If any of you out there still have your trucks registered in OK, better read this- It is no more unless you live there or your company has an establishment there. I still see a lot of trucks with OK plates, and have a funny feeling a lot of guys are going to be crying in a couple of months when...

We weren't passing judgement on you whatsoever. But, you can go to many places online and check the status of your credit for a small fee if you are wondering if or why it's bad. Now, when the finance company came and took the truck, did they tell you all was well and good with the debt left...

RE: Boys.. toys.. etc.(BIKE PIC for WEAVE) The picture stirred up my memory- it was a similar bike to the Yamaha 650 Special. Your 2 into one exhaust is an aftermarket add-on, the original KZ750B had a Sankei chrome 2 into 2 with collector, much like this one for sale on e-bay now. The...

First off, Chicago is an excellent spot to expedite out of. $2k isn't going to get you into a straight truck with all the other expenses associated with one. It would be a good down payment on a new van though, so I would go that route to start. Talk to the expediting companies on this site...

Weave, also my handle, came from a night of heavy drinking with my best friend near Syracuse University about 12 years ago;-) The bar was having a contest that night to break the all time record sales of OV splits in one night. As my friend (Kevin) and I staggered to the bar, the bartender...

Since all legal radios put out the same 4 watts, the antenna really makes the radio. Invest in a decent antenna and cable setup over a fancy radio. I use a Cobra 25 NW WX ST, many times on sale for under $115 at many truckstops. It's a nice little radio with a lot of features without going...

If the actual GVWR rating of the vehicle is over 10k lbs, you will have to log regardless of what the unit is weighing in at loaded. Over 10k gross classes it as a commercial vehicle. -Weave-

Just about every brake drum I have seen on cars and trucks alike has a balancing weight attached to it on the outside. As the drum gets old and rusts up/deteriorates, the weight can fall off. Many driveshafts have balancing weights also where the same thing can happen. -Weave-

Just pray the van isn't a lemon. Sounds corny, but when a vehicle starts out with problems, they usually don't stop. The last Freightliner FL70 my father had was one- I don't think there was a single part on that truck he DIDN'T replace in the three years he owned it. About 10 years ago I...

I have to totally agree with Tony on this one. It does not look good when you default on a loan and $6400 on top of it. I feel for you, but unfortuneately lenders won't. -Weave-

Thare are many cubes out there outfitted like this, guy at C&M has a few, and they are under 10k gross. From what I remember he said they work just fine, but for some reason don't really make any more money than a standard cargo van. Just more comfort for the driver I guess. -Weave-

IF those stories are true, I hope the engines were under warranty. I would just LOVE to know what a replacement Sprinter engine costs. -Weave-

RE: Boy with most toys wins! The CX Vee twins were awesome bikes for their time- liquid cooled, shaft drive, and over 110 MPH top speed, with decent acceleration. They have come to be one of Honda's longest lasting cycles, many of the 20+ year old machines are still going. I have never heard...

Unicells have had one inherant problem with them- they are very lightweight. So much so that trucks equipped with them that are empty like to "blow away" and have difficulty keeping traction on wet roads and snow. An empty Unicell van is going to handle very much like an empty 2WD pickup truck...

I came up with a better idea when I engineered my system: Why is Rich showing as an unregistered user? What is the little "G" by his name? Has he reached God status on EO:D -Weave-

Read through the van postings on this forum- there is quite a bit of Sprinter info here:) -Weave-

It is the Aerocell SRW by Unicell. It is a fiberglas van body. They build Unicell bodies in Buffalo, NY and elsewhere. You can already order an Aerocell from your Ford, Chevy or GMC dealer. www.unicell.com Looks good!

That is some great info!! Always wondered what that thing was sticking out of golfer's back pockets! Kind of reminds me of the "Big Fat Greek Wedding" movie where the father tells everyone to put some Windex on whatever might be ailing them! -Weave-

Boy with most toys wins! I always find it interesting to know things that other truck drivers do aside from trucking. As some know I am an avid motorcyclist and enjoy old cars and bikes. I restored this 1981 Honda CX500 this summer. I do many technical postings on www.cx500.gobinet.se/ a...
