That post on the general forum got me to thinking. I went from New Orleans to Houston on Friday. That route is very level with few inclines. The wind was minimal and I drove it at 55mph. My average fuel economy at 63mph had been 18.3mpg over this same route, but slowing down to 55mph...

Opinions on where to buy deep cycle batteries?

I have researched both Sure Power and Hellroaring isolators. The Hellroaring seems much easier to install. Anyone have experience with either?

A fellow expediter was telling me last night that he has been experiencing repeated headlamp failures. He changes the headlamp it works OK for a while then it starts to dim and finally fails. Anyone else had this problem? If yes, what is the fix?

Question: I am doing some research on a "Stand Alone" sleeper unit. A sales associate told me that the D.O.T. requires some type of communication device linking the cab of the truck to the sleeper. I guess I could understand that requirement (I haven't found the regulation yet) if one were...

I talked with a Chevrolet 3500 owner a few years ago and I noticed that he had a snug fitting set of seat covers. I bought a set that had an opening to accommodate the outboard armrest, but they were so loose fitting I had to return them. Does anyone have a snug fitting set of seat covers...

Anybody know why you should not apply your brakes while traveling over a set of railroad tracks?

Anybody out there driving a Mitsubishi? Looking for some info on the specs for one set up for expediting.

Considering diesel is running as much as a $1.00 MORE per gallon..... That is why I chose not to go with another diesel, but what do I know..... Maybe some real numbers will help folks make an educated decision. Gasoline Use Grows By Light & Medium Truck There was a...

I looked around in search engines, but the results were not many. Anybody have a good source for alloy wheels? The truck is a Chevrolet Express 3500 Cutaway Chassis with Dual Rear Wheels. There are plenty of sources for single rear wheel trucks, but for the dual wheels the sources were...

I really like this little fan. It folds down flat and angles up from 0 to 90 degress. It has 4 "D" cell batteries in the base. There are four speed settings. On low, it will run for 72 hours. I bought it to place it on the dash during the winter when heating the van. I discovered that...

Welcome back my friends...to the show that never ends. CB ANTENNA MOUNT --- SWR CAME OUT AT 1:1 FIA SNAP ON BUG SCREEN --- WHEN IT GETS COLD A WINTER FRONT SNAPS ON IN PLACE OF THE BUG SCREEN

We've heard through the grapevine that another element of the collaboration between Chrysler LLC and Nissan, in addition to the latter giving the former a small car and the former giving the latter a pickup, is that Chrysler will be ditching its Daimler-sourced Sprinter commercial van in favor...

While doing research on Sprinters I must have signed up for a forum. One of the members emailed this to me. I thought my Sprinters friends might be interested. Here is his post: I urge everyone to R+R their plastic valve cover at every oil change and inspect the injector compartment for...

If you have an Aerocell DRW could you please tell me where your Qualcomm is mounted? If it is mounted inside the cargo box I would like to know if you have the integral skylight roof or not. I believe I saw an Aerocell DRW without the integral skylight, which makes the roof area thicker...

The new truck is comprised of a GM cutaway van body and a fiberglass cargo box. The cutaway van roof is also cut out and that area is fiberglass too. So where do I mount a CB antenna for the best reception? I thought about a full length whip off the metal rear bumber. What say the EO...

I have never had a roll-up door, or barn door either, so I need your opinions on the type of padlock I should consider. I guess freezing in the winter months is going to be a major concern.

This will be mounted to a GM DRW chassis with a GVWR of 10000lbs. Hopefully, I'll get it right after the third attempt. The 2006 Express 3500 Extended with the Duramax was a great van, but the regualr maintenance expense was costly. Moreover, in many areas of the country it was difficult to...

Inverter: Usage is limited to the battery capacity. May cause interference with electronic devices. Easy to use. Expense to install? Cost to replace batteries? Generator: Portables require refueling; hence, a fuel container too. Not the easiest to use. Usage only limited by...
