Back when Chef got his there was talk of laminate flooring. Well I did that on one of my C/Vans and will do it from now on. Went to Home Depot got enough to do the floor and got the under laymant with it. The flooring is not quite 1/2 inch and with the under laymant it fits flush with the...

I also think the 6500# advertised weight is with the dual wheel set up. I think.

I understand with your C/Max but the Ford wheel base is somewhat shorter, that's why I was curious. Fords also have a differant front axle design than Chevy. I have heard several people say that their Ford C/Vans are light on the front and handle accordingly. Is the Terra Max built by the...

Very nice and clean install. Do they offer an insulation package from the factory?? Am also interesting in handling characteristics when you load a pallet in the back behind the short wheel base. How does it affect your steering?? I have always liked the look of the new Ford front end but...

That kind of heat is really hard on any engine confined to the area that the C/Van has. Best to up the rpms and pop the hood. An engine in a C/Van gets almost no air unless going down the road, its really hard on them.

Except for the mileage whats the difference between that and a regular C/Van??

Yes you are right. I am referring to now which is R-22 just junk.

I'm not sure about the engine requirements for the switch, mine is a 6.0. I'm sure you can get an aftermarket switch, they are pretty common. 2006 uses the old type Freon so be careful not to mix. They were cold and better systems than now (my opinion).

To me I would always let someone check the system and charge the system who know's what that vehicle requires. Improper oiling of the compressor will shorten the life of the system and or will freeze up the compressor. That's one part of the truck that should be left to the pro's. That's just...

Saw something interesting on the Maxx Automotive Corporation - UltraMaxx - TerraMaxx -Step Van - Cargo Van- Custom Vans -Custom Van-ome web site. Hopefully these photos come through. Go to photos. They have a Chevy C/Van that copy's a Sprinter.

You can get a High Idle switch from your GM dealer. It's the same upgrade that the ambulances use. Kick the switch and it will idle at 1200rpm. It's not the fan, its the amount of Freon going through the line. Also make sure your inside recirculating air is on and your not pulling air from...

I have one C/Van that came with a 3.42 and 6.0 power. Don't buy the 3.42 get a 3.73. Had it changed out. Driver with the 3.42 went to the Northwest came back with nothing but compaints about down shifting all the time. He just left it in Direct. Paid a Grand and swapped it. Actually better...

Yes very cool, but one observation. I didn't see them put oil in it. Yeep!

You might already know this but the best way to clean an EGR is with Brake fluid. Doesn't damage the componants and carbon is less likely to stick to the metal in the future.

I want ad something. The most important part of a Cat is the bottom end. If you damage the crank in a Cat it's the most expensive part of the engine. When I rebuild anything I have the crank and camshaft turned and straighten'd. I know what do you mean straighten'd? When a new engine gets...

A 3126 is a sleevless engine, hence that why they call it a throw away and that's why I brought up the using no oil. If the rings are okay and compression is good the options I mentioned can work. Again if you take it to a shop it would be better to replace with another 3126 not another brand...

Pressure in the oil pan a noted problem with older Cats. We used to check the oil with the old Cat with the engine running. Anyway if you rebuild the upper end, head, valves, injectors. If your not using any oil and while your doing that, change the main bearings, front and rears seals and...

Ran across this company and thought it would interest a few looking to insulate their Sprinter. http://www.fgproducts.com/COOL-R.asp

I did read another article that said it was to be 140hp and expecting 24 mpg on the extended model. But you know how that goes.
