    What part is this

    Found a water leak at this part on my 2005 sprinter. If you look in the middle of the picture you can see the part. There are 2 lines into the part plus an electrical connection. One line goes up to the egr valve and the other to piping.

    Dream truck setup

    Per, US Supreme Court, searching a vehicle without probable cause is illegal. Just because you get stopped doesn't mean police have a right to search or even call in a canine unit. Court said they have to issue the ticket or release you in short order.

    price of fuel
