Not just your average dropped call. This time I dropped the phone on a gravel parking lot and shattered the glass face of the touch screen (Motorola Droid X). I thought for sure I would wash my bluetooth ear-set in the laundry before destroying my phone. The question--how rugged is the touch...

The advertising tab at the bottom of the page interferes with the photo viewer function. Even when the bar is "hidden" it makes any clickable function in that space unclickable, so it is not possible to scoll through a set of pictures with the previous and next buttons. eb

The past two years I've had a recurring check engine light that kicked out no error codes or error codes that made no sense. It finally came on hard and steady in April of this year, and the error code indicated that the diesel particulate filter was failing to regenerate. Problem was that the...

It appears the fuel prices at the top of the page are reversed between diesel and gasoline. eb

What was it that I saw in Laredo a couple weeks ago? There were two 53 foot trailers full of baled animal pelts at a warehouse. They looked and smelled like they could have been road kills. I don't know which way they were crossing the border, but someone is apparently invested in smelly...

I just got around to making my own cable to by-pass the alternator/battery cable that is problematic on some sprinter models. This job is related to a previous discussion in a subthread linked here...

188.5 laps in a sprinter van equals a mile, and it takes 55 minutes to cover that distance. eb

This thread is my personal list of must read topics. I've modeled it after greg's suggestion for a current faq list. I will link to threads and specific posts that I think are of benefit to the general membership, but biased towards vans...

For those too lazy to meander to the top of the page for the search tab, I've included a direct link to Advanced Search here: Expedite Trucking Forums - Search Forums The purpose of this thread is to suggest search criteria for common sprinter related topics. Please verify that search...

After a recent oil change I spent a little extra time and drained what was left in the bottles. I rung out almost eight ounces from twelve 1 quart bottles. I save $1.40 for an extra half hour of work per oil change. Or I save $16.80 annually. My dad would have been proud of me. eb

As a service to my fellow forum users and to maybe help Jack's nerves (my own as well), I have beefed up my signature line. eb

Did I just witness FedEx lock a thread about FedEx? I'm referring to this thread: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/43095-fair-warning-white-glove-dog-owners.html I counted four people who figured out what is currently going on, but lockage is attributed to one...

I knew there was another question I wanted to ask. I'm very close to making a Droid X purchase. Anyone know how well the excel apps work on it? I made a simple little rate planner spread sheet that lets me calculate information related to a load when dispatch calls with an offer. It's one of...

garmin nuvi 755t & review First run with my garmin nuvi 755t. Trying to decide whether to keep it. Does anyone know if there are any nuvis that let the user set their own typical max speed? The 755t seems a little too smart for my use. Sort of like a Steve Jobs dictate. Since the unit...

May need some help from old timers on this one. Does anyone know the hand signal for smoking/hot brakes? I know the middle finger sign and the sign for flat tire, but today I needed the smoking brake signal for an unsuspecting smoker. eb

Seems to be a lot of first hand experiences with deer strikes this season. Would those involved or those knowing some of the details be willing to share some of the nonpersonal details like time of day, visibility, type of roads, at what point did the driver first see the deer...? eb
