Michelin only for me on every vehicle.

It It shorter. Depending on setup, it could have a very LONG wheelbase and in some situations may be a bit tricker to get in spots, no bending, LOL. Also watch the tail swing, could be many feet behind the drives pivot point, otherwise all the rest is pretty similar including large blind spots.

Hope you get loaded ASAP, or delay your departure, no stopping the 14 without taking 10 off.

Well, I don't disagree that water freezes :) I would hope a van isn't seeing temperatures below freezing inside while being operated sans paying cargo. 120 gallons of water is about 1000 pounds. I like to think outside the box, you could have a van with with running water when you dump it :) TS

How about some sort of collapsible bladder tank, add a few hundred pounds of water and then dump it when loaded, just a thought so you don't diminish load capacity when you need it.

I have a PDF titled "Maintenance and Diagnostics Manual MM-0150 ZF-FreedomLine Transmission". If you want this manual, shoot me a PM with your e-mail and I will send you link to the download from my DropBox, it is about 6Mb so probably will choke most e-mail clients.

Pre 1986 there was no such thing as a CDL in the USA, in Oregon pre 1986 all that was needed legally to drive a CMV was what Oregon called a Chauffeurs License, no drive test, as I recall only an additional written test. The standards likely varied from state to state and there was no minimum...

Easiest way is find a school that has a class B and offers the test in that vehicle, for me it was a bus, so got passenger endorsement at same time. It was a few hours deal, show up at appointment time, learn the bus, practice a bit in the yard, take it on the road and practice the route the...

I bought a pair of Serrngeti glasses. Technology - Serengeti Eyewear Best sunglasses I have ever had by far, I have the amber lens and while I don't drive with them on at night, you can use them all the way till dusk and still see well, wearing these results in way less eyestrain than other...

ZF builds decent stuff, although there does seem to be more electrical/sensor issues with these than there should be, the real issue with this gearbox as has been alluded to, no shops really know much about it, this is mostly due to limited years in the USA and then ZF leaving the US market...

The truck I drove until earlier this year had the same gearbox and got the SM once in a while, as Phil pointed out it seemed related to moisture and always seemed to heal itself, a bad sensor does make a lot of sense. TS

tknight, what do you specifically have questions about? TS

I have had a whisper test previously, the last time two years ago by the same clinic and NP, today it was a gizmo she stuck in each ear a then made different loudness and pitch tones to see if you could hear them, times, they are a changing.

That is indeed a nice ride for a couple wanting to run a TT!

You just did, LOL we just don't know the details... TS

Went in for my medical today, passed, BUT I can tell you that the rules are tightening significantly, the hearing test is more sophisticated, they took neck measurements and waist measurements along with the usual weight, etc. and the agility test will likely fail anyone seriously overweight. I...

I have two Gamin units, one just a run of the mill Nuvi and a Dezl for CMV, if you are running any vehicle that requires CDL, scaling, etc., then a unit made for that usage would be the better choice IMO. I think Garmin has worked most of the bugs out of the Dezl, there were moments when I...

Nice, good to see someone who knows what they are doing, looks like a good Cummins shop right there! TS

Happy Birthday!

Yellow stripe on right, you are going the wrong way!
