Haha, Turtle jumped ship to FDCC. LOL.

Man, you need to slow down, WAY DOWN. My sprinter goes 600+ miles between fillups. I know mine is a T1N and yours is an NCV3, but still.....

Wow, some straight trucks get more than that.

Your sprinter has an electric fuel pump in the fuel tank, so no extra bleeding is needed. After you change the filter, just turn the key to on position for a few seconds, than back to off, and do this for about 3 times, then just start it. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

I had a Windows phone before this Android. It worked surprisingly well. If it wasn't for the lack of a touch screen, I would have kept it for a lot longer. It was a Motorola Q9C. Battery life was good. I absolutely hate the battery life of my evo. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

I would suggest to look at the camshaft position sensor. It is used only for starting, and it might be bad when hot. After the engine started, it is not used any more, so the engine will run, but if you turn it off, you won't be able to start it until the sensor cools of. Are you anywhere near...

Hope the load doesn't cancel.

Sky, I have 410k on my sprinter and never used fuel additive. Been with it in temps down to -5. Now, if I have to go lower than that, I will add anti gelling additive. Changed fuel filters every 60k and never had one clog. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

LOS and camper, Apples and oranges here. My sprinter is more fuel efficient per pound per mile than my VW Jetta TDI. So, I need to go shopping, or on vacation to Florida for a week. Should I drive the Sprinter which gets 26 MPG, or my Jetta which gets 50 MPG? Which vehicle will save me...

Dave, if you don't mind me asking, what happened with your Ford diesel van? Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Turtle, this is the best explanation I have seen on HAZMAT so far. Couldn't have said it better myself. Something to note, some carriers require you to go through HAZMAT procedures even if you only have a 5 gallon pail of paint. It is what they do. Also, these carriers require you to have a...

Before you replace that, check the codes with a DAD or DRB-III. You are in LHM (limp home mode). It can be caused by many other things. If I were anywhere near you, I would have checked the code for you, but south Dakota is kinda far. Lol. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Something must not be right. Can't be 3.5 gallons per hour. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

I like about my carrier: Settlement is always correct and on time. I don't like: Flat rate pay. Load opportunities instead of offers. Not 100% of fuel surcharge passed on to the vehicles. Not enough loads. What I don't like about ALL bigger companies (Load1 included) You cannot get a hold...

Nice ride Steve, good luck.

Well, speaking of trees, I am sitting next to a pine tree, not as big as your oak tree, but still. Man, I am too bored.

Ken, What are you going to do about those rust spots? Let me know, because mine shows them also, so this year I have to take care of that.

It was mostly hope that kept me here fueled by the BS that you get from the higher ups, coupled with the expense of changing carriers, and then doing it again if it didn't really work out at the new carrier. Also, my van is getting older and some companies don't want older vans. But now I am...

Chef, I used to drive the speed limit all the time, but the spike in fuel prices after Katrina made me change my habits. And I realized a few things. One, it is far more relaxing to drive slower than anybody else than to drive faster than them. I used to get angry when I wouldn't be able to pass...

Phil, I just read your blog, and understand what you are going through. I have been going through the same thing a few years back when they forced us van drivers to accept the flat rate of .85 a mile. I can tell you also that I used to be proud to wear FedEx CC shirts and hats, used to be...
