Use caution when downshifting to decelerate on snowy or icy roads - it can cause your rear wheels to lose traction and break loose .... this is particularly true when downshifting an automatic.

Was that onto the metal floor - or was there already plywood down ? You may want to save some plywood to cover the insulation you put where the window should be. Assume you're talking about the sidedoor ? There was a grey plastic panel that was in there that I will probably put back up there...

Well I managed to get over to Lowes and pick up two 4' x 8' sheets of 3/4" birch plywood. Before I went I drew out a cut sheet on a piece of paper - for $4.75 additional I got them to do about 20 cuts (a bargin for sure) and I wound up with enough to do the floor plus make up a center console...

Leo, What is "POD" ?

Moot, It's going pretty well, although it's been very time-consuming. ;) Mostly because of the insulation - putting on the Great Stuff expandiing foam can be a little tricky - especially on the celiing ..... ya can't get too much of it on (big gaps) otherwise it just falls out of the cavity...

Leo (or any other Panther o/o's that would care to respond), What all data does Panther send on the text message load offers ?

The number for the main office is: Sam Winer Motors - 330-628-4881 It's an interesting place - I've delivered ammo there a couple of times.

Our 2006 only has 5K miles on it at this point and we've had the following problems: Intake air flow or temperature sensor went bad causing the Engine Malfunction light to come on - vehicle continued to run just fine. Replaced under warranty. Power steering rack developed a leak. The rack...

Bryan, Was this on the ceiling that you used the paneling ? Or just the sidewalls ? Was it called beadboard or tileboard by chance ? A light color or white would be good - keep it bright. I didn't get a chance to finish up the insulation on the ceiling today - ended up having to go running...

I have an email into Linda Dove @ NavTeq querying whether any of the 204 attributes that comprise the NavTeq data set are clearance heights, and if not, are they planning to incorporate it at some future date. If I get an answer back on that I'll ask about HazMat.

Good thought on upholsterers ...... I slid over to Lowes this afternoon and picked up a couple of 4 x 8 sheets of 1" polyisocyanate foam insulation (R 6.5). Got two of the six cavities on the roof hung this evening and got all the pieces cut for the rest of the roof.. I just used Great Stuff...

I expect this post will rub some the wrong way .... but here goes ..... Entirely too much missing data ...... and too many assumptions in this thread .... and others. First, the assumption is made that she has had no drug testing done - maybe I missed something but was that ever specifically...

Thanks for the clarification the GVWR - when I read your post it reminded me that I had read that somewhere along the line ...... but had forgotten it. :)

In the barn.

Brian, Thanks for the info. I am planning on using birch on the floor. Appreciate what you are saying on distance - it's definitely something one can do to keep out of trouble.

Ken, Thanks. Probably a real good idea on the foil-backed stuff - I've heard it works real well. I was hoping that I would be able to use the 2" blue styro but it's just too thick for the ceiling so 1" it is, I guess. I got the price from the local Dodge dealer on the factory headliner .... I...

Dave, You're asking the wrong guy .... I'm just getting started myself and haven't ran my first expedite load yet - so I'm no wealth of experience. Having gotten that out of the way, personally I'd rather not log and scale - that's part of the reason we own a Sprinter (2500 SHC 158" wb) - the...

Ken wrote: >I have my van well insulated You have the ceiling insulated ? If so, how did you do it ? I should be finishing up insulating the side walls and rear doors today. I filled the large areas with 2" Dow blue styrofoam and then used Dow Great Stuff to foam in around the styro. It's...
