    >Somebody posted a picture of a Sprinter with a hitch >receiver mounted on front. The receiver held a hitch mount >cargo carrier, which in turn held the generator. Having the >generator up front and out of the way seems like a good >idea. Except when you hit something, BOOM!!!

    Aux Generator Questions

    1) Any one have an alternator rebuilt? Yes I have several times, no biggie. Did the Delcos and Chryslers myself and the fords I had a company do. What is the common cause? Usually it is the diodes that will fail, the second thing is the brushes but with internal regulated ones, the regulator...

    Adding Cruise Control to GM van

    Hey if you are really a parts hunter, go to http://www.car-part.com/ and look for used parts. Shhhhh...... Don't tell anyone about that site, it is a real money maker for me.

    House Bill to Redefine Commercial Vehicle

    I think instead of changing the definitions, just exempt them on the state level instead with some sort of colalition. They did it for the non-profits so why not for the farmer too.

    Portable Generator choices for Van...

    Well let's see, if the generator is rated at 2000 watts, I think that the surge capability may be 2200 watts. So 2000 watts at 115 volts is roughly 17 amps - 2000/115 = 17.xxxxxx(you know that bad formula, Ohms Law?)

    Mexican Expedite Van?

    What's new about that? I seen a couple of them on Bagley shopping, just down the street from the Bridge in Detroit and then heading across the border. They must get away with something with a van load of food going to Canada.

    Adding Cruise Control to GM van

    Was that for your '99? - yes Was it a GMC dealer? - No it was a Chevrolet dealer but any GM dealer should be able to help. I think you live in Mich. also, was the dealer in Mich.? - Yes, it was Rinke Chevrolet in Center Line. One note, I have a diesel, which means it is a drive by wire...

    freightliner condensers

    Well it is good that you get the puppy out of the heat. I would still suggest what you watch how you shut the hood or stay away from gravel trains. Good luck with the new truck.

    OVM, Many of these A/C units run between 5 and 7 amps but as high as 20 amps surge on start up depending on the manufacture.

    8 days and no run

    RE: RICH-M Sorry guys but after a while this gets tiring. I got to say between this and the Canada stuff, I think people need to understand that if it is up to the company, be it panther or FedEx or whom ever, we would be running our a**es off and everyone would be rich. We are in a...

    freightliner condensers

    Well first thing that comes to mind is that there is something wrong with the truck then the people who work on it. If anyone tells me that it happens more than once unless the truck is consitently abused, I would say that the people who work on it do such a cheap job or the owners don't want to...

    NASA, we really need to get it together....

    letzrockexpress, yep sure am on a roll. nothing to do but sit here and write, so I am writing. Yea I know that the Hubble will be arriving here one way or another but it would be really worth the trip home properly, if for nothing else as a display to show us what it was all about. Oh, I read...

    Tanker explosion closes I580 at Bay Bridge

    Glad the driver is alright and in a burn center but I am reading the follow up report and this comment really makes one think; ""It looked like a big slab of plastic because it was melted. It's made of steel and concrete, and it was bent at both angles of the pillar. It really looked fake." Ok...

    NASA, we really need to get it together....

    ...and clean house or close the doors. This place has become a good ol boys club, worst than any corperation can ever be. I can’t believe that we gave the Russians a billion dollars to ship things to the “International Space Station†when we should be able to provide transportation to...

    Notice to all B-units!!

    Not to doubt you but I am wondering what companies are doing this. When I was in the van, I had one problem with Ford and told them - no problem, I will return the freight. I got unloaded.

    Sheryl Crow's touring requirements...

    OK I think you answered your own question if you combine your two statements together. There is a big difference between the two ideals. “do as I say, not as I do†seems to be a mantra for the left leaning crowd. I feel, like many others, that the government is not the solution for anything...

    Sheryl Crow's touring requirements...

    Letzrockexpress said â€From all the accounts I have read she was joking...but just in case she wasn't, why is it so rediculous that she is concerned about the environment? There isn't one of us on our own who can solve even one global environmental issue. The best we can hope for is to bring an...
