You must have a newer van...i remember the diesel alt started at over 800 cdn but by the time the van was over 5 years old it dropped to a couple hundred...I always carry a spare, bet you could find a comparable quality for 200...O'Reillys import direct brand shocked me, still have a 400,000...

Am I the only one who drives far enough off the highway to save 30 cents a gallon? Picked up an hour from my house, got another call heading that way for a double, and after sleep a call exactly where I was parked heading back an hour from my house...guess I'm back in action

Just get a sprinter. Had a 2000 lb load and it was the smoothest ride in a truck I've ever had. I prefer the American vans but shippers want what they want...

As always, THANK YOU Turtle

Replaced resistor, blower motor, cleaned contacts, checked all 3 fuseboxes, no blower even on high. Scan tool says short in blower stage 1. Any ideas before I start tearing parts out?

Back on the road, everyone's healthy enough. No runs tho, getting the vans little annoyances taken care of. Question: what does short to ground in blower stage 1 mean? New resistor, new motor, fuses ok, no blower speeds

Got your POD'S? Small claims court. Nothing has changed since the 70's when a carrier couldn't believe he got dragged into court and had to pay my father for a run he took. Be ready to switch companies, you'll get fired

Keep us updated, that's the one in watching. I don't trust the small gas sixes yet

No, I'm fine and so is my 18 year old daughter. unless you consider mentally unstable a problem Things are looking up tho And thanks the votes, it gave me a laugh

I was an idiot before technology

Another positive thought: what other job can you take unlimited time off and just sail back in like nothing happened?

I'll make sure of it, thanks

Sounds good. I'm not able to do financing with 5 mouths to feed, not to mention I hate payments...but if I was single :D

Thank you. But I'm trying to take it all with a dose of humor, whats your vote?:D

So I haven't been posting ( or working much ) need a bit of comedic relief for myself...sorry if I offend anybody, we're all ok and together and that's what matters... My 12 year old got hit by a car last week. Thought she was OK, but seems she definitely has a concussion and possible brain...

I don't think anybody wants to believe it. Saving my pennies for the first, probably a straight if "it" can be my codriver ;)

Researching for a year and you're still going to drop 25k? Can't fault the choice of van, I was looking at a similar one...but 15k Canadian (about 11000) was to high a price to pay Still liking the avg 22 mpg on my sprinter If you have to buy newer maybe that 6.0 will make up for gas mileage...

Looks like a winterish tire, they do that

So a broken wiper arm, I got off easy. Got to watch the races on I696 too, lots of crashes

Why these secretive locations, I get nervous dropping off to a nameless building The address and Google say I'm right
