    Sorry, but you don't get to post unsubstantiated, libelous claims about any entity here, especially within your first 10 posts as per the Code of Conduct. You don't get to state that you won't debate the good or bad about a company, twice, and then immediately proceed to post unsubstantiated...

    Sprinter aux tank

    One of my favorite drives. Oddly enough, especially in the winter. But on that route you get to literally drive through Big Sky, Montana. :) Oh, it could be just my mind. :confused2:

    No, not really, because you claim... ...which I did not say at all. I didn't even hint at any such notion. Yet you're somehow able to claim I made such a ridiculous statement. Why would you make up and then post such a thing? Or, worse, do you really think I said that? Bluntly put, your false...

    That sounds more like a personal issue rather than a systemic issue to be used as the basis for advising people against them with "I wouldn't trust expediter services with stuffed animals, let alone my business." The fact is, Expediter Services has an excellent reputations with mostly comments...

    Just ask for 20, one dollar bills and get over it...

    I know. I think. But if we have more important things to deal with than a face on a $20 dollar bill why change it in the first place? Why does it take 14 years to get the Tub $20 into circulation? Why do we still have pennies, since it costs 1.7 cents to manufacture each one? It won't be...

    Sprinter aux tank

    Thanks. I was doing that from memory, and I could have sworn I once saw a sign that said 8,000 pounds at West Yellowstone, but obviously not. I just looked up the actual law there and it is indeed 26,001 pounds or more.

    There was a thread on it in here a couple of years ago. I forget, and can't find it now. But it was discussed at more length in Mailer's thread from August of last year, a couple of weeks or so before you joined up. It's worth reading, I think.

    Thanks for completely dismissing my thoughts as unimportant. I really appreciate it.

    I agree with Greta. This is just stupid. I don't have a problem with Harriet Tubman being on currency. Personally, I'm fine with rotating out the people on the paper currency every 10 years or so. Or even putting the President on the front of, say, a 5 Dollar bill and the Vice President on the...

    Mercedes sued over emissions (vw over again)

    I'll bet that few VW owners will want to take advantage of the buyback, or use the option to have repairs done. A new (or repaired) one won't drive the same, won't have the same performance.

    The Great American Eclipse

    August 21, 2017, a Monday Mark your calendar and make it a point to see this. Nearly the entire Lower 48 will see at least a partial eclipse that day, with the total eclipse happening roughly 2:20PM Eastern Time. That's just the ballpark, at it will vary a great deal depending upon where you...

    2005 Sprinter second and reverse only

    Bower Motor and resistor can both be replaced in maybe 10 minutes if you really take your time. Removing that padded shielding will consume most of the time. Blower motor is 3 screws and the wiring harness plug and the resistor slides over and pop-a-tab out.

    2005 Sprinter second and reverse only

    If the fan only blows on 4 then it's the resistor that's bad. You can get those real cheap from Rock Auto. But 150,000 miles isn't all that unusual for the blower motor to go. They don't last very long and they are most a throwaway part. You can replace the brushes, though,

    2005 Sprinter second and reverse only

    New rotors are 22mm thick, and the minimum thickness allowed is 19mm, so with only 3mm to work with there really isn't anything there to grind. You will hardly find anyone who will turn rotors anymore, because few few manufacturers allow them to be turned. Sprinter rotors, like most of them...
