    NEW Cargo Van O/O, Do not want to be taken advantage of!!

    I think what he meant was that by adding the extra leaf springs and buying the 1500 he got the standard 4.3 V-6 instead of one of the V8s and increased his load capacity slightly. When I bought my 2004, only the 3500 came with the heavy duty transmission as standard. It was an option on the...

    NEW Cargo Van O/O, Do not want to be taken advantage of!!

    Compared to the 3500, both axles on the 1500 have a much lower weight rating. The front rotors are smaller and the tires are smaller, P225/75R-16 compared to 10 ply LT245/75R-16E on the 3500. There is more to a 3500 than just heavier springs.

    NEW Cargo Van O/O, Do not want to be taken advantage of!!

    Keep researching and try to figure out which carrier is the best fit for you. If you want specific answers, ask specific questions. E.O. members can give you good information about different carriers if you ask the right questions. Can you share some info about the van you bought?

    Westmicher's New XLT 10 Project Begins!

    Just thought of a few more questions. Will you be insulating the box? If so, what type of insulation? Sprayed, rigid...? Will you insulate the floor?

    Westmicher's New XLT 10 Project Begins!

    It looks like you removed the E-Track from the side walls to accommodate the wheel boxes and generator box. Will you be incorporating E-Track into the floor? Also is the box for the generator strictly for storage or will it be open enough to run the generator while housed in the box? Very...

    FMCSA New Initiative to Validate Driver Medical Cards

    I wouldn't get to bent out of shape over this. Most reasonably healthy people can live without a spleen or with only one lung or kidney. If you wake up without a heart, it's probably too late to worry. Keep your doors locked at night and wear a Kevlar vest to bed and you will be safe from...

    FMCSA New Initiative to Validate Driver Medical Cards

    This new initiative by the FMCSA to verify a driver's Medical Examiner's Certificate gives law enforcement officers access to way too much personal information. A LEO could call the examiner's office to confirm the validity of the Medical Card. Once confirmed, the LEO could logically conclude...

    FMCSA New Initiative to Validate Driver Medical Cards

    The only real or imagined problem I see with verifying a driver's Medical Examiner's Certificate is if some scale cop on the west coast wants to verify your medical card at 15:05 P.S.T. and your doctor is in the eastern time zone.

    Report 5-hour energy drinks linked to several deaths

    I rarely use 5 Hour Energy Drinks. If a hand full of White Crosses and some Benzedrine doesn't kick start me, well then its time to slip into my 100% organic hemp jammies and go to bed and dream about tabletop fusion in reverse at 3X speed. No wonder I always wake up tired.

    Hunter dies in van

    My post did seem a bit Mongeresque now that you mention it. I just thought the use of the word "already" dead sounded funny. It should have read: The 54-year-old Zeeland man was found dead around 08:30 a.m.

    Hunter dies in van

    Is it just me or do others think the word "already" in front of the word "dead" sounds like the prelude to a denial? I can see the sheriff's department spokesperson: "Yeah, he was already dead when we got there, stone cold dead. We never laid a hand on him, honest. He was deader than a dang...

    How many HATE this?

    Expedite is a cakewalk. I'm with Xiggy on the 99% thing. Most shippers/receivers are happy to see me or at the very least, neutral. The other 1%, are a minor annoyance. If you really truly want to feel what it is like to be invisible, spend some time in a grocery warehouse. Once they do...

    Obama administration determined to stop Petraeus testimony on Benghazi attack.

    I think with Clinton it was the other way around.

    20 states have filed petitions to secede

    That may be true but one sure couldn't reach that conclusion from reading this forum. Does this mean that the lazy 46% will get off their couch and go vote if their state has a secession vote? If they do vote will it be a pro-secession vote?

    20 states have filed petitions to secede

    I agree and think that would be the case with all states. Obama won the Electoral College vote and the popular vote. Even Red States would be hard pressed to find enough kooks to carry a majority on a secession vote. For those who are that unhappy with the recent presidential election...

    Need to replace fuel pump in a chevy express van

    Are you absolutely sure you need to replace the fuel pump? You're right, its not that old. Not only shouldn't the tank straps be "too seized", but the fuel pumpl should not have failed this soon. I'd have a chat with the service manager at your local Chevy dealership. Then, if necessary...

    Thank you veterans for your service to our country! I spent the day with my father in-law, a WW II Navy Corpsman who was stationed in the South Pacific.

    A tip of the hat to all Americans

    Cast aside your short sightedness and hatred brother and practice what you preach. Open your eyes, mind and soul to the Lord. Read, comprehend and live the simple truths presented in the following message by Pastor Al: If you are a genuine believer and follower of Jesus Christ, the question...

    van question

    It is a cost. If you had a gasser like I do, you could just buy gasoline at BP like I do. Their gas comes with Invigorate. With Invigorate coming straight from the pump I don't need no stinkin' additives. Invigorate has changed my life. Since using Invigorate I think my hair has started...
