Unfortunately it is not that easy. Many of the 10 or so computers in a sprinter are VIN speciffic. So, unless you plan on reusing everything from the older sprinter, like dashboard, and shifter and abs and esp and xxx and yyy modules, you probably will run into issues that you will be pulling...

I wish I was in Houston now. I've been very pleased with how the whole state of Texas worked for me this year. Or maybe I have been lucky.

Right lane most of the time to avoid being passed on the right.

Hurricane Katrina and $5 a gallon fuel taught me very quickly to slow down. They ingrained it in my brain so good that I have been doing it ever since. I cruise at 60 mph indicated, about 57 mph actual. Once in a while I drive faster because of a tight delivery time, but I don't like it. Not...

We dont need no voodoo dolls, or garlic. Murray, Sally and Chris got our backs. They watch out for us like hawks. [emoji102] [emoji102] [emoji102]

Nice. I got my home run, kinda... Will get there Friday. Time to clean up the trees and branches that fell all over, remains of the ice storm we had. I work harder when I'm home than when I'm 'working'.

Another Laredo? Nooooo.

That stinks, especially with the availability of radiators.

When did I40 in AR deteriorate that bad? It's been a few months since I drove on it last time, but I dont remember it being that bad. Sunday when I went through there at one time I thought I was in NYC.

Have to add a bit of info. I parked 10 min away from delivery last night and slept about 9 hours. On this load I have 24 hours to drive 800 miles, so plenty hours for sleep. One thing I will not do. I will not drive tired. If I need to sleep I will be oos and will only take a load when I am rested.

I love LIFO. After delivery just pulled in to Walmart, didn't even finish doing my necessities and I got another load picking up at noon in Chicagoland. Showed up at 10 and it was ready. Now NC bound. Feels like the good ol' days when I used to put myself out of service so I could sleep.

When I moved up to a tractor Fedex CC required a road test at one of their approved schools. That took care of the lack of experience. After a few months I moved back down to my trusty Sprinter.

Happy Birthday Big Man. Question: Do they make a 2500 extended? I thought only 3500 come extended. Anyway, I hope it will give you years of trouble free service.

I spent my week and a half when I was stuck at home wisely and did my taxes. Got a good size refund direct deposited into the bank. Now the question is, what to do with all that money? I could put down 10% on that brand spanking new Sprinter, ride in style, be stressed out and work like a slave...

The only advantage is that you don't have to worry about IFTA. Just fill up wherever is the cheapest pump price. If you drive a vehicle over 26k you have to buy fuel where your cost is cheaper, and that is not where the pump price is cheaper. A little more calculation, that's all.

From what I read hear and there, the process of dis-assembling the Sprinters in Holland and re-assembling them in South Carolina adds about 7% to the price of the Sprinter. If they build them here they can either sell them at 7% less and be more competitive with the other vans, or sell them at...

I passed that Discount Tire in Baytown yesterday. If you think TX tax is high don't shop in AL or TN. At least TN doesn't have state income tax.

It is official. http://blouinnews.com/82133/story/daimler-spend-500mn-s-carolina-van-factory

Greasytshirt, my wife uses vinegar to clean windows. It smells when she does it but I was surprised the first time she used it how quickly the smell disappeared. I really dislike the smell of vinegar, but it is no problem.

Yesterday it was close to 80 degrees in Lake Charles. Today it was 32 when I left, and sleeting.
