For the 07 and up, the gasser goes 10 k with an oil like the 0w40 Mobil that you use in your 06 and older diesel. The diesel at 7 bucks a quart is still 91 and then you need the filter. The big savings stopped in 2007 with the new emission rules. You guys with the 5cyl 06 and older, hang on to...

Rlent.....I gotta be RESPONSIBLE too?!!!?:D

Finding as in, I want to buy it. I love my Sprinter but the way MB handled the emission requirements left us with a van that needs 13 quarts of this hard to find, expensive 229.51 oil, and an EGR valve that is not suited to the NA marketplace fuel standards. Plugs and wires on the gasser (with...

Where are you finding the ESP 0W40? That saves $650 if available. Below is the constantly updated MB list of 229.51 oils. Mercedes-Benz Operating Fluids-Extranet

This doesn't affect the pword to call in to the VRU does it?

Hopefully they get cheaper to service OVM, right now in those 250,000 miles, an 2007 and up Sprinter will set you back $3700 just to change the oil and oil/fuel filters. That is with aftermarket parts and extending the fuel filter change 3 times longer than recommended. In that $3700 you haven't...

Grew up a few miles away from Alliston in a little place called Ivy. It looks nice now Jack.....come back in February!

Morton Travel Plaza just east of Peoria IL. Waiting on the big storms to roll in for entertainment. Nice place, clean $5 showers and free WiFi! Should be havin a nap tho!

Hell of a way to boost attendance at the Expo. Paging Mr L....

I think it boils down to this, (for the class 7 and under crowd) Freightliner , most truck for the least money, large dealer network with many open 24hrs, parts are cheap, it's really not a bad truck, have a choice of engines International, no choice of engine (International only), they have...

First, I would really like to retract my 'Game Changer" comment a few pages back because by the sounds of it, it won't be...at least for a while. I am dissapointed to hear that the length is not 16 foot. When I originally saw that it had the same cu ft as a Sprinter I never imagined they would...

Load planning was unavailable due to a meeting last week one day for a few hours. If it's all barbeque related I see a visit to Green in my future!

Point taken.:)

Good post Greg but..... Anyone at FedEx who chooses this way to operate is not going to do very well for very long. We do not have the same situation here that you do where you are for sure but there is more to it than that. There are some of us at the purple place who do OK and don't just...

If you think this is about driving a truck raise your right hand. If you think this is about running a business raise your left hand. All those with their right hands up or without their hands in the air, please enjoy the show and come back next year when you are ready to be serious. Sorry...

65 or lower.......period!! Anything above and you get the fine. Lower is OK. The time for "discussion or debate" at the scalehouse is over. Comply or pay.

In the equipment part of that theme... One of the larger fleets up here has ordered a bunch of new trucks that are sparse on creature comforts to say the least. Such things as tilt steering and cab insulation have been deleted (even tho they are standard on the model ordered). The fleet owners...

Can I change my vote? June was good, July Has been a big empty bucket of poo. Weeds growin up around the truck:eek:.

At home, 7 days, nary a single load offer. Been that way for all FX Canuck vans since last Thursday. Is this the summer slowdown starting? Hope not. Pretty pathetic when you start phoning your own phone just to make sure it works!!

Different setting in the ECM and possibly some subtle changes to the turbo and injectors, nothing that would seriously affect reliability or change the way you perform any maintenance
