I should add that my tire dealer is an independent shop. The owner knows how the van is used. He is a very honest and decent person. He once sold me two slightly used (8000 miles) tires off a truck that went to larger tires and wheels. I should have bought all four but only needed two...

The van came from the factory with the alignment problem. At 60,000 my tire dealer re-aligned the front end and put new tires on the rear and the rear tires up front. Front tires now have 112,000 and show even wear. I will be buying new rear tires soon and moving the present rear tires to the...

I'm on my 2nd Chevrolet long wheelbase gasser. I've been very satisfied with both. In the past buying a van was easier. Ford or Chevy? Gas or diesel? Now there is the Sprinter and Areocell bodies. The possibility of the Feds requiring log books for vans could influence one's choice...

I sold my 1998 chev 3500 1 1/2 years ago. It had 340,000 mi. I re- placed the fuel pump once at about 185,000. The altenator and water pump were still original. Rear seals leaked at about 250,000 which forced me to replace original rear brake shoes. Changed tranny fluid and filter twice...

Reading this cooking thread reminded me of a book that came out in the late 70's, MANIFLOD DESTINY. Don't remember the author or if it is still in print. It was a tongue-in-cheek cook book geared for cooking on the open road. Manifolds aren't just for cooking canned beans anymore. Full of...

My hzmat endorsement expires in November. I was wondering if a person has a valid FAST EXPRES card and is still in good standing with both U.S. and Canadian Customs officals could the fingerprinting and background check be waived? I've paid for and gone through the hassle once. Why repeat the...

Terry, I have heard of others using a solenoid and I still don't understand exactly how it works. The wire from your electric window circuit, is that for a switch to open and close the solenoid? If so do you turn this on and off to recharge the deep cycle? What brand of deep cycle do you...
