    2021 MB Sprinter 2.0 gas or diesel

    You are correct in your thinking, in my opinion. 3 years ago I changed both the engine and transmission in my E350 Ford with a reman Ford. They both come with a 3 year unlimited mileage warranty, which includes free loaner car during repair time, and a tow up to 35 miles to the nearest Ford...

    Van floor

    Yes, a shiplap floor in a cube/cutaway is standard. Just over an inch thick. Right before the Pandemic, I was ready to sign the papers on a new 2020 Econoline E350 cutaway. Fully loaded, built the way I wanted it, with a 14' aluminum box, but a wood floor. But the Pandemic scared me out of...

    It's a Team's Life Charcoal Grilling is Kicking My ***

    Not to nose in on the conversation here, but either match light or standard charcoal works for me. And, yes, you are correct. Charcoal needs to be piled into a pyramid so it can heat up quickly. I find 20 minute heat up time works best. I use that time to prepare and season my food, clean up...

    Van floor

    2x6 would seem overkill and on the heavy side, doncha think? I always found 3/8 thick plywood to match the height of the etrack perfectly. But my new van I'm really trying to keep it lightweight as possible, so I removed 2 of the 12' long planks and put a 1x6 in it's place, with the etrack on...

    What kind of oil change should I be getting for my Ford Transit?

    I am a firm believer in running Ford fluids and filters, and parts. They really aren't that much more expensive than others, but are better in quality than most. Stay away from Fram filters. The paper media has been known to actually come apart and clog the oil pump pickup tube in engines that...

    TVAL box leaks

    No, it is not normal to have boxes with leaks. But, with boxes, semi trailers, and especially motorhomes, the corners are the 1st place to check fir damage and leaks. The best and easiest way to seal a box, rv, etc, is to buy the needed length of Konrees seal tape on eBay. This stuff works, and...

    Best straight truck dealers

    When I ran straight truck I absolutely loved Kenworth dealerships and a Kenworth after owning a Freightliner. A world of difference.

    3500 wheel wells widened to accept pallet

    And the wheel bearings. I ran spacers on my 64 Ford pickup and they would always work their way loose. Maybe they have improved since than? But besides the spacers, you are doing it right. Maybe run those super singles on the rear instead that I see some sprinters with on the rear? That's what I...

    2021 MB Sprinter 2.0 gas or diesel

    You did the correct thing. Today's gas engines operate, or last just as long as diesel engines. I have a freind who has a gasser sprinter and is averaging 16-18 mpg, which isn't bad. Factor in the lower vehicle sticker price, the less maintenance costs and the lower cost of gas, oil changes...
