    Ford’s Most Advanced Assembly Plant (Rural Brazil)

    Having worked 4 yrs at Toyota up here, that plant seems pretty similar. The only real differences I see is the greater use of robotics (which the Japanese assembly plants don't embrace for some reason), and the slower pace. And yes, 4 yrs. was plenty enough for me. :D

    Best motor for c/v for expediting?

    I kinda like that the Duramax is turned back to 250hp in the vans. Still plenty of torque and I would think that the mild tuning would lend itself well to long life? Posted with my iPhone EO Forum App

    The sweet smell of cooked bearings and belts

    The ac idler pulley on my Express van seized last night with not much warning. A short period of the bearing getting noisier was followed by it seizing up and I limped to a garage last night. Is there anything I should have been on the look out for? I wouldn't think there's any preventive...

    Don't Trust People on Facebook.

    I'd guess that argument goes out the window when that private life is posted on public websites. I don't do Facebook either. No one needs to know what I had for breakfast (btw it was toast and coffee today). Posted with my iPhone EO Forum App

    Penske Truck Leasing

    Thanks chef. I'm not looking to buy right now but that ad caught my eye. Penske and others will be options that I'll now consider.

    Seattle,Wa. and Portland,Or.

    I'd look at a smaller regional carrier that is based in that area if you need/want to be home more often.

    Best motor for c/v for expediting?

    I don't run through mountains much but through the hills of Kentucky and Tennessee with a load on it's fine. I'd like to try a duramax on my next one but the difference in diesel vs gas price is irritating.

    Best motor for c/v for expediting?

    I've got the 4.8l in my 06 Express. It gets 18 mpg at 60-65 mph. Just over 260k on it and the motor hasn't been touched other than routine maintenance.
