If you are concerned that your measurements or planing for the holes may not be correct, why not let a professional do that work for you. Everyone is not comfortable doing some tasks. Stay safe KG

I would recomend the 6.0 but am less than enthused with the trans. (Replaced at 225000) mostly big hill driving. My heaviest load was an occasional 2200lb. Best of luck Stay safe KG

I am wondering if a truck had an Espar heater installed if a tee fitting could be used to utilize the Espar line already installed in the fuel tank. Stay safe KG

All I know is, twice I have purchased a new diesel-powered van. Following each purchase, there was an immediate and unrelenting increase in the price of diesel fuel. :) Stay safe, KG

Michelin LTX MS/2 for sure!!!!:clapping-hands-above-head: Stay safe KG

Yep good welder for the money! Sounds like you got a good deal. Just like any weld process on thicker materials use multiple passes and maintain your interpass temperature. Have fun! Stay safe KG

I have the Espar B4 and it will roast you when it is cold out if you turn up the temp on the controller to 65deg. Try using a setting of 60 or 61 or even lower.

Just curious, do the def problems occur with the new 4 cylinder also? Hope someone with a 4 cyl can answer. Thanks in advance for your feedback. Stay safe KG

My thoughts on the 3 purchase options you listed. The Sprinter option although a sweet van has apparent diesel issues and a small dealer network.. The Promaster with the front wheel drive setup would not appeal to me for expediting use. The Ford gasser with a large dealer network would be my...

Perhaps if your company only runs Sprinter vans you would not feel that you could not see a load. However with companies that run both Sprinters and CV's it is possible that dispatch would be inclined to "save" Sprinters in a busy area for that larger load. True there are less CV's in the...

As CV owners we only see the loads that we see on any given day. It may be true that CV's with less than 3 pallet length and only 50" height miss loads on a regular basis due to their limited capacity. It may also be true that Sprinter size vans miss loads on a regular basis due to their excess...

I have owned in the past 2 diesel expedite vans. Both were pre- new generation diesels. I was pleased with them but always had a nagging doubt as to whether the economics of the diesel option could be justified. The price difference of fuel and the purchase cost premium the 2 big factors...

Try looking into Hella replaceable headlamp fixtures. They use the 3 prong bulbs. Susquehanna Motorsports is a good source. Rally Lights, Hella, TerraTrip, Hans, WRC, ZAMP. All the lighting you will ever need. I have ordered from them for many years. Hope this helps. Stay safe KG

Installed a Coleman 9200 btu favoring the rear half of the van. Wondered myself what the milage downside would be. It seems that there is little if any difference. Stay safe kg

My experience with the 6.0 ford is quite different. I accumulated 200,000 miles on a van with very little problems at all. Lack of shielding caused the upper radiator hose to leak at about 5000 miles. But other than that, just regular maintenance with Mobil 1 oil. Stay safe KG

Did you repair the welds? It would be interesting to see pictures of the re-worked joints. Stay safe KG

If I were to someday change my mind and mount the gen to the truck ,I would put it up front like yours .

Coleman mach 8. Yamaha, yep thick chain. :)

I am getting ready to install a rooftop air conditioner in a new van. I'am not really a fan of bumper mounted generators in or out of boxes. My question is for those who put the generators on the ground and chain the units to the van. Do you experience much vandalism or theft attempts when...
