    Driving with yourSpouse

    Have you ever noticed how perfectly compatible H/W teams become when they both drive a commercial vehicle. There is no way when a Male parks the truck that it is acceptable to the Female. The truck will need to be moved at least oncemaybe twice before the Female accepts the spot which was...

    Sprinter Smoking

    If it's white smoke coming out it is unburned diesel fuel that has built up in your cylinders. This is common when a diesel engine idles excessively. It usually clears up after a few miles when everything heats up. Now black smoke is serious,could be bad injectors,bad filters, bad fuel and so on.

    A Tale of two engines

    Based on what has been posted on EO over the last few years I would stay away from the Cat and go with the Cummins.The Cummins is what is called a "wet sleeve engine" so it can be rebuilt without removing the engine from the chassis whereas the Cat would need to be pulled out,maybe rebored etc...

    lying owners

    If you have a contract that stated you would get 57% of ALL revenues that the truck earned I think you would have a good case. But a verbal agreement even if there are witnesses would probably not stand up in court,unless as someone mentioned you went up before Judge Judy. We stress over and...

    lying owners

    I agree the owner could have at least split 50-50 with the drivers who did the work. But as we all know there are 2 sides to every story.

    Engine in the 2005 M2

    I wouldn't be suprised if the oil change facility over filled it and the resulantant pressure blew a seal on the oil cooler. One time my local F/Liner dealer gave me 40 quarts insted of the 22 called for in my Cummins. I always check the level after a oil change,as to Speedco I have left them...
