    The Trump Card...

    The content should be of issue, at least a separate issue. As a former Secretary of State, Clinton may have been trading top secret info to the Ruskies for dirt on Trump. She may have been trying to enlist their help in hacking into Sander's campaign prior to the convention. Could be proof of...

    Fuel Stats 2015 Transit

    The following are my totals for the first 6 months of this year. Ford Transit T-350, long and tall, 3.5L EcoBlaster, 3.31 rears. In October 2016 I put on larger diameter tires (245/75 R16) and corrected my mileage by 8%. These totals are actual miles divided by number of gallons and not from...

    Landstar trailers

    $34,000 for a pair of new 53' trailers is a steal.

    Aux Batteries Questions

    I was thinking that using a battery charger would provide the proper charging profile for the house batteries. I have two AGM starting batteries and two AGM house batteries so in theory the alternator should supply the proper charging profile. These new crazyass cannabis electrical systems...

    Aux Batteries Questions

    The starting battery supplies power to the inverter while driving. Since he already has an inverter he isn't using I thought this could be a cheap, simple solution. It would probably require drilling a small hole through the firewall to run the inverter cables to the starting battery. The...

    Aux Batteries Questions

    Since the OP doesn't own the van but could be thinking of buying a van in the future, a 12V to 12V battery charger might be the way to go. Easy to install and easy to remove. Get a pair of AGM batteries which should meet his immediate needs and expand later when he owns a van. Another...

    Mechanical Ford transit owners

    I just received a check in the mail from the Sylvania Automotive Lighting Settlement, a class action suit against Sylvania and their Silver Star headlamps. The check for $9.24 represents the Phase II Distribution payment. I don't recall getting a Phase I Distribution but if you are an expedite...

    Tall van clearance heights

    Out of the box my Transit is 110" tall. I replaced the stock tires with taller ones, adding about 1½". I have a Fantastic Vent with hood which puts it at about 120". Call it 10', I do. I haven't encountered any low clearances on roadways, yet. Mostly its door heights. But I had that...

    Cargo Van Ford finally doing a recall and fix on the drive shaft coupler

    400,000 Transits sold and more being cranked out every day, yet no permanent solution to the giubo problem. Ford's bean counters can come up with a total cost for this recall but the engineers are clueless about a real fix.

    Cargo Van Ford finally doing a recall and fix on the drive shaft coupler

    Its about time Ford publicly acknowledged this problem. What amazes me is their engineers haven't come up with a permanent solution. The logical fix would be a U-joint instead of the giubo but that would probably involve a new drive shaft and the bean counters don't want to go down that road...

    How many hours and how much money can I make driving cargo van, expediting, regionally?

    Driving an owner's van will give him a taste of this business without any significant investment. Why not give it a try for a few months and see. Maybe this owner has a lock on Try Hours short haul freight,
