To tune or not to tune. He's very knowledgeable. Start looking around page 30 or so.

I'm sorry that I'm not understanding this exactly. Your saying the tune as it was will still be there? Nobody will have to make introductions between it and the new engine? Somebody mentioned above that they thought it might need to be retuned. Somebody also said I should go to Linden in Golden...

No, I guess it was the no frills tune. That's great to keep in mind. Thank you.

Physical health is fantastic if you can keep up an exercise regime while on the road. I recommend Plant Fitness and the healthier portions of the grocery store. Over-night loads are just easier if your fit, and carrying a jumprope to use if falling too far asleep while driving works out much...

It's a shop specializing in Sprinter fleet repair. After my conversation with the folks I gather that they have the correct tools and experience for a job like this- however I did not mention the tune. Several other shops in the area did not like my tuning language and so I thought it best to...

5w40 full synthetic right? DM said he knows they are responsible. JL will buy me a new engine, and pay for a rental vehicle etc. I've found a local shop to do the install and they found a new engine 14,000 for everything, which, Northern Bill (#greatly appreciated) Toledo SP LLC said was a...

I will probably do the long tow. Still looking for receptive locals but probing on the telephone has not created confidence. I know JL is bad but I didn't imagine that unscrewing the filter, draining the oil and filling it back up with a new filter could become this. Really.

Thank you. That is good to know. That makes me wonder why Mercedes would set the oil change interval at 20,000 miles on their maintenance schedule.

My van. All dealers will report apparently. 118000. Freightliner told me not to bring it in. I won't even bother Mercedes. I probably have money for a repair, and though I have not consulted a lawyer, the district manager seems to recognize they did this. So my insurance company needn't become...

It's 12.1- quarts. I think it's kaput because when I tried to drive it off the engine lagged and knocking began almost immediately. By the time I turned around it started making a loud metal on metal banging. That's where I'm at (I've been in uglier spots) I need to tow it for an assessment. But...

My thought is that if it needs a new engine they won't be able to deal with that without getting involved with the tune, and if that happens maybe they won't give it back to me without untuning it, and charging me for all the parts that go along with that

It's the tune. I had the oil changed at a jiffy lube because I thought it couldn't possibly be any easier to change the oil on any vehicle and I was sold the wrong tools. They did a pressure check without putting the full 12 quarts in and now the engine is most likely kaput. My tuner told me to...

I need a sprinter mechanic in the Kansas area urgently. No dealerships. Any and all recommendations appreciated.

If you have steady work I have the desire to connect with you. Sprinter with 190+. Five years of experience. I like the people I work with but I'm sure I can do better by working outside of the daily bidding process. Please contact me with more details. Alex

Hi, I'm from Denver but I didn't think it was possible (profitable) to run out of that area, so four years later I'm still on the road wishing I could get home to see my mother more often. Do you work with a broker who knows the area? I drive a 3 pallet sprinter.
