    This poll honestly makes no sense.

    Install satellite radio

    The fm module that comes with the radio as far as working in a sprinter is junk. The one you purchased may put out more power, I think the ones packed with the radios are only one watt or less. When the radios first came out they were 3 watts but the government made them lower the power because...

    Well at least there is a little good news out there. Toyota Motor Co. will resume construction on a plant in Blue Springs, Miss., to build Corolla compacts, a change from the planned manufacturing of the hybrid Prius. Toyota Aims to Open U.S. Plant in 2011

    Install satellite radio

    Not sure how to take the radio out but here is what I did and it worked very well. Get rid of the fm module their junk. Unscrew the antenna from your sprinter roof and mount the satellite radio right under the stock radio. This worked very well for me and you would be amazed at how many normal...

    "Touchdown Jesus" Burns....

    How would you know it was a waste of money. That statue might very well have brought a very large number of people to a church they chose. I would guess there must be about 2/3rds of the people in the area must not be comfortable in their own skin if a statue that people would never associate...

    Sprinter conversions

    I just met a person with a conversion by this company. They were not real happy with the final results. They went with them because the price was about 1500 cheaper than I think it was Midway which they had in their previous sprinter, not 100% sure on that but it was an Elkhart IN company. The...

    Flying J no Showers in future

    Do the older body style have a bigger tank? At just under 3/8ths of a tank left I can put in 15 gals. Even when almost on empty I do not ever remember putting in more than 24.something. I have to get under a 1/4 tank to put in 20 gallons.

    I would say most companies are cargo minded.

    Flying J no Showers in future

    To put 20 gals in the sprinter I drive would mean running the tank lower than I am comfortable with on a normal basis. If I am going to spend ten bucks on restaurant food it sure isn't going to be at a truck stop. I could never eat two foot long subs in one day. For someone with a bigger tank or...

    Who told you this? People have been told the same thing in the past by counter people there and it has turned out to be false.

    Restroom Rage

    I do not think I would tell someone to wash their hands in a case like that. Some people strike out when they are embarrassed but I bet that guy washes his hands more often. That being said I was at the Dallas J a couple weeks ago. Some idiot reaches up to the soap dispenser takes the lid off...

    How foolish some members are....

    I used to be driver mgr and then opps mgr for a large courier company and did the driver recruiting. Here is how the numbers worked for me and I would guess work for most companies. As far as recruiting goes oos % has little impact on available drivers per available load. A carrier needs x...

    Sprinter PM results

    I wonder if those pads are any different than what is on the 07. I do not drive hard and try to brake slow and easy. I got front pads at about 200,000 and rear brakes and rotors at about 270,000. I did not drive it for about the first 155,000 so maybe that had something to do with it.

    please help me out!

    You do not need a cdl to drive a van for the majority of companies out here. There are several good companies who do not require them. There is one of the big boys who does require one that I would personally never drive for again, they just have way to many vans out there to compete with. It is...
