The Cummins on my old FL70 had 465k miles on it at trade time. It was one of the little disposable B5.9's. Out of ordinary maintenace costs during ownership were a tad under $1000. That to fix a front cover oil leak, replace a starter, and an air conditioner bracket. The thing still ran great...

It is possible she might be on vacation or taking time off this week with the holiday. See if you get any response next Monday. -Weave-

Very sorry to hear of his passing away so young. I did not know him, but I give his wife and children my greatest sympathy. I'm sure he will be sadly missed. -Weave-

Many times e-mail messages don't get through for various reasons. It's not the most trustworthy means of communication. Your best bet is to call the company, and ask that the recruiter or other members of the company call you back. While on the phone with them, ask them why your e-mails...

My personal preference- flat mileage pay because you can't really go wrong with it. Like stated above, unless you are checking up on the company on a regular basis, how do you REALLY know what they are charging to the customer? I 100% believe I was major league ripped off by some companies I...

You are right on with the idea. The 3116 CAT is another throwaway. -Weave-

Aside from just being too small a displacement engine in the opinion of many for the highway, the CAT 3126 has a few more things going against it. As Rich mentioned, it is a parent bore engine that is not rebuildable in the frame of the truck. It costs too much to rebuild out of the truck, so...

Yes, there was a phase a while ago where there were a bunch of those Isuzu, UD, and Mitsubishi cabovers doing expediting work. It faded away very quickly. The cabover design by nature is very bumpy and uncomfortable. The trucks were notoriously underpowered, and just didn't seem to hold out...

Actually, this awesome posting has been on here many times, and we are greatful Louie repeats it on a regular basis! -Weave-

Hi Catfish- Please let me know if you are getting my e-mails requesting your address. Not sure if your e-mail on EO is valid?? Thanks! -Weave- [email protected]

Seriously, NEVER use those things at truckstops. One time I used one that had a small piece of something lodged in it that scratched the hell out of my windshield. I now buy big quantities of 409 or Fantastik at BJ's or Sams, and clean all glass exclusively with this and my own rags. Glass...

Being more of a car based engine, if I owned a Sprinter I would add 100k mile timing chain replacements to my own maintenance schedule. That $500 could be a very small price to pay instead of taking a much more expensive gamble. It will for sure be added to the shop manual maintenance schedule...

The 7400 can be either a class 7 or class 8 truck, depending on how it is sepc'ed. DD's 7400 looks to have the clsss 8 specs and should be considered as such. -Weave-

I have been looking for a cutaway diagram of the engine itself. MB truck diesels in the past have last nearly forever. But I think the Sprinter engine is based on the diesel design for MB 300 series diesel cars, but have yet to find any solid proof. I am almost ready to take a bet on it...

If any type of RWD vehice, regardless of transmission is being towed for any distance greater than 40-50 miles, I recommend dropping the driveshaft. -Weave-
