May - be Locations & More

After first striking out (yet again) today trying to get my windshield/rust repair work done. Finally got some good news. Found a local shop that can do the work

Van will be down about a week, so planning on 1st week of June.

Maybe tonight I can get more then 5 hrs of sleep. Yeah, I was getting a little worried

Ok, so I'm curious ... exactly how much rust is there? We've all seen Sprinters that have some rust on them, in various spots. Got a photo you can share ...?

Really not much that can be seen, but apparently enough to raise eyebrows. From my multiple shop visits, a liability concern arises from what (may) lie beneath, If replaced without any needed repair. The windshield, which acts as a roll bar, could pop out causing all kind of liability issues, which is what's scaring off people (as explained to me).

Won't know for sure if any actual rust repairs are needed until windshield is cut out, and checked out more closely.

When Zorry had his COE rust around the windshield was an issue. Although an aluminum cab, the glass was in a metal frame.
The truck was a 2001 and around 2010 Paccar only had one or two new ones available in the US.
At $3000 each.
He found a Peterbilt body shop that was able to save his.

I like Zorry’s rig. A shame the COE is becoming if not already extinct. Oh you might find some on the road here and there and over yonder but very few.

Been off for a full week (first time this year). Man, that time went by fast.
Now in a funk. Don't want to leave, but don't want to stay either

Was it the Clash that sung

Should I stay or should I go, if I go it could be trouble, if I stay it could be double.

I live in South Jersey (newest home of sports betting) near the Pine Barrens (where the North Jersey mob buried the bodies) so knot sure what we are, but I know the locals, known as Pineys, make rednecks look like Harvard grads.

Managed to get my self back in service. Got a shorty a few miles from home going to Romulus. Looked like it was going to cancel as UPS had just picked it up. But they had him bring it back. Wasn't pleased with the delay, since now I would be going through Detroit at peak rush time. Surprisingly, I got through with little slow downs.

Now at Wayne's World and back out of service. New engine sound needs investigating. Murphy continuing to knock on my van this week
