First impressions: obvious wear pattern on ring gear near the edge, but no broken teeth. I'll check the lash 360 degrees cause I don't wanna buy a ring and pinion if I can avoid it Gear oil is dirty and discolored, slightly milky. I can only guess the movement allowed the pinion seal to wear...

Update: took a Thursday delivery. Going out to tear apart a differential :cool:

Spoke too soon. Box 2 came, SKF American made bearings. Sure doesn't look like $500...

Box one came. No parts just a few tools. Ever try to find a low mileage 2005 differential :( Since I'm doing the whole rearend, might as well pick up a transmission to rebuild. I have 450k miles on mine, and I got it low on fluid and it was black (in 2016) Definitely feels like I'm retired...

Hard to roll when you are waiting for "non-essential" parts to do your essential job They've managed to figure out how to verify a credit card after 7 days. Congrats to them, a human really outdoes that computer Over $500 gets manually verified. I don't even want to hear it. I have 0...

Yeah but I got $325 for my last van. I'd list it as many places as I could Selling something locally, they think mileage is a problem

Unlike my neighbors, I'm doing my best to find work :cool:

Just made $20 changing somebody's xenon headlight in front of my house. (We social distanced and I wore gloves, but it was to avoid touching the glass)

Half here are trying to get out of expedite. Job switch, maybe? Expedited for OTR straight swap....

Preliminary numbers are in. If you use our unemployment insurance numbers for the Covid benefit: All jobs gained in Canada since 1986 have been wiped out :tearsofjoy: . 19 million working prior to 3rd week of March this year, 12 million now. We've burned through 22 billion of the the 24...

May 4th here. But with a warning they will work on food and medical supply chains first. So June if we're lucky Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

Thank you. (For reminding me why I have an old sprinter) To me, it's 25% of what I paid for it 4 years ago. And likely exceeding the current value. Trying to make sure I'm in position to get what I want later. I have a feeling we aren't seeing the "pandemic pricing" yet, but we will Oh...

Never thought i'd live to see it. They're calling in the Army. No, that's not what I mean. Toronto calls in the Army for 2 inches of snow. They called in the Army to OLD AGE HOMES. End of days, people :tonguewink:

He's not far from me, but I don't want to get into freight charges - plus cross border Wrong place to break down, there's thousands of old delivery sprinters in Toronto making the used market hard I'm good with $600 for brand new sks bearings. The rest is tools I'll have forever, that I've...

One of my favorite videos. "Bad day at work" type series on YouTube I think

Is this the right place to complain my rearend rebuild will cost $600 in parts and $400 in tools? No? No sympathy? I believe it should have lasted longer than 450k miles, but the floppy driveshaft disagrees. Anyway no used units, and it's $800 for something with 200,000 miles if I shipped it...

Here's some input For America’s Small Truckers, Demand Is ‘Falling Off a Cliff’

Found the solution already! It would definitely help if I either got free fuel, or they paid me to take it. U.S. oil prices crash below zero for the first time in history |

Oh this is interesting. https://www.freightbrokerlive.com/breaking-news-truckers-block-interstate-610-in-houston-to-protest-low-rates/ The single thing that would make anybody pay attention Now should it be in the middle of a pandemic? Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

Well, you seem to know the worst that could happen. People are just trying to say it likely will. So in other words, if you think it's a slam-dunk start. That is, when you find a source of freight There's one guy on here that simply found a bunch of drivers that take low pay and live in their...
