I own a 2010 Sprinter. The problem started with a Diesel Exhaust Filter Indicator light that would not go out even after adding the DEF fluid. The dealer told me that as a result of running one tank of 5% bio-diesel that the DEF Filter had clogged up and that the part alone was $2500.00...

The frustrating part for me is that I read EO posts and have been around for awhile...with in the first 3 months of purchase I equipped this van with an Espar, a Honda 2000i and a rooftop a/c. I idled but a minuscule amount and still clogged on the early side of normal life span... Grrrrrr!!

Another option I found was a DPF delete kit that removes the filter altogether. It replaces sensors on filter with dummy sensors that "fool" the computer. I questioned the legality of doing this and opted for cleaning instead. Given that I would expect increased power and better fuel mileage I...

Briggie, Did you un-install that part of exhaust system yourself?...this was my original plan but I could not see how to disconnect at engine block on 2010 model...freight liner told me they put 12 man hours into un-install/reinstall and that it booked at 8 hours. Labor was the killer for...

Guys n gals.... Invest in a Alpha USB Wireless adaptor....and an External antenna..preferably 12 db or higher..bout a hundred bucks all told....I generally get a choice of 3 to 10 un-encrypted internet access points almost where ever I park...I am a Vanner so all McDonalds, Panara breads...

I downloaded the Crackle app a couple of days ago....and like it very much...Apparently owned by Sony Films and features material owned by Sony... Works well..quite a few good movies and no pauses like I see so much in HULU... 2 thumbs up from me!! ... and yes...Woody pulls it off again in...

Espar heater was one of my first purchases....I have Idled a VERY small amount..but we're talking probably less than 20 hours total in 1.5 years of use.... I did get one tank of bio-fuel but fuel tank label states must be less than 2% bio so I never did that again...(had no choice on that...

Just thot I'd pass this ill maint. Issue on and see what the comments would be.... Dpf filter clogged up at 160 k....MB dealer cost to replace around $2300.00 plus labor....Found a place to clean filter for around $500.00 + shipping... 2 different MB dealers refused to remove/re-install...

4 grand might be what I gross in 4 days but certainly not net.....Scheduled downtime for this type of maintenence could leave you with pics of a nice cruise to the bahamas and a clean dpf filter!!

I would recommend having it done this way if your going the spray foam route... I did it myself using Pink board and Great Stuff. I tried to do it as I went along needing to make money as soon as possible after van purchase. Great Stuff is VERY messy and gets all over everything. Best...

I have been very pleased with RBM north of Alpharetta, GA, I bought my 2010 from them in April. It is a Mercedes Benz Dealer. All the Mercedes Dealers are fairly new to the sprinter line but these folks seem to be taking it pretty seriously. I have been in constant contact with them since...

Always wondered...What is the curb weight of one of those midway conversions....2nd question..."agent based company"...landstar falls in this category i assume and who else...basically i'm looking for more info on my options as an expeditor... Thanks, HT Hobo

Ann Rands novel "Atlas Shrugged" pointed to government officials making laws ambiguous so at any time an individual, who needed to be brought around, "to the proper way of thinking" could be.... via the selective enforcement of the ambiguities... How did she see into the future so...

One would think ICE would feel compelled to join in the festivities planned. A blatant "coming out" of illegals should be too hard to resist. Especially if they promote a violent in your face platform.. It is common sense that we can not just "Deport them all" and if you really study the...

Dog owners DO spoil their pets and I have to admit to being one of them. I travel with a 17 y/o Pekenese and I rarely use the leash. Even if I did I agree they need time off the leash "to be a dog"...Being a dog sometimes results in a fight...and unfortunatly some times dogs die in a fight...It...

DEF usage is a number I can only guess at...My guess would be about 10K between refills. It's a fairly minor expense at 12 to 15 bucks a bottle. Usuage depends on driving conditions..ie how much dust in the air, idling time etc. By "Following the Program" I do not mean do everything...

Turtle, You have a point. When we were a more city based society public transit and walking were the way. The US started building the suburbs in the 50's based on our great road system and the availability of cheap automobiles. Thus the advent of Mega Malls, Strip shopping centers and huge...

I've been in my 2010 Sprinter for about a year now and can verifiy the Lower mpg returns. I am getting an avg of 19mpg which I will admit is not what I had hoped for at the time of purchase... As to service costs I really dont think there is much difference at the dealership level other...

Not so sure whether it is a right or a privilege... but I do know it is an absolute necessity in todays world.. As to traffic laws being used for revenue generation, I have no doubt, and this was one of the major reasons for my moving from a straight to a van. Before I get long...
