    Sprinter van, I am so confused!

    as in the past the supply line will get better..and the parts will get a bit cheaper as the knock-off parts will start appearing.. Hobo...once your warranty is up, you can add at least 30k to that filter... Everyone tries to copy the sprinter but they all come up short in 1 way or another...

    Yes sir...a lot out west have #1 as well.but that is like .20 more expensive.. Even the QT's are cheaper and have truck fueling... For you straights you could save 30-40 bucks a fill and buy your 10 buck shower..

    Last time Diesel chased $5.00, did it impact the number of loads you delivered?

    keep in mind if your straight only gets 7 mpg that is on YOU...no one is going to pay more FSC because you drive a fuel guzzler....same for vans....if you only get 13 mpg tough luck...the formula is based on 15 mpg....it is NOT to pay 100% of fuel either....just a portion.

    mexican trucks in america are a fact.

    A lot of parts are made in Mexico that come across to US and Can assembly plants...IF they reduce the cost of them parts....we can export more and compete worldwide...and maybe create some jobs....This is a big world..we can not isolate ourselves and be just a country of consumers like we are...

    Then don't be chicken sh!t....go to Mexico...is there any more danger then going to NYC or Detroit? Most of the plants in Mexico are right off the expressway...it is not like you are out in the middle of no where... If Pedro runs cheap that won't last long....his truck will need repairs...
