Proper care of the newer emissions vans includes trading in early and often :(

Dude its not that hard. You could probably gather the parts yourself for 500 or so. I've done that at the side of the road more times than I can count...my quote in 09 was 1500 and when I threatened to leave they suddenly found a part for 500 cheaper Course if you don't have a floor jack and...

Briefly considered turning a junkyard Espar into a driveway melter. Decided the best course of action was to roll over and go back to sleep

Suprisingly no one was...although that semi driver seems like any typical company driver, pedal to the limiter to max that $$$ per mile (Edit: ive always disagreed with the pay per mile system especially on regulated trucks, but I dunno what would change it)

100 car pileup beside me, wondered what all the sirens were a couple days ago Someone took video of the weekend crashes on the 401 Not feeling sorry about my extended vacation

Information collecting is all. Seems like a huge amount of work and money to end up with the same size and weight capacity that's already sitting in my driveway BTW guess I'm not getting punished, called around to some Canadian expediters and its a traditional slow start to the year for us

Oh still in service, going NOWHERE fast...am I being punished :p lol

I'd be blissfully happy to toss the AMT in the trash and install a european manual, but that would be a great excuse for the mechanics to NOT fix it and blame me on the road So OVM, the Ford had a special option on the diesel to bring the 9500 GVWR to 9950...3.73 gearing! (Stock 3.31) Basically...

Seems like its pretty easy to option out a Promaster diesel to match the ford price. No huge packages, just a bunch of options that just keep adding up Dual sliding doors on the Promaster too. But why cant I get a swivel seat that's heated with lumbar? It's either or

I think I might just buy a dodge. At least they just break instead of slowly torturing you to death

Just buy a new van, heater and controller are 1500 CDN option...

Ford transit came in a couple thousand less...dual sliding doors, diesel, lots of power upfitter goodies lane departure heated mirrors tow pkg etc. But sprinter was loaded too...on to Promaster Oh and claimed payload of 3640 (9500 GVW 350), MB didn't even mention it Forgot to mention sprinter...

Just completed a sprinter build, $57,890 as I'd like it...8550 GVW blah :p but it had the all important headlamp washing system $43,702 USD Oh ya im busy :D lol

Trying to get TX bound after Tuesday, good to know. At the time I switched, diesel was 4.30 US in Ohio, figure I saved $20,000 a year after my bill went from near 3000 a month to less than 800. Not counting the 3 straight months the pump was on free :cool:

MANY thanks, ntimevan After a quick internet search, the 4000 lb seems to come from the quoted base curb weight of a short low roof 118" WB and some vague language (quote the lightest one's weight and talk up the biggest one's size)

Well 880 litres total should make one hell of a bonfire

So now I know what those "monster size funny looking deer" were that I've seen on my travels

Same difference? :) Mighty hunter I'm not

Looks like RT5 in WNY lol Whole lotta deer burgers...

Dived into an oil prices stock website and the prevailing opinion is - low prices here to stay Doesn't explain why I've seen 4.50 a gallon here (1.19 a litre, CAD$) our silly liberals might have something to do with it
