Called the dealer that handles Cargomaxx vehicles, to see how much those LED interior lights are so I can see what I am doing while getting loaded/unloaded...They want a vin#....I told them I don't own one, but surely they must sell replacements....

Why?....I am not doing more then required....like trailer hook-ups....how do you know whatwill be required?......heck with that....
They might be thinking a set of them and different maxxs have a different setup....maybe Chefs will give ya his VIN #?....or just tell them any old set will do?LOL
You'll fry the transmission because the transmission oil doesn't circulate when it's towed. If you cannot or do not remove the drive shaft, then it's 35 miles max, and at 35 MPH max.
Don't know about the new Sprinter's drive shaft, but the older ones are just 4 bolts. Easy to get off. Then tie the shaft off to the underside of the van with a bungy cord or something. Getting older ones in Neutral is easy without power, too, just stick a pencil or a screw driver in that little recessed area right below the -D+ on the shifter.
37 minutes of Roadside Inspection videos for something that a van driver doesn't have to deal with. Awesome. I really like it when you watch the video and then the tests don't pop up, so you have to watch the video again with all of your Javascript and other security features turned off so that the Web site can take control of your computer.

Thank you, Turtle, that's what I was going to say earlier, but didn't have the time.I had a friend who did that, towed it without removing the drive shaft.Fried the Tranny.
OVM-Those tests-the list of tests show up, and eventually we are going to be asked to do them, so, if there is time, why not do them in advance and get them out of the way? I take them in the recruiting building.I guess it is a insurance/dot thing for us vanners..educational, though.Can't hurt, just a time-consuming thing.

I know there is a major manufacturer that makes them,(Grote? Trucklite?) just can't find out who.Those are nice, because they are narrow, but put out so much light.I thought a Cargomax was a Cargomax..What would the vehicle vin# have to do with it if the vehicle was shipped as an incomplete vehicle from Chevy to begin with? Cargomax just puts their body on an incomplete chassis to begin with.See what I am saying? We'll see....I hate not being able to see in the dark..

He didn't get over 30 mph and drove maybe 3 miles so don't think any damage was done. But he has never saw the star bit they used for the driveshaft and he said he tows a good bit of them. Also called his buddy who brought a service truck over and they didn't have it nether. Might be worth it to buy one and keep it stored away just in case one day lol
Just have a flatbed truck pick ya up...
OVM ALERT....on my way to yard......
