The cure for the bulb burn out is to buy LL (long life) type bulbs. I've replaced most of mine with them and definitely last longer. In canuck land we have to have the drls running all the time but on the Sprinter all the lights are on while the engine is running. Rob

Never mind that latin stuff, we seem to have enough trouble with english! Rob

It looked like it was picking up as we started being a bit busier. But alas the company and many others have also started to hire again. Well you know what happens then... more trucks = less runs per individual unit again. Oh well.. but yeah seems things are starting to pickup a bit so...

Solar panels do not have to be angled towards the sun to work properly. I had a company that installed them as a customer up north and his favorite thing was to install on a wall of a house so the panels were vertical. This allowed all snow, rain and such to run down and drain off the panel...

In fact that's what I usually do now is buy/source the parts and have my mechanic install. So now I buy the brake parts (original change no aftermarket available here), filters etc where I can for discounted prices and let the mechanic install. Usually have him do 2-3 things at once and a lot...

OVM you're partially right in would it be cheaper to fund healthcare for the uninsured only. Basically you'd have to create a new insurance company with government money backing it and make the people joining pay either user fees and/or small premiums per month. Either way the costs then would...

Of course piper... just imagine them in the back of your truck and you can say whatever you like (offline of course). Rob

Yeah ovm that's canuck. I've actually had quite a few Chrysler supply problems with different parts. Also have had problems with MB doing service on the Sprinter as it has a stupid chrysler serial number so they can't lookup the parts installed by the factory so I see this being a potential...

Count the number of girls in bikinis? Rob

The Transit (full size) has a version with just over 14' of cargo bed so would probably work well for us. The Connect has a longer version available but not here as of yet and Ford initially did not have any plans to bring it in, but was testing the full size Transit for here. One minor...

Unfortunately a census can ask a lot of questions. We have two types called short form and long form. The long form asa you can imagine asks all kinds of things which I think they need not know. This information is utilized in a variety of ways but the best of course is the release of the...

Shutting down the internet within the US borders would be hard but for part of it a possibility. The govt paid for and setup many of the large traffic computer systems so taking those offline to all but military and designated users (read - govt) would not be all that hard. Shutting down int'l...

Normally crazynuff I would agree with your sentiment about poor management. But today that may not be all of it or the actual problem. I have a niece who worked at a store and she was getting a lot of hours. My brother suggested to the manager to hire another body to allow my niece time off...

There was also mention up here of some more work for the Woodstock plant as well. So both plants may see more workers and more calls for us as all related businesses pickup. Rob

But if we proof read then we'd see all our errors. Then people would not be able to comment on what they reed and what you rote! Rob

I think hydrogen would make a nicer bang and flame show! Light a little gunpowder trail behind the buggy and leave a nice smoking trail. Note: make a disclaimer that your not responsible for pavement damage from flames and explosions. Rob

Let's see... guys with 150s instead of 250 or 350, guys with too much gear in the buggy such as large bulkhead, bed, fridge, inverters, extra batteries and the list goes on. Unfortunately not all vans are equal. I agree that most should handle the weight but there are some that won't. Rob

Not actually Greg. I quite often get loads over 2000lbs in my Sprinter as half the vans in our fleet can't handle that weight. The Sprinter can handle it easily and of course we have a few customers who are terrible at weight guessing (yes guessing not actual). So the Sprinter gets sent in and...

A cvor is $250/yr??? Never paid for mine! Website says it's $5 for a replacement if I lose this one. But Quebec does let you run through on a cvor now (supposedly). 4500kg seems to be the weight for all provinces for scaling. This why many of the rentals have 4500kg weight limit on some of...

If they allowed shoulder driving then that would be plugged as well and with an accident as someone tried to get in without enough space or time. Only allow shoulder driving to go around an obstruction but not a vehicle making a turn (except if shoulder is paved). Too many laws as Piper has...
