Good morning it's 70 degrees and sunny in bustling Newcastle Ontario Canada...thinking I'd better get the A/C working...time to rush the honey-do list before the wife gets home so it looks like I didn't spend all my time watching Netflix...

BOTH wow...as an expediter you likely carry a change of underwear :) before too long I'll attack the visible rust underneath with that conversion paint then thick rustproofing...also have wands and a few gallons of the stuff for inside body panels...

Small update. Turned rotors just a smidge, pads ok . . . Brake lines exploded when touched, so fluid got flushed with 4+, after power steering and rearend oil ready for safety!

For the courts I guess. Makes for interesting reading on my weekend off I'm waiting for the transits to drop in price. My Ram Van cng has been certified as an ultra low emissions vehicle in each year it was produced. I like diesel, but propane in Canada and cng in US have usually been half the...

I never followed past the headlines, do the owners of the vw's fail emissions and have to park them? Agreed on emissions. One of the first things I'll do is tune out the egr on my 05

Bored enough stuck at home to do some research. Story originally broke Feb 19th, no sprinters named in lawsuit just cars and suvs. Mercedes-Benz facing lawsuit over BlueTec diesel emissions

Second call for long run. Missed opportunites for wife's weekend total so far about 900 dollars (net). Still driving the couch to nowhere

Thanks I get zero ( unless you call cash price for credit a discount) just making sure I wasn't missing anything, haven't used diesel or gas since 2012

Handgun permits here are harder to get than a nice running Yugo

I do have a sword under the bed...

If you're good with the flywheel defects, it's a good van. Mind explaining the 20-50 cents off the pump price? Is that a carrier perk?

If you haven't pulled the trigger yet, go thru the forums with a fine tooth comb. This is unlike anything you've ever done, and if you had all the information you need, you would know why asking about income is a pointless question. G license up to 26000 IIRC, with hydraulic brakes . . . yes...

What do you do when a pos van is your main income? Buy a pos car? :D Save some of every pay. Myself, I have to get it taken out, I'm not disciplined enough

I'm out. I'm beginning to realize just how different the US operating environment is...thanks to HighTide tho first thing I'm doing is sealing off those vents in the cargo partition of the sprinter... (Edit: make sure that lawyer works off commission they're worse than a bad carrier by the hour)

Don't do it. The raised roof will actually bring down the value and change the stiffness of the van. Insurance has some wiggle out room as well since you modified the van in a major way.(missed the roll cage, you'd have to call your insurance) Unless it's got a zillion miles sell it and buy...

Carriers used to pull shenanigans when they owned the plate . . . back in the day they were perfectly willing to charge you with theft if you didn't comply . . . at best you were left where you were unpaid for that load with an unplated/invalid insurance vehicle needing to be towed

Get the lawyer now. Don't wait (call 8;) Buffalo area will get that) push it till you win. We've been in court 6 years and finally won, they stall and stall so you'll give up. Don't

Happy birthday!!! It's an excuse to party, now that you've got a room

Anything blue-tec. It's at the stage now where epa is doing a review and has requested the information on how Mercedes-Benz does testing. The lawsuit by owners is a separate thing, dangerous to operate, the one test result being quoted is 8-19 times allowable nox in low temperature testing. It...
