    Cargo Van Manual Transmissions

    I enjoy the manual transmissions in performance cars. For the traffic we encounter daily, I'll stay automatic in my van.

Going next year for 10 days, first time taking my wife. Things will be different with her along. No Glenco late night parade, more riding and sight...

    My blown engine story.

    Update on my blown 4.8 GM engine. As you can see in the pictures, the valve train is very clean. The oil pickup screen is very clean. But in the engine picture you can see a good connecting rod and a good shiny wrist pin. But no piston attached. The piston in cylinder #4 is completely broken off...

    2014 Dodge ProMaster 3500 3.0 I-4 Diesel vs 2015 Ford Transit 350 I-5 3.2 Diesel

    It just amazes me that when the ProMaster came out last year, people ran to their dealers and bought hundreds of them for expediting. New, unproven in the US, built in Mexico and imported here. But everyone is afraid of the Ford Transit!!!!! Built near Kansas City, the only US built long/tall...
