    Sprinter life expectancy

    Dealers rip you off. I have heard of $400 oil changes for new sprinter. However, I do all maintenance myself. Save lots of money that way. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Cell phones

    To root the phone means to get root access to your phone. In other words, you 'crack' the software on the phone and you can do with the phone other things that the manufacturer and cell company prevents you from doing. One example is that I can get free wireless tether, instead of paying $30 a...

    Sprinter life expectancy

    I will have that available by the weekend. That, and fuel cost per mile. I am curious too. But I suspect my maintenance is a lot less than 8 cents per mile. Stay tuned.

    Cell phones

    I rooted my phone and I can use wireless tether, but I only do it when I need the internet for short periods of time. The battery on the evo is pretty bad to begin with, and when you turn on the wireless tether, you can almost see the bar going down. I would be dead in about 3 hours, I think...

    The discount I get is because of my previous job. Pretty hefty discount.

    Cell phones

    I have an HTC evo 4g on Sprint. I have unlimited text and data, and unlimited calls to and from any cell phone, no matter what company. Also free night and weekends beginning at 7. And I think 450 extra for anythingelse not included in the free stuff. I tether my laptop through the phone. Price...

    Sprinter life expectancy

    I am working on adding up all my expenses and fuel costs and mileage and parts and everything that went on my van for the 400k miles. I added it up a few years ago and what I saved in fuel cost over a v8 gasser would have paid for a blown engine and transmission. And the higher the fuel price...

    Security Tape

    If it was my straight truck or my trailer, they would have to not use the tape, or take the load off. When I was in a tractor, I picked up a few LG loads and they put that tape on the FedEx's trailer. What a mess that tape left behind!

    def blue tech for sprinters

    I wouldn't carry any with me. Just wasted space, since all truck stops carry it. I've even seen it at walmart.

    Asking for load/rate over qc before taking

    Guido, I wouldn't call them stupid. Some people just can't do anything about it. Not everybody can go to Load1.

    V-6 or V-8?

    I know a guy with a Ford V6 with 650k on it right now. Still running strong. I don't know why you guys hate the V6 so much. As for me, I only have a poor old inline 5 cylinder engine. :)

    Tire discounts for van tires

    I tried a Discount Tire shop in the Atlanta area and they told me they do not participate in the Michelin program. They might not have wanted to mess with it though.

    Tire discounts for van tires

    I have bought a set of tires with the FedEx discount. It was a pain though. The only tire shop that I found that participate in the michelin program is NTB. They messed up a code and charged me more than they were supposed to. After a few calls to michelin they fixed the price. Then, a month...
