Dayum, is pretty bad when a WaPo cartoonist shreds your narrative like that. It's funny, because it's true. Same.

I'm not sure how positing the notion that non-commercial vehicles are going to become more in-demand really reaches the level of advertising.

If you have the luxury, ask a few people locally, who is a good mechanic. Most of the stuff you do to a Sprinter you don't need a Sprinter tech to do. Brakes, water pumps, alternators, transmission swaps. It's been my experience that if you find a shop that's been in the same crappy, rat hole...

So you know who's going to install it? Mine was installed by my regular, non-Sprinter mechanic at home. They don't have a bay tall enough for thy Sprinter, so they jacked up the front wheels and crawled under it to do the swap. It also turned cold and rainy that day, so they skirted the van...

I do not do it myself. I have it done at either my regular (Non-Sprinter) mechanic at home, my Sprinter mechanic at home, or at Wayne's World in Toledo. I have the pan dropped and the filter changed every time.

I concur. I really don't think I'd recommend BG ATF Plus for a non-Silverstar transmission. It is a friction modifier and requires the compatible clutch materials (or, as noted, the trans is already slipping and is on its last leg, anyway). The only reason I use it is because Silverstar...

The interval recommendations have certainly changed over the years. In the manual for those early Sprinters (mine is 2005) flatly states change the fluid "once only at 80,000 miles." A lot of people did just that, and then replaced the transmission at 250,000-300,000 miles. Turned out, if it's...

Top notch. I change the fluid every 35,000 to 50,000 miles, erring closer to the lower figure (per Silverstar recommendation). The OEM transmission lasted me 372,000, which is in the middle of the typical 350,000-400,000 shelf life range of the OEMs. The Silverstar has 401,000 on it now, but I...

I have a Silverstar in my Sprinter. The book time on a transmission swap is 10 hours. The real time is 5-6 hours. Any experienced mechanic can swap it out.

Carbs are what you put the good stuff on. :D

Thanks for the update.

You'll get one. Picking up right back where you deadheaded from.

The difference between flirting and sexual harassment is whether or not she thinks you're cute. Never forget that.

Yeah that's what I recommend to all newbies thinking about getting into expediting - buy a reefer straight truck.

To add to what the others have said, first, when you get into expediting, you are literally starting a small business. It's the same as starting a business as a construction worker, a plumber, a cosmetologist, a lawn care maintenence landscaper. Your success or failure depends on no small part...

That's a really good video. It's like it was shot and edited to a story board. Very impressive. And the drone shots were prefect.

Yay Tim!
