Back from vacation and going back in service Tuesday. Pre booked from Des Plaines IL to Pulaski VA Tuesday early afternoon. Going to be a short week, need to be home this coming weekend. Next week I think I'll just run short loads until Wednesday, then take the 4 day weekend.
You could always buy a used RV or travel trailer and park it up there. They can be bought cheap and you'll have a bedroom, shower, cooking, heat, a/c and a small living area. I am going to have a 27' Ford E350 RV for sale after the 4th of July weekend.
I'm hoping its not locked up like the one at the Detroit show. Lets hope if its required to stay locked that the folks bringing it in take some pictures of the inside with a tape measure showing some dimensions. Hint Hint
In Council Bluffs IA. Going to the Horse Shoe Casino for a few hours of play time. Hope they have a good buffet. Anyone wants to join me, your always welcome. Then heading to KS for tonight.
But most parts will be the same as the pickup truck engines. They've been around for years. Besides body parts I bet everything is already available from any parts supplier. NAPA, AutoZone, O' Reilly and others. It's only a new body, not a new drive train.
When the new Sprinters come out...
I'm not so sure the "newer" Duramax are nearly as good as the older ones. Had a friend that had a 2011 Duramax and within a year traded it in for a gasser. He didn't like his Duramax. And my local Chevrolet dealer recommended not purchasing the new Duramax.
GM will get the idea finally when they see all the new Ford and Dodge vans hauling all their freight between plants. LOL. I do wish I had the choice between GM and Ford, but its not looking like GM even has any rumors of a new van. Besides, what engine would GM use? They have nothing that...
Back In Fargo again. At the Petro tonight, move to the J in the morning for my free shower. I sure wish TA/Petro would do something for gas vans. I do like them better, but you go where your wanted!
Check eBay. Lots of good deals, just watch the freight charges. Most will ship for free, but some overcharge for shipping. Got my 2,000 watt Honeywell for $375 with free shipping. Runs my 1,500 watt heater or my 12,000 btu a/c.
