size and weight with out permit sleeper space...

what,s the lattest on sprinter van loads? Percentage wise for over 1000 pounds and longer then eight and a half foot. Thanks

I will have to say that the duck's are doing well here in the oil Field of Alaska's north slope. Just an observation from my travels and waiting for them to cross the road.

As a lurker/wanabe a big thank you for the info. Bill

So the PA that did my DOT physical tells me that there should not be problem? What can i say, company i work for (oil field) safety and HR has not let me know the results of the stress test i took Monday. The stress test was done buy a RD party work safety outfit. Any body have a problem with...

Thanks Paullud, I found some info on the DOT website. 391.45 is the rule that seam's to cover my condition. Called my Doc that did my last health card, we will see how he interprets the rule. Read that it may be two months before i can get a new card, hope I'm wrong.

Hello everyone, was wondering if there was a requirment to obtain a new health card after a major medical event. I am doing fine, Doc that treated me wasen't concerned. Just dont want to get blind sided down the road. Thanks Bill

One of the things about blowing snow or wet heavy snow is remembering to dry out your brakes. Your running along and something happens up ahead,you've got lott's of room ease on the brakes and nothing, OK more brake pressure still nothing, then brakes start to work but not at the same time...

Could it be that some sprinters look overloaded or tail heavy because the load is not balanced between the axles? I would think a 170ext. with 1,750 lb on the back would be a hand full. How sensitive are they for load placement?
