    Sprinter Mechanic in Detroit/Toledo area

    I heard the term before, it seems that they use somethings to impress the 'customers' that they care. As for the Diag, I paid about the same for my truck at the dealer. The thing is, and I don't know if other software does this but the dealer's stuff does access the ABS and the body computer...

    Tranny Trubs

    I am assuming that they are using Packard weather pack or Hirschmann connectors (connectors that are supposed to be sealed with a rubber booty thing). If so, the problem is that the seals on the connectors may be bad, both on the wire end and boot end. Delphi who makes the Packard connectors...

    Sprinter Mechanic in Detroit/Toledo area

    The computer software is not an issue. Most of the service software can read the codes, and show what is wrong. The dealers software can write to the ECM and the body computer. As for the independent dealers, I would still call the two Mercedes dealers, talk to their service managers and ask...

    Sprinter Mechanic in Detroit/Toledo area

    Did you call the Mercedes dealers in the area like the one in Bloomfield Hills or the one in Novi Michigan? I know that they service a few of the G wagons, so I can see that they may service the Sprinter. Do not go to the Dodge dealer here in Redford, and I heard mixed reviews about the dealer...

    Secure parking lots?

    Soundguy, I would recommend to do this, it will cost you 20 or so bucks to do it right. Take your empty sprinter to the nearest truck stop, fill it up and get the thing weights at the scales - $7 or $8 bucks. Go in and get the yellow ticket and tell them you will be re-weighing the van...

    This is only at T/A? I have not seen more than a few truck stops where you can say they don't suck. ;)

    Secure parking lots?

    Like I have been saying, it don't matter what others do and get away with, it only takes once to get one guy or gal who will ruin your week. May even make you miss a schedule event.

    Mitt Romney,champion of the working man

    Tallcal, let's be frank about this, it is not a real democrat/republican issue and you know it. The failures of the administration should not to have the blame placed on one party, the Dems themselves are to blame just as much as the other side of the isle. They remained withdrawn during the...

    Are You Ready For This???

    Raynchk, nothing will help the domestic auto industry until they get their head out of the sand and focus on market needs. They are still telling the same old "it is health care cost" lies and wants the government to bail them out by providing people who make 100K plus tax payer health care at...

    Not really .....but my dog can rip into the garbage can looking for cat food and run around the house with a cat food can stuck to her muzzle knocking things down and scaring the cats half to death. :D

    With a little help from my friends

    Oh now it tells me I got friends, I feel warm and fuzzy. :o Now the only thing I don't get is the green square. The mods (and one former mod) have more than one while us common folk have only one or am I missing something?

    CA Idling and Carb laws

    Jack, Sorry but this is really a boring reply but may be interesting. The issue is not about the instate truckers being effected, the issue is the inclusion of all truckers who operate on federal roads. Anti-idle laws are one thing but to ban a truck because of emissions from using federal...

    The VENTING Thread!

    OMG, T-Hawk, settle down. First thing is JFK’s EO 11110 was not about removing the power of the federal reserve, it was about removing United States Notes out of circulation and allowing the removal of the clause Payable to the Bearer on Demand. JFK was killed, for what it is worth, for...

    Is that a typo? $55 a year? I am paying $55 for just the d*mn processing fees for the back taxes I owe.

    CA Idling and Carb laws

    Scuba, I may be mistaken but it is not if the truck has the 2007 emissions on it, it is if the truck is a 2007 model year or newer. There are trucks running with new 2007 emissions in them but they follow the model year of the chassis. Also I hate to say this but if we are concern, write to...

    able to claim?

    I do, it is a requirement for me to have in order for me to work that I can not or do not need outside of the truck.
