    Cargo Van Need opinions on van replacement

    As CV owners we only see the loads that we see on any given day.

    Why such a large btu air conditioner? You may be able to make snow! Seriously, with adequate insulation in the van that is a lot for a cargo van. Stay safe KG

    Justify a diesel engine option.

    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...

    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
