    Question about Nextel

    This is one of those things where people are going to have vastly different experiences. I haven't used the walkie talkie feature much. But as far as Nextel as a whole, I'm actually suprised when the phone rings in my own home. I live in a fairly populated city, so I'm not out in the...

    Decal Removel

    This is pretty much what I wrote from another post. IMO a blow dryer is by far the best way to go about it. Prolly wouldn't hurt to have a spatula, but I just used my fingers. Anyway, what I wrote to another person who asked this was: The absolute BEST way to remove it is w/ a hair dryer...

    Removing signs

    I responded b4 I read the other answers. I see where a rubber tool is recommended. That might not be a bad idea. All I used was a hair dryer & my fingers. It gets a lil hot, but nothing unbearable. Again, just heat the corner, let it bubble up a lil. Then slowly start peeling away keeping...

    Removing signs

    Heya Cheri, The absolute BEST way to remove it is w/ a hair dryer. Put it on hot & start at the corner of a sticker. It'll kind of just come up as you'll see. If it's done right that'll be all ya need. Ya may want to get an adhesive remover in case there's little snippets of glue left over...

    Canada Problems entering Canada?

    Hiya, For starters I'm generally one who doesn't care to go into Canada. The reason for this is that it's coming back to the US that's such a pain in the wazoo. A few times I've been held up at the border for long periods of time. Sometimes it's a few hours & one time I almost had to spend a...

    Possible Solution to staying cool

    This is a little solar powered cooling unit. It's supposed to keep your vehicle cool when it's been sitting in the hot sun. I haven't ordered this product so I don't know if it works or not. For $10 it seems like it might be worth a try. I saw an ad on it during a tv show & thought this might...

    Miles Per Gallon (From Mileater)

    Mileater asked: I have heard the GMC 16' cube can get 14 MPG loaded. It would be nice to see some comparison MPG for the different sizes. Like a 12' compared to a 16'. Also what a standard GMC 2500 MPG would be when loaded and when empty. If I can keep it mostly on the highway & not a lot of...

    RE: GMC 3500 with 16' Box or a Sprinter, which is I pretty much agree w/ Ronandpam's post. I thought I'd get great savings, & I did w/ the fuel but it got eaten up in other areas. As for your own van, are you intending to sleep in it? If so getting the extended van might be the way to go...
