Not sure if the border guys are the jerks. Have you been following our political scene? What must they think across the border when they turn on the evening news? Canada should consider building a wall to keep us out!
Yes, the border guys are jerks. I realize they have a job to do, but, their additude is that of "I am better than you".... I don't need to be treated that way...... There fore, I don't cross.

Can only be a school science fair project. Can't think of any other reason.

The Cummins 3.8 liter engine produces a highway rating of 35 miles per gallon.

I'm positive that would not be doable in a full size extended Chevy, but it wouldn't be too far off. The Europeans have been doing it for 30 years or more. look at their ratings on the diesel vans.

Does Martin Luther King Day typically affect freight movement
Not much...most blue collar industries are up and running....more of a government holiday...and if did effect us we would have felt it Friday past as the closed places well....are closed...so basically anything scheduled to closed plants will deliver tomorrow instead...

Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to buy a diesel van like a Sprinter, ProMaster or Transit? You could run into all kinds of complications dropping a 4 cylinder Cummins in a Chevy, motor mounts, transmission, rear end etc. Too bad GM didn't lop off 2 cylinders on the Duramax.
Yes ... Tuesday deliver for me in TX.... -9° early when left the house this morning in Iowa....

According to my truck it's 7 outside here in Lexington. Forgot to leave my APU on over the weekend so my truck is stupid cold. First day of backing school and my instructor is gonna go over all the things my trainer may have missed or just didn't experience while we were with em.

At home OOS til later this afternoon. Been up since 6 am. 2 doctors appts. completed with one left for this afternoon. Now at the coffee shop with the wife for a hot breakfast. Was 10* this morning when I went out to warm up van.
