    2014 International 4300 Box truck

    If can handle the riggers of local stop and go freight, it should be able to handle freeway driving. Also isn’t it true that local trucks age faster then OTR trucks.

    DEF fluid is dead!

    I'm I wrong but they don't have all these problems with DEF in Europe only the US. Makes you wonder if it's the EPA that's causing the problems with their rules. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using EO Forums mobile app

    General sprinter rearend question

    When my transmission went I was also at a rest area for a bathroom stop and backed out and the van wouldn't go when I put it in drive. 4600 later back on the road. I hate that when I break down I'm usually out of town. I should add no warning at all. That happen at about 350,000 or so miles.

    I wish to say thanks for all the info from everyone but I decided on the promaster 3500ext diesel. Just couldn't get over the Transits wheelbase and overhang. Now I won't see it for another 4 months since it will have to be built.
