    Reefers

    I know when it comes to trucks alot of poeple think a truck is starting downing the "downhill side" of it's life at 500k-750k. What about reefers? What is the point where a used reefer has to many hours on it to think about buying it and getting some good use out of it?

    You know what would be cool

    I'm surprised I haven't seen one. That's one of those awnings that they mount on rvs put on a straight truck. Think about it. You could roll it out break out the lawn chairs drink some fruit punch and wait on a load. Maybe even break out one of those lil grills and cook a couple of burgers or a...

    Sprinter Warranty

    I saw an advertisment on the tv yesterday about dodge now having a lifetime powertrain warranty. I wonder if this will cross over to the Sprinter as well? That would be great for you guys who own them.

    Saw something different yesterday

    Yesterday I was riding with my wife in our car and I saw a Sprinter with a liftgate on the back. It set up higher in the back than it did in the front. Like maybe it had a 3 inch lift on the back axle. It looked almost like it came straight out then down. It was slid under the back bumper.
