I agree with hondaking38 I've not had any problems with that on my Sprinter. Now the EGR valve that's another story all together...lol. Overall I like the sprinter but it leaves much to be desired in the "no idle" and rumble strip noise in the motor that no one seems to be able to find what...

This is a known problem with DC and several vans have the problem. But no one seems to know or can find out what is causing it. Very few Sprinter owners that have this problem can get it to the shop while the noise is there. I spent $400 trying to have Freigthliner find the problem. Only to be...

If your not sure who to write in your state you can go here: http://www.truckline.com/fuelpricecrisis they will give you the information. If you don't want to write the email your self it will give you a canned letter. You can also write your local new media there too.

Thanks everyone for you suggestions. I doubled checked on the Espar and see that I did screw up on the price. Right now I have a heavy duty sleeping bag (I bought it in the UP) to keep warm for now. I need to find something to keep the van warmer when the temp drops as I also have my boxer...

How do you plan on staying warm this winter? I have a Sprinter with a sleeper and I'm looking for options for staying warm this winter. I can't afford to go out and spend 3000 for an Espar heater right now. So I thought I'd see how everyone else keeps warm in the cold months.

I tried to tell him how the van was supposed to be towed even showed him pics from the manual. He wanted to do it HIS way...well in the end he found out it wouldn't work. Eventually he did tow it the way it is supposed to be towed.

If you ever break down in the Nashville area DO NOT call Marshall Trucking. I had a 4hr waiting for a tow truck 2 hrs for the driver to figure out how to hookup my Sprinter. The driver looked and smelled as if he hadn't showered in weeks. Then he started talking about having "visions" and...

Does anyone know of any companies that don't require you to goto Canada? I've got a boxer that travels with me and I do my own shots and I was told that I can't go in because of that. So any clue what companies to check into? Oh and I drive a Sprinter w/ sleeper.

I worked for them for a short while and all my loads went one way. Had to deadhead back to either Indiana or Ohio to get another load. And when your doing that on your own dime it gets old expensive pretty fast. Especially when coming back from GA or AL.

Thanks for the information guess I could give a try. Right now they are offering a "free test drive" so at least if there isn't anything I can haul I won't be out and $$. If there is then I can always subsribe to it then.

I was wondering if anyone uses this and if it's worth the $$. Also is there freight on there for cargo vans? I have a Sprinter 2500SHC and lately it seems that I'm taking an awful lot of one way loads of 5-600+ mi. Then deadheading back (on my dime as my company doesn't pay dh) 2-300mi to...

Why yes highway star it was. I will never forget the look on his face when I told him he'd have to face my GSD it was priceless. :)

On a side note I too had a fun experience at an automotive plant one time. I had a small box weighing oh maybe 5lbs so I carried it into the plant set it down on a cart in the recieving area. Handed the clerk my paperwork and waited. As there was several semis ahead of me, so I was going to...

My all time favorite one in KY says "Tattoos while you wait" at (I think) Tattoo Charlie's. I mean come on how else can you get a tattoo. ;)

I travel with my Boxer and it is working out great. In the warmer months he gives me a reason to get out of the truck and walk him. Therefore causing me to get exercise. ;)

That's a good one. Thanks for sharing Lawrence, I don't like football so I didn't get to see it.
