I inspect every morning and evening. Takes a whole 10-15 minutes of my time. I do the same routine everytime. I drive a New van, but that means nothing to the bolt I found in a tire a few weeks back. I was able to locate the nearest tire store from my last drop and had it fixed in about 10...

Thanks for the info. Do you know if doing your own oil changes voids the warranty?. I refuse to go back to the Dodge dealrship in my area they have ripped off or atleast tried to do so to a few guys I know. I found a MB Tech with 30 years in the business and will start going to him if any...

>Does your buddy know the torque the mechanic recommends? I will find this out and post it.

Funny thing is the dealer told my buddy a similar story. He was smelling fumes in the cab so they told him injectors leaked and damaged the header cost $5000. So he took it to a mechanic that worked on MB engines for the past 30 years final cost $1000 thats with a few new injectors and some...

I just got me a Sprinter as well. At my first oil change I asked the head mechanic at the local Dodge dealership and he also stated that the new EGR valves there was no need to worry about the idling.

A driver I work with is having to have all injectors replaced and the heads replaceds. He only has 120 thousand miles. They [Dodge] told him his injector sleaves slipped causing damage to the injectors and worked its way to the heads. I am no mechanic so I am sure it was more stuff to it. He...

A buddy of mine has this set up. He runs a Wireless card and from that wireless card he has a pigtail connector that runs to a 1 amp booster. Then he mounted an antenna to his mirror and has had a very good reception so far with this setup.As mentioned above Netstumbler is a great program to...

right around 5200

I drive for EGL and so far love it. Now granted I am still wet behind the ears as far as Expediting goes there might be better companies out there I am sure. For now I am content. Although EGL has its share of headaches they are easy to deal with. I use to drive a cargo van and for me to make...

A little extreme but you could use one of these http://www.biorelief.com/store/traveljohn.html or for the number 2 use this http://bumperdumper.com/bumper2.htm :7

Nope. I am tagged for 10,000.

The floor is raised. There is a 2 inch I-beam between the box and the frame. Here is a picture of it http://tinyurl.com/au9zq. .I started driving it this week and it does great.Heck it just feels good not to have to bend over everytime I need to get something off my truck. As I mentioned above...

when I am out on the road I like to use wireless myself. I always wanted rest stops to offer this service , but have not ran across any that do. So what I normally do is park at a truck stop thats near a hotel that offers free internet service. They have a wide range of coverage so I usally pick...

Well the ramps worked. I am maybe a half of an inch higher than the dock but this is usally worked out once the dock plate is extended. The truck sits sturdy and does not budge even while moving pallets in the cargo area. This will do until I find away to have automatic lifts. :7

>Is your cube Sprinter a 6 wheeler? Yes it is.

Well the reason I want to be dock level is for a number of reasons. One I will be hauling to a few places that do not allow vans. If I can atleast get dock level I could deliver there. I will pull pallets off myself so there is no reason for a lift to enter box even if it could. Another is the...

I just bought a sprinter 3500 with a cube. My question is there a way to have hydraulic lifts installed to raise the van to dock level. What I had in mind is the same concept of a RV's leveling system that would raise the van just the few inches it needs to be level with the dock under any...
