    Ford Transit question.

    When looking at the builder book, only the highest roof Transit has the 74" door opening, with an 81" interior height. This is exactly why I like bringing it up before I really need it, cause I dunno. Countless Transits are for sale here locally claiming EL, and you can clearly see from the...

    Promaster diesel?

    Many models and lengths like Transit When is it going to be proven? I half think they're part of a secret club, not wanting too reveal their advantage (what happens in the Promaster, STAYS in the Promaster) And no park! Awesome theft proof, they'd be so confused a thief would run away...

    Promaster diesel?

    160" is too short? Same as what I'm driving, 2005 sprinter...if they could crack those 2014 sprinters with the 4 I'd do that

    Promaster diesel?

    Yep, 1 or 2 years, he has gone to promaster / transit as fast as he can. MB indifference to the problem spurred it on. The Transit diesels has been cracked, affording me the chance to temporarily turn off the offending emissions at least, since I plan to run legal... I think the Promaster has...

    Opinions on 2006 Sprinter 2500

    Test drove one and to my surprise it wasn't horrible - actually kind of nifty The MPG is better than even the 4 cyl sprinter, (highly scientific forum reading test method) and I don't have to try and crack the ECU in case of emissions snafu Course I'll change my mind again tomorrow

    Promaster diesel?

    Charity's van aside, who's running a diesel with lots of miles? I like the proven 4 cyl and the manumatic, I dislike the flywheel problems, and dodge emissions bits... There's always a Transit diesel to fall back on, but I don't need a higher roof than the door opening... Unfortunately I can't...

    Ford Transit question.

    I knew someone that shared a run with me that's had one... They're amazing vehicles for what they are. I don't think they're an over the road type vehicle. He thought the same as you, fit a skid and tiny vehicle, good mileage So..with a height of 49 and a width of 48 right there you're missing...

    Winner! You've done your research, and you'll like it, I'm way too hung up on MPG cause I could count on my former company to send me out and leave me to deadhead back. In my experience, a vapor barrier taped in with that red stuff causes the condensation where you can see it, and it's from...

    I guess I run for one company only again, old company wanted too know where I was, and informed me that the fuel card would be stopped after 3 weeks :D

    Opinions on 2006 Sprinter 2500

    Correct, although it has a very troublesome EGR valve which throws it into limp mode, as well as a few transmission and intake system gotchas

    Opinions on 2006 Sprinter 2500

    I paid 2900 US for a 2005 with 180,000 miles. It was broken, but I fixed it. For the flak you get with a carrier driving an old van, its overpriced. Great van if you learn it, only a few trouble spots...search in here if you want to know them...would I buy it? nope
