    Regrooving Tires

    BUT ... you will find no, or few, commercial operations that will regroove them anymore. A lot of private shops, like metro bus, etc will do their own. The tire shops now tell me "regroovable" means to them "retreadable" :confused:

    With a 170" extended, you should be able to do a 30" sleeper behind the seats, and still have 12' of cargo space.

    Sprinter 2500 vs 3500

    First of all. lets clear something up, once and for all. The 3500 VAN comes in two configurations, both the 11,030 and the 9900 pound weight. Second, taking the van to people that know what they are doing, (such as Devers Truck in Trotwood, Ohio), can allow for a 4" rasied floor, made of...

    cedar rapids iowa automated speed enforcement?

    $75.00 ? Pay the darn thing, get it cleared. When it gets close to time for you submit your yearly record of violations, go to the BMV, see if it is listed. If not, forget about notifying the carrier of anything. For $75.00, I would not put myself through the hassle. Oh, and slow down!

    Chef Dennis's New CargoMax

    I'm not disputing ya Dennis, I was just going what I found. I'll do some more checking on the other brand. And I like the Midway .... heavy as it is. If I get the 3500, I will have the sleeper built the way I wish ... that steel channel they use for the bunk is truly too heavy!
