You are welcome. Janis Joplin helped me with the last two lines.

Eric B. Sprintin got tired of sittin. So to make amends he bought a Mercedes Benz

Ford guy? He drives his Suburban to Cleveland to fetch his Chevy van. Did you have a rough night?

Shifts into overdrive?

I think you are right. Smaller engines and a couple of more gears to help with fuel economy. These vans are built for the large P & D and construction trades market, not for OTR expediting.

My brother-in-law (Ford sales) priced a tall extended with the 3.7L and it came back with 4.10 rears as standard, also. He is checking on options but from what you posted it might not be available. Flashing red lights would be pretty cool and the gurney will allow you to easily move your bed...

The real world road test is more telling than just driving around a large parking lot. Put 2000# in it, add a bit of a head wind and even on the flats it would probably downshift. I'm sure you're glad you took it out on the big road before buying. I know I am. Thanks for reporting back.

OVM was the undisputed top Canadien expediter until he defected to the U.S. and relinquished his crown. Currently there are several expediters vying for the top spot including but not limited to Scott M. and Piper. LOS could become a contender when the U.S. is forced to sell Michigan to Canada.

GM is right in the thick of the Euro-style van movement. When they unveil the new High Capacity DuraVan at the 2035 Detroit Auto Show; executives from Ford, MB, Fiat and SmartCar will pee in their pants. This is the Sprinter, Transit, Pro Master killer. . Shown here is the hydrogen powered...

Didn't they just build that joint in Seville 5 or 6 years ago after moving from Medina? I see another pay cut coming down the pike. Maybe Murray will buy the old building and move his operations up north. He may even be able to bribe the city council into changing the address from Panther...

How nasty is it? The news clip seemed to contain a lot of hype and not much fact. It was mentioned that a 50° liquified peroxide becomes flammable. Is that 50° Fahrenheit or Celsius? Gasoline is flammable at room temperature. It was also mentioned that it had a potential to be explosive...

Did they give you an approximate delivery date? Did you order through Luther? I'm still waiting to test drive one. I drove past one last Thursday sitting at a dealership in Liberty, MO. just a few miles up the pike from Claycomo. It was during rush hour and the ramp to that exit was all...

Does the Promaster ride rough only when empty or lightly loaded or is it a rough ride all the time? Is the rough ride due to most of the weight in the first 6'?

Down Georgia way thay call tham Promsters.

I had a dessicated run one winter from Minneapolis to Fond Du Lac and return, 2-3 times a week. This lasted about 3 weeks before it dried up. When I got the news this run was over I was decimated and took to drinking,

I agree and it is turning into a disadvantage. I'm leased to a "biggie" and estimate that at least 60% or more of my loads are booked through a 3PL. The 3PL takes a cut and the biggie with their large overhead takes a cut. Smaller carriers have lower overhead due to fewer employees and modest...

How strange indeed coming from the originator of this thread.

There is an alternative to fiberglass insulation, UltraTouch Denim. http://www.bondedlogic.com/pdf/denim-insulation/UltraTouch-Denim-Spec-Sheet.pdf It appears to be heavier than fiberglass or foam board. I insulated my bulkhead with a similar material I call automotive insulation. My van came...

Truck stop dust? I can tell you what all is in that but I don't want to ruin your day or the rest of your life.
