    European MB Sprinter competition.

    Don't worry, we will be paying that much for fuel here someday too. How do you think they get "FREE" health care? They do a good job on the roads but I don't think they have as much traffice as we do. Remember one thing, we build our roads on the lowest bid. Layoutshooter

    Inverter or Generator?

    I don't need to charge my batteries when I am running, my engine alternator does that. The RV solar pannels work good to keep batteries topped off when they are not being used and your engines is not running. What we need to do is cover the roof of the trucks in solar panels to develope a lot...

    Beware in Dallas

    We are not allowed dogs. We do have some kitchen knives and a very large Mag-Lite. I think I will get some bug spray as well. The pepper spray is not legal in Canada or California or many other places. Layoutshooter

    Beware in Dallas

    Best thing to do is get a run and not sit there. There is no need to carry a weapon in Canada. They have VERY strict gun control laws that keep the guns out of criminals hands. YEA RIGHT!!! Just like it will here. Layoutshooter

    Stop! Read! Sign! Pass It On!!

    I bet Karl Marx would sign this but I won't!!! Yes our government is no longer responsive to the "little man" but that is OUR fault. WE let them get away with it. WE do not require them to do thier job. How do we do this? By not voting. By voting in the same goobers that were elected last time...

    According to the A/C tech all the pressures were within specs. They spent several hours running tests on it both with a cold engine and when it was up to temp. They checked the figures with 2 other shops, all agreeded that all the pressures were correct. The one shop told me about the EGR...

The fan still comes on and runs the entire time the A/C is on. On Freightliner told me that on the MB engines it could be a problem with the EGR or EGR...

    Battery Powered A/C

    10AMP per hour draw will run down most good deep cycle batteries in 10-12 hours. The math is simple. If you have a 100AMP capacity battery and pull 10AMPS per hour it will last 10 hours. There are some other variables but that will give you a very close ball park on run times. Battery AC units...
