Whats the history on the units? 150-170 K seems awfully low mileage to sell anything Diesel. Sure the mileage looks good but how many service or engine hours are on it? That makes all the difference because 150 170 K in a major city is exponentially different than all highway. You could have...

Thanks for the info. I checked out the site and It looks good its 00:42 eastern so I will try calling tomorrow or Monday.

I recently picked up a Chevy express 16 foot Areocell van. Its just over 12000 lbs GVW so I will be required to install an EOBR. Everything I found so far is for larger trucks and require a data contract. Since I am home every night my DOT contact has told me that I can use my time card but I...

Check at Carquest. Their Green line commercial series belts hold up considerably longer than the standard rubber belt. In most cases they can match one up to your application.

Don't waste your money, the transmission cooler will do very little to nothing to cool the engine. What are the RPMs at? usually anything over 2000 will result in excess heat poor as well as mileage. I'm almost willing to bet money on that this most likely the cause of your high engine temps...

Locks keep the honest man honest.

Couldn't read the facebook article. I was told by a friend that is a ford tech. the ford ecoboost engines have an issue with excessive carbon building up on the valves. No service bulletins on how to remove the carbon only option is R&R the heads.

This would be the customer who uses "mechanic in a can" and expects a permanent repair for the head gasket, oil seal, faulty oil pump, dirty or failing injectors, weak HPOP, slipping transmission, leaking or blown water pump, leak in the cooling system, tire that wont hold pressure, and wonders...

If you have only one battery and its Diesel, check its cranking and cold cranking amps. Its best to have as close to 1000 CCA as possible. Also a second battery helps. Group 31 batteries are usually beefier as well. if you have or opt for dual batteries replace or install them both at the same...

Who makes a decent tire for a 2005 Chev. 3500 C Van. and has highway manors, wears like steel wheels, and decent mileage. I want something that's aggressive so I don't have to worry about deep snow & rain, but not so aggressive and noisy that after 5 minutes of road noise I have to beg someone...

Leeseneville / Prestolite is the OEM starter and alternator for class 6 through class 8 trucks. They also make severe duty alternators for light vehicles as well. theyre not cheap, but they are usually servicable as far as swapping out brushes, diodes, etc. You can get them with the ability for...

I was going to say Leeseneville / Prestolite is the OEM starter and alternator for class 6 through class 8 trucks. They also make severe duty alternators for light vehicles as well. theyre not cheap, but they are usually servicable as far as swapping out brushes, diodes, etc.

About ten years ago I had a short term contract as a machinist at Brunner Int. in Medina NY. I was working on the line cutting air brake S cams. It didn't matter whos name the box had on it Bendix, Spicer, etc., the part was the same with minor differences like a bore for a set screw or a radius...

This video might help explain the crash absorption in cars.

I like the fed ex deer guard idea. almost hit one square on a couple years ago, missed it by inches, next thing I know it was under the rear tires. Ive thought about the solid bumpers and guards A T/T or strait truck sure beefing it up shouldn't be a problem as the frames are solid strait C...

I thought it over and decided the box replacement will be way to expensive for the year of the truck and I'm leaning toward building a flatbed / stake body style truck. within the budget I figured a strait forward no frills steel deck 24 - 26 foot flatbed around 5 grand materials and my free...

Trust me I feel your pain New York state is one of the highest priced for fuel then add highway use taxes and tolls I try every angle I can safely and legally use to save a buck. If you can get the weight distribution math right and not totally slash your freight capacity or the investment...

F.Y.I. If your a newbie, Turtle is experienced however he can be sarcastic sometimes you need a sense of humor..

If you want an accurate curb weight stop at a truck stop with no freight on board just the items you normally carry on the road. You the driver, co-driver or pet if you ride with one, clothing and gear, tools, etc. Fill the tank and weigh the vehicle on a truck scale. You will know how much...

Thanks for the feedback. Good tip usafk9 Born and raised in Rochester I know all too well the rust monster. I have a bullet proof industrial primer and paint system I get from Sherwin Williams, add chassis saver and it should last a long time. Are you from around Rochester? If so give feel...
