RE: Got Ripped off and do not want the same to hap All the times I spent time in the north hinter land aka Canada), I always sent in my vat/gst refund paper work. the duty free shop by the bridge in Detroit is privatly owned, or was a while ago. I worked with the owners son and learn a bunch...

I am wondering what ever happened to D-C's polcy that thier five star dealers need to be competive with other service centers? $110? do they go to Germany for the filter and oil?

Whiterabbit The test is really not too bad; I was totally unprepared for it and had to take it twice but I did pass. The second test had 40% of the same questions that were on the first test. I don’t think the pool questions are large to begin with. I would highly recommend you read the...

Whoa, wait a minute If you want to know what vehicle you can take your test in, ask your DMV. Different states and different testing facilities have different requirements and I know I can not take a test in a car in my state. Same with the hazmat endorsement, check with the state. I don’t...

simon says Don’t mean to yank your chain but you don’t know what you’re talking about. First I never saw or remember anyone dancing in the streets when Nixon resigned. Even the stupid hippies (war protestors, Free love, etc..) I knew weren’t dancing about it but rather stunned by it. I...

Thanks for the response. I am trying to find an email address for the company to propose a test to find out what, if at all the advantages of AirTabs have with the popular types of trucks we use, Cargo vans, Sprinters, Class 7 straight trucks and Class 8 straight trucks (using some of our own...

BigDiesel The problem as to do with idling the sprinter for any period of time. The EGR valve gets clogged with the carbon from the un-burnt fuel. This problem was supposed to be solved in the 2005 model but I have heard people with 2005s still having the problem. This truck was designed for the...

Ok I been meaning to ask, who uses airtabs? I was in Chicago a couple weeks ago and I saw several trucks and trailers with Airtabs. Every one of these trucks was Canadian, which makes me think that they know something that we in the states don’t. Well anyway, I am thinking about getting...

you can have a decent sleeper bunk behind the seats, up to 50 inches seem to be the norm. But some have used the entire cargo area with a drop down bed or an air mattrest as a sleeping area becuase the width of the sleeper is around 64 inches and not enough room to streach out. I have seen one...

I heard that Delphi may file sometime next week and that they may go the same route as ford/vistion. It depends on the Frankfort Autoshow and if anything comes out of it for them. The plan is to close 4 plants, shift the manufacturing to Mexico or outsource to Nipodenso or a couple of other...

RE: Truth in the eyes of the beholder... It is sad that this person is viewed as committing a crime but this disaster is odd by blaming someone who really did something. But speaking about buses in New Orleans, I heard something that almost ran me off the road (something really really sad)...

Once upon a time we in Detroit used to go across the bridge, get some supper and fill our gas tank. At that time gas was $1.63/gal in the states and $1.23 in Canada. It was not a dream.
