    Buying used PM with 330k miles?

    Electric radiator fans cannot take idling... even with no idling the bearings go bad, about $1,000 IF YOU CAN GET A NEW FAN SET BECAUSE THEY ARE, ALMOST ALWAYS, OUT OF REPAIR PARTS! Radiators leak between the metal radiator and plastic tank... dissimilar materials expand differently and cause...

    Buying used PM with 330k miles?

    Never buy a diesel Promaster... they are constantly going down and dealers are not experienced enough to fix them. Gas versions are, unfortunately, all prone to the same issues. Chrysler knows about them but does not re-engineer them, except for the failure prone rocker arm needle bearings...

    Buying used PM with 330k miles?

    I can tell you from experience (I own a herd of Promasters) that they have several major engineering deficiencies that any of them could (actually, WILL) fail and cost you between $2,000 to $6,000, depending on where you are when the failure occurs. If you dont have at least $6,000 CASH in...

    Can i screw into the floor of promaster in the front floor?

    That won't work. Even with the switch off, the computer must see the resistance or the malfunction light will remain lit. Sent from my SM-G955U using EO Forums mobile app

    Can i screw into the floor of promaster in the front floor?

    Actually, no. We have had a great deal of experience with these. The connection requires a very specific resistance.. it is NOT a normally open or normally closed circuit. The resistance is needed so the computer knows there is still a good firing circuit in the air bag. We have not ever had any...

    Can i screw into the floor of promaster in the front floor?

    Only one way to find out for sure... Chrysler won't tell us. I suspect all the other bags would fire, but don't bet your life on it! Sent from my SM-N900V using EO Forums mobile app

    The latest new Load One custom

    Our drivers watch the all miles rate for these trucks! While we carried less 4-6 skid loads in the beginning, it seems dispatch is learning to use these truck's advantages more as we go... I'm sure it is a learning curve. While the fuel economy isn't equal to our Promasters, it is more than...

    Frito Lay Sprinter - Is this a 16 or 18 ft box?

    Just my 2 cents worth but if I was the guy buying vans to haul potato chips (which are MUCH LIGHTER than expedite freight!) I wouldn't be so concerned with the box weight. My main concern would be keeping the unit cost down on the largest commercially made box I could find... I'm sure this van...

    Dave Ramsey wouldn't know how to run an expedite company. We pay for all our materials within 30 days. My wife and Load One think I'm an alright guy... that's good enough for me... I can't please everybody! Sent from my SM-N900V using EO Forums mobile app

    A team just won't fit... not really even close. We have to have a lot more than just a bigger mattress for a team... a lot more room for personal gear, food, etc. We went the other way, removing the passenger seat to make room to move the refrigerator and microwave out of the bunk area to make...

    2019 Sprinter prices staying same, going up or down?

    I hate it when I ask a specific question and responses do not answer the specific question! So here's mine... forget the $printer, go buy a guitar and form a rock band, get drunk every night and chase groupies! Does that answer your question? Sent from my SM-G955U using EO Forums mobile app

    Frankly anyone else is going to have a devil of a time building a van like this and still keeping it to a reasonable empty weight. It took real engineering and analysis to make this van light enough but still strong enough to withstand the rigors of years on the road. There are also dozens of...
