    Cargo Van check engine light/ Transit

    I'm getting that rumble also. Mine only does it at about 50-55 with really light throttle and mostly after running through a mountainous area for a lot of miles. Head tech at my dealer said its the torque converter. He's been seeing it often on Transits. Recommended doing a transmission flush...

    Cargo Van check engine light/ Transit

    Often just clearing the code, it may never come back on. Sometimes it's just a strange set of circumstances that triggered it. Either way, it should allow you to continue your journey.

    Cargo Van check engine light/ Transit

    First thing I'd do is have the code read at a different auto parts store. If they showed the same O2 sensor, I'd buy it and install it. Then clear the code and give it a chance. You know that you can buy your own code reader at Harbor Freight for $40. And Walmart has a code reader for about $20...

    And it's July folks!

    Welcome back. After 2 weeks off myself, started last Tuesday. Did a WI to NY. Then a NY to Orlando FL. Then a Tampa to a little bit south of Atlanta on I-75. Not a bunch of loads but easily made my earnings goals for the week.

    Cargo Van generator

    If you have the longest Transit body length there is room between the axle and the spare tire. Service is actually easy. The front of the generator, which is actually facing rearward, the complete front side comes off with 2 quarter turn screws. I can check, drain and fill the oil easily and...

    June idle chit chat and banter and freight hauling

    I worked a deal with my local oil change shop. For $10 they'll drain and install the oil I supply. But they'll only do it on Sunday mornings before they get busy. I've had mine for over a year now, it only has 255 hours on it. I've had it changed twice. The 2,800 has no oil filter, drain from...

    June idle chit chat and banter and freight hauling

    They make a kit to hang an Onan underneath a Sprinter. Lots of Sprinter RV's have them. But a 2,800 watt Onan is $2,600 plus the mounts and installation. But, push the button, wait 60 seconds and power up your rooftop AC. And they use the house battery for starting.

    Trying to find insurance for my cargo van. Can anyone help me please!!!!

    I have Berkshire Hathaway insurance going through CIS. It was thousands less cost per year. It's worth having them at least quote your renewal policy.

    Trying to find insurance for my cargo van. Can anyone help me please!!!!

    That's very high! Your either really young or have a bad driving record or both. I'm using Berkshire Hathaway purchased through CSI and it's less then a third of what you were quoted. I'm only insuring one newer cargo van.

    Ford transit question

    Yup, add in the weight of the extra wheels and tires and the weight capacity gain is almost nothing.
