    2005 Sprinter second and reverse only

    Update: I elected to save the 227 plus tax and turn the blower on myself for them (was working when I parked it) so they called back and said the parking brake shoes were disintegrated as well as the backing plates. Now the fronts were rusty enough to turn to powder and the emergency brake was...

    2005 Sprinter second and reverse only

    I mic'd them, and the worst was 20.7 the shop legitimately passed them. But they didn't check first. And 1 strand broken on e brake cable, that's picky.

    What Are Your Sleep Management Tricks?

    Never get sleepy behind the wheel, that's why I do this. Except traffic. All my vans have had a hole cut in the door, or window removed, for a fantastic fan blowing right at my toes and a second one, portable 12v aimed at my face over 90 degrees. A bunk or comfortable area is a must in a van...
