I have time, but it won't last forever

Yep, 1 or 2 years, he has gone to promaster / transit as fast as he can. MB indifference to the problem spurred it on. The Transit diesels has been cracked, affording me the chance to temporarily turn off the offending emissions at least, since I plan to run legal... I think the Promaster has...

Test drove one and to my surprise it wasn't horrible - actually kind of nifty The MPG is better than even the 4 cyl sprinter, (highly scientific forum reading test method) and I don't have to try and crack the ECU in case of emissions snafu Course I'll change my mind again tomorrow

Charity's van aside, who's running a diesel with lots of miles? I like the proven 4 cyl and the manumatic, I dislike the flywheel problems, and dodge emissions bits... There's always a Transit diesel to fall back on, but I don't need a higher roof than the door opening... Unfortunately I can't...

Just figured that out. Promaster 70, transit 74 in the highest versions

Somebody slap me, I've been looking at Promasters (and transits)

Crap they were 20 cents cheaper last time South, there goes competition Wife out of hospital and reasonably good to go, thinking of going back in service tomorrow over Thanksgiving...(no kidney failure yet just stones + everything else wrong with her) So...if I get offered a GA run, is it over...

WAIT! I have a 2005 Sprinter 2500, fresh paint, just over 200,000 miles and I'll let it go for 10,000!!! I'll even deliver it :D

Wife has kidney stones, or kidney failure (yes we've been warned) sitting in my front porch contemplating the loads that went by...take a long one for me

I knew someone that shared a run with me that's had one... They're amazing vehicles for what they are. I don't think they're an over the road type vehicle. He thought the same as you, fit a skid and tiny vehicle, good mileage So..with a height of 49 and a width of 48 right there you're missing...

Winner! You've done your research, and you'll like it, I'm way too hung up on MPG cause I could count on my former company to send me out and leave me to deadhead back. In my experience, a vapor barrier taped in with that red stuff causes the condensation where you can see it, and it's from...

See my screen name. The only benefit was getting some of my hold back early, don't need it now :D

I guess I run for one company only again, old company wanted too know where I was, and informed me that the fuel card would be stopped after 3 weeks :D

Correct, although it has a very troublesome EGR valve which throws it into limp mode, as well as a few transmission and intake system gotchas

I paid 2900 US for a 2005 with 180,000 miles. It was broken, but I fixed it. For the flak you get with a carrier driving an old van, its overpriced. Great van if you learn it, only a few trouble spots...search in here if you want to know them...would I buy it? nope

The differences can sometimes be important o_O

An NV 2500? You must have got a deal...it won't break down much, but aren't they hard on gas? If you get in sprayed foam, make sure they know what they're doing, don't use the diy kit...I ve heard of it turning to dust with vibration you don't want too breathe that stuff in, and spraying it is...

Always, along with podcasts and whatever else my phone is doing behind my back...it reroutes based in traffic, although I wish it would give more time on "found a faster route" option I miss it half the time

Yes. Not much, but I've got unlimited North America so I don't care...WIND isn't in the US so I've got no advice here

Just went thru in the rainy middle of the night. Top of every hill, wind tries to grab in a new way and it feels like the back end wants to come out So I think I have to discuss weekends off with the wife...turned down more miles than I drove this week, including over 2000 to AZ
