I'm told that the floor length is only 14' long, the GVW is 12,300 dual wheel and the single wheel conversion is rated 10,000 GVW. This is 3 skids, not 4 skids. I'm told 14,200 GVW is not currently available.

So a lot of the potential loads could be straight truck class, and straight truck pay!

I guess that I should have put a little more definition in here. Please consider that such a vehicle probably would be more of interest to teams and then logging is much, much less of an issue. Yes, either the dually Chevy (14,200 GVW) or Ford (14,500) chassis would be the target. The...

If they a larger Sprinter type van that was VERY aerodynamic, 6,500 cargo capacity, 210" long inside (4 skids deep), and 86" tall inside (2 high), gas powered Ford or Chevy drivetrain for about $45,000, would you be interested? We would. What say you?

If "reaching for" a cell phone is illegal, then reaching for anything should be illegal as well. No more coffee, soda water, snacks, food, cigarettes, maps, GPS, or significant others, unless you're out of the driver's seat! Great idea . . . NOT!

Actually, a newer Sprinter CAN easily fit 3 skids end-to-end and still have room for one or two (stacked) beds. We've team in our 2006 3500 for several years and just ordered a new 3500 Extended Sprinter. We will enjoy going wherever we want (like we do now). BOTH revenue and expenses are...

Oops! Did I misread your post? I think you said I can use the mileage rate as long as I have it?

Frank, I've owned my van for 5 years now, only the last 2 years as expediting. However, I had some business use the entire 5 years. BUT, I do not want to get another van just yet (it's not used up). Can I sell it to someone and then lease it back to start a new "mileage clock" (to claim...

Both Pete and Kurt at K&M Dodge in Grand Rapids, MI are excellent Sprinter techs.

Yeah, it's about having a truck that looks a bit nicer. We've had no problems like bent wheels and such. We have an aluminum wheel spare too, just in case. Plus the biggest reason was to change from the TINY 15" wheels stock on our 2006 to the 16" wheels. They just look more proper. And the...

Well, as far as our six-wheeler is concerned we have real, spun aluminum wheels - no cheap covers . . . made by Alcoa, just like the big trucks. They fit both 2002-6 and 2007-up with the right lug nuts. Maybe they have a wheel with the right offset for the 2500 as well?

1,600 lbs in a Sprinter should provide a near-perfect ride. We'd gladly take in in our Sprinter too! Oh well . . . the customer is always right.

I'll sure that this must have been answered somewhere but are Mexican trucks allowed to bring fully fueled trucks over the border, thereby paying far less in fuel costs and no taxes, especially road taxes?

The way it looks, I think my mechanic is going to pull the frigging engine to change it. . . :mad:

What did you have to pay to get your Sprinter water pump replaced? They say it requires the whole front end to come apart, from the grill back. Maybe 20 hours?

Oh boy! Just when things seemed to be working pretty well. Dang! Fasten your seatbelts, here come the new ideas! :eek:

No, here's how it actually worked; 1. The guy asked for a credit repair service. 2. A million people chimed in telling him they were scams. 3. I added that at least one credit repair service worked. 4. I was informed I committed fraud by several "experts". 5. I've not been arrested...

Well, when you get appointed as my supervisor in life (The Boss of Me) I'll respond to your personal inquiries about my past activities. Until that happens, I suggest you contact your law enforcement folks and tell them that I've committed a fraud and that I should be arrested, prosecuted...

Wow! You guys are on a rant here! Tell the feds where I am. Tell 'em to come get me! Obviously there's a difference between your version and what actually happens. As I said, you CAN get your credit score improved by methods allowed, and prescribed, by law. I did it and so have many...

And we're gonna put the cuffs on you log book liars too. But then again, after all this, will there be anyone left to post on the site???? :eek:
