    Sprinter Smoking

    Hi An oil analysis would tell you if this smoking is causing any premature wear.NAPA sells the kit.Blackstone also sells a kit and does the analysis.But the fastest way is take it to J Care in Indy they have a kit with a hand pump so instead of removing the drain plug you can just extract oil...

    Crock Pots and Steamers

    money

    HI To make $120,000 a year in a van you would be killing yourself.The human body can only take so much and in my opinion that is way too much.You would be running 20 hours a day with 4 hours for sleep, showers and meals for 5 days per week.Most carriors will not let you run that hard and for...

    What is Lucas Oil Stabilizer?

    Ford tranny fluid

    Hi The only problem I have with syn. is the price.If I could extend the flushes long enough to make it profitable I would.Are you extending your flushes?Have you switched to the 6.0L cooler yet? I've been reading some pretty impressive thing about them.

    Ford tranny fluid

    Hi Just found this out.If you have a Ford deisel never put Mercon 5 into the tranny.Even though some Ford manuals and dealerships recommend it.It will cause early tranny failure.Use Mercon 3 only.Mercon 5 is for tranny's behind a gas engine and Ford didn't change it in the owners manual for...
