What company will sign on a 1999 model 12 foot cube truck? It needs to run over the road, not locally. It can legally haul around 3,000 lbs and six skids. The truck is in excellent condition. It looks good and runs great. The truck currently has a team in it. I realize that most of the big...

I have finished my front-mount carrier on my Sprinter. What I had in mind is to carry a small generator and supplies on it. It protrudes 31 inches from the front of the van. Does anyone think I will get a ticket or have a problem with it? KL

Hi All, I think this question was posted before but I can't find it. What is the recommended idle speed for a Sprinter if it is going to idle for 8 hours. Thanks, Kathy

When I open the passenger side door on my FL70 there's a white plastic tank with a black screw-on lid. It looks like it is setting on the fuel tank but I guess it is bolted to the truck. Can anyone tell me what liquid should be put in it? It looks like it has water in it right now. I think it is...

Has anyone mounted track on the floor of their Sprinter? I would like to know how to deal with the area over the fuel tank? Did you have to drop the tank? Was there enough room between the tank and body (does not look like it) for a bolt, washer and nut? I thought about mounting it on the...

Just thought I would let everyone know the progress on my carpet project. I found some carpet at Lowe's that had a non-slip backing. It comes 6 foot wide and cut to whatever length you ask for. It has a short pile and was very easy to work with. I pulled everything out of the cab, cut the...

Today I called a local tire store to get pricing on drive tires. The tires that are currently on my truck are re-caps and have 75% of their tread left but on one tire the seam is starting to seperate. The tire store guy told me that if I'm running the truck over the road I can't use recaps. Is...

Upscale Automotive finally released a front mount hitch for the Sprinter. The current version is only good for carrying a cargo box with a weight limitation of 300 pounds. That's enough capacity for what I need. I just want to carry a small generator(52 lbs.), tools and a few other items that...

Has anyone tried Amsoil in their Sprinter? If so, how many miles do you have on it?

I just finished re-reading the HOS thread from a month or so back. I like to do my pre-trip inspection after I finish a load. In other words a post-trip and pre-trip at the same time so I'm ready to go when the next load comes in. I like to have the fuel tank full, oil checked or topped off...

Can anyone tell me what the normal operating temperature is for the 8.3 Cummins engine in my FL70? The oil pressure runs around 60 psi when traveling at 60 mph, when I slow down to an idle it drops to around 20 psi is this normal? Kathy

Does anyone know where I can get the chassis of my truck sandblasted and repainted? I have been told by different ones that it can be done but no one I have spoken with knew where to get it done. Thanks,

As most of you know I bought a used FL70 and it is the first truck I have owned that had air brakes, so I don't really know what to expect. When I turn the engine off I can hear what sounds like air bleeding down under the dash. It is not a loud noisy sound but rather faint. I know I have a...

I talked to the Hino dealer in Ft. Worth today. He gave me a quote for a 25,950 lb truck with, air brakes, a 72" sleeper and a 22' box: 41,955 Basic truck price 13,000 72" sleeper by Weldon Sleepers in Ft. Worth 1,500 to stretch the frame 30" 7,000 for a 22' box with a roll-up door -------...

I know I'm asking a lot is questions lately and for that I'm sorry. I would like to do some RV type conversions on my sleeper. Why is it no one uses the small propane tanks on their trucks like the RVs have. I know there are some tunnels where they are not allowed, but what about the rest of...

I have a section of wood floor that needs to be replaced on my truck. Does anyone know where I could get it done? My home-base is Dallas so I would like to get the work done within a 100 miles of there (if possible). Dallas is a typical big city and it can be very difficult to find someone that...
