I have seen a few of these Aerocell based small trucks done up for U-Haul and Ryder. They are lebeled on the sides "Under 10,000 GVWR" so I guess that answers the question. -Weave-

RE: IH fan Is the fan metal or plastic? If it is the original 1987 metal fan, replace it with the new plastic one, the replacement will be plastic, they are now required by law. The rivited blades of the metal fan have become loose, which causes the chatter. They eventually break free and...

Headlights have been bound to the ignition of motorcycles by DOT regs in the USA since 1978, and are required for street cycles in all states and must be on at all times the bike is ridden on the street. The DRL requirement for cars and trucks was scrapped by the DOT in 2002 as the conclusion...

I've seen a bunch of expediter trucks on ebay. I don't think it's too smart an idea to buy any type of vehicle there sight unseen. I would not want to be contractually obligated to pay for something that someone described as decent that turns out to be a piece of garbage when picked up...

The only Iveco I know of to still exist does so behind the furniture factory where my mom works. It has been used as a storage trailer since its engine seized in 1987:o Perhaps it should go into the "Museum of Modern Mechanical Nightmares." -Weave-

Find a way to put a couple of pallets on the roof, and call it an expediter:D -Weave-

I owned a Hyundai car in the early 90's. Simple equation: Hyundai=Lemon. From what I read a few years ago Bering was started by an American guy who I think used to have something to do with Kenworth. The small trucks were American designed and then Hyundai built them under contract in Korea...

I'm not sure why you are having trouble uploading photos, it's really easy. You just choose the file off your computer where it says "attachment" under the text box, choose the file type and click "upload file." Nothing to it, and it should appear right away in your posting along with your...

RE: Whats the better Truck??? & Why-Opinions/Reaso I have not owned one, but have tested the KW T300, and the Pete 330 is about the same. They have received a lot of praise from their owners, which has gained these two essentially hopped-up class 7 trucks an exceptional reputation. If in good...

Guess you are right about Bering: http://www.fleetowner.com/ar/fleet_bering_shuts_down/index.htm My figuring is along with service/repair issues, the smart Asian truck makers relize they are going to have to spec the trucks with American components if they want to gain any real popularity here...

RE: What does everyone think of this as a back up Looks like it sold quick on e-bay. Probably not so much as a useable truck, but most likely had $4300 of resellable components if parted out. -Weave-

I have to do some refreshing on my knowledge of the global market. I did not know Iveco was Italian, but I do know they were bombs;) Have to say I only base what I post here mainly on applications to expedited trucking or local delivery trucks. I don't know the requirements of a car carrier...

I don't run a van, but I think the age-old answer to this question still safely applies to expediting as far as I see it, and would be the way to go for me if I bought a van- Gas= Chevy Diesel= Ford Sprinter= Dodge:) (Had to throw that in with no meaningful purpose) I totally agree with Tony to...

SpaceGhost58 wrote "If I could disable or disorient someone for a brief moment while being attacked that would give me the upper hand to flee or call the police." That is what my thinking is with the alcohol spray bottle. It would only be, however, for situations where I am in the truck and...

RE: Whats the better Truck??? & Why-Opinions/Reaso All the expedite spec'ed FL70 or 80 cahssis are nearly identical. I think the only difference with the "80" model designation is it could be built with up to full class 8 capacities for axles, gross weight, etc. You might hear some bad things...

I guess I don't know my Hino's:7 Even though Toyota and the other foreign makes have a good reputation for quality, I still don't think I would consider one myself even for local delivery work, at least not at the present. According to my mechanic who works on them along with the domestics...

I have not seen anything like that for sale befrore. Now I see they are wired for a specific engine, so it makes a little more sense to me now. I'll keep on the lookout at any dealerships I go to. That Pete looks like something someone ordered for a specific application with the double...

I made the mention of the BB gun, but did say I wouldn't try to take it over the border. The powerful spray bottle with alcohol is great, as are Maglite aluminum flashlights and large screwdrivers. Simply put if you want a weapon to protect yourself, you have to disguise something common as...

I am looking at some manuals I have for the DDC S50/60 Electronic Controls. I'm sure this is not the module used on the MBE900, but that you mention the idling improves in warmer temperatures you should have the techs look at the ambient air temperature sensor. This is the sensor that makes...

When I saw your first post, I thought the "glider" referred to that wing drivers put on the sleeper roof to divert air over the trailer. OK, I'm not Mr. Pete 359, obviously:D But I have NEVER heard of what you are referring to as a glider ever avaailble anywhere, at least not in my lifetime...
