Settled on 3800 :D, picking it up tomorrow during a snowstorm - should make the 30 MPH top speed a little more believable in Toronto traffic - wish me luck it's 90 miles away

Forgot to add: keep your old trucks till this settled out, just found out insurance is based on your purchase price here - saving 600 a month over what other drivers pay for 2 million liability...that and no monthly payments sure makes life easier...carriers that require 5 years or newer, don't...

I gave up worrying about rates in 2008. Had a dedicated run that got cut over 20 percent, and had to either accept it or quit. Cut my costs beyond what anybody would consider sane. Fast forward to now, I'm on the open road (route got undercut so far the carrier wasn't willing to accept it) I...

Thanks Turtle...Fords and dodges I had lighted up the dash, and I always wondered about the airbags...

Sprinter conversions Found this buried in our own forums I think I could copy that...

No runs today so I answered myself...maybe a fold down bunk? Please post a link to a do it yourself thread if you know any, or link to US or Canadian manufacturer this is UK

Ever since my Ford E-350 Alumibunk I've gotten used to a 24" sleeper - the small size allowed me to sleep as cold as -44 F without supplemental heat or idling...and as hot as 103 F with a fantastic fan cut into the door blowing at my toes. Has anyone attempted putting a board over the seats and...

Thanks! I'll consider this thread answered

Does anyone know if this would disable the airbags? I like space but i like my life more

Maybe I can mortgage my sprinter? :)

Update: not rusty underneath, runs and drives, book value 12 000 here, goin for it! Thanks for all the suggestions!

:confused2: If you saw what I'm driving now you'd agree it's an improvement

Whoa thank you...that was not even on my radar...going to look tomorrow, i'll definitely crawl around under there!

Thanks...amounts to a deal for a long and tall where I live...even 2001 and up former Fedex/DHL are in the 10000 dollar range...guess i"ll take my chances

That where I got the idea from, I was hoping for confirmation that's all it COULD be...

About to buy 2005 long and tall sprinter, under 200000 miles, price 4000 (thats 2900 to all you Americans) Transmission has only reverse and 2nd gear...am i correct in guessing TCM wiring / control unit in trans? Has anyone had this exact problem? I'm comfortable playing with transmissions...

That's great mileage! I put a million miles on a 7.3 diesel ford at 21 mpg, didn't care if loaded either, just speed...unfortunately can't find an Aerocell CW around here so i'm looking at a rusty sprinter with trans stuck in limp mode...turned down yet another good paying load yesterday 15...

Thanks guys, I'm a little more reassured, sounds like pretty standard stuff I'm capable of fixing so far

You got my budget right on :D only was looking at Aerocell for mileage not "box" cubes, and canadian due to import hassles...my current delusion is an 05 Sprinter, 150000 miles for $4000 (comes with 2nd gear only and decorative brown spots)

Good to know, I'm only getting 100k out of them in my Dodge Ram van...everything has to come off the front of motor, it sucks
