    'See Something,Say Something.'

    I disagree. When I was his age I built a clock similar to his, but I went all out, made the circuit board also... I was so proud of it that I had to show it to everybody. Girls were the last thing I had on my mind then. I believe I still have the clock somewhere in a box at home. I need to find...

    I've always wandered how you keep track of the minutes at lights, etc. Care to elaborate? Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

    New York City still sucks even Sundays. But hey! I got a chance to shake off some of the rust off. I was just reminded why i like so much my diesel Sprinter. I fueled up Friday morning at a Speedway in New Jersey close to the GW Bridge for $1.899 a gallon. I made my delivery in Massachusetts...

    My experience has been the same. The few times that i did loads for Bolt and had to deal with their dispatchers, they were always nice, especially the guy in Charlotte. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

    Sprinter PM results

    Was this an original MB tensioner? Early in my van's life I had an aftermarket tensioner quit at about 40k miles after I installed it so I decided to use only genuine parts since then. No problems any more.

    You have Verizon prepaid, don't you? The prepaid phones only work on Verizon towers, ie, will not roam. That is why you don't have signal in western kentucky, parts of WV, NC, MO, etc. where Verizon doesn't have their own towers. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

    Cargo Van Van Purchase

    Not a million yet, but my 2004 Sprinter has 721k on the original engine and transmission. When I bought it, the salesman said that i should get 600k easily. So my plan was to replace it when i reached 600k. What i drive it past 600k is just icing on the cake. We shall see how many miles i can...

    Full Synthetic Oil?

    I don't buy into all the hype of synthetic oils. My 1991 Honda Accord still runs at 300k+ miles with nothing else but cheap SuperTech regular oil. My sprinter is at 700k+ on good old dino oil. The only car I use synthetic oil in is my 2011 VW Jetta TDI because there is no low ash DPF friendly...

    August. Where you at,

    I did the double clutch thing in truck driving school only. In the real life I would just float the gears. Found it to be easier. Oh, about the brakes, remember DOG. Free of Dirt, Oil and Grease. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

    August. Where you at,

    Sorry to hear Mark. Speedy recovery. Someone told me that she'd choose child birth instead of kidney stones in a heartbeat. At least with child birth the pain comes in waves. High pain, but then it lets go for a while. Kidney stone pain doesn't let go. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

    Cargo Van Bad market?

    Those who can, do. Those who can't, complain about those who can. It is a free market. Find a way to adapt if you can, or get out and move out of the way. I wouldn't have it any other way. I used to live in a communist country where it did not matter if a factory was profitable or not. Workers...

    Cargo Van Bad market?

    Oh, I remember 2008. But, I was still able to write a $13,000 check that year to pay off the van and become debt free. It took a lot of determination, beans and rice, rice and beans, no hot dogs, too expensive, but it was possible. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

    152k miles now. The camshaft job was just over $1900. He just finish his maintenance report and he was shocked. In the last 8 months he spent over $9000 in maintenance.
