Well I don't know what I did so right this week but I have a 2 stop load that I picked up in Cleveland delivering to Los Angeles and San Diego which I will deliver tomorrow and Thursday morning then go back to LA to pick up a load going to New Jersey. Talk about 2 really good trips in a row.....

My expediting career may have ended... Sprinter dropped cylinder #5 and a recent bankruptcy seems to be preventing finance on a new one..... Oh what a wonderful start to 2015 !

Oh great, the van won't start :(

Starting to wonder about my battery or the charging system. It seems to be drying out way too soon. Even though it's been cold, nothing compared to last year and I had no problems. It's only 2 years old. It first raised an eyebrow at my last fuel filter change. Even though it is always pretty hard to start afterwards, the battery seemed to go dead pretty fast. it's acting like it did before I got my new battery. Oddly, the problems started after I got my espar with the auxiliary battery, coincidence :confused:

I would reach out to the all knowing of electrical.....the one they call Turtle.

I think you can get financing from expediter services with bad credit.

Swapping motor out not a option with your truck?

he is looking at least 5K and thats on the real lucky side....

I bet that would be on good guy prices but still better then refinance a new one until he can get back on his feet with that banking issue... Not knowing the condition of the rest of the vehicle I'm just asking...

My friend bought a used motor with a 60 day 20k warranty
120 days later it thru a rod he ended up buying a reman and spent 18k by the time he was done
In my book the motto is buy once cry once.... He should have taken my advise
