Several years ago I met a Sprinter driver from Canada who had a standard steel 55-gallon drum (200 liters) mounted inside the van on the passenger side in front of the wheel well, but sitting partially over the foot well at the rear of the sliding door. He had a 1-inch hose running out of the...

In most states, vehicles with a GVWR of 10,001 pounds or more must stop at the weigh stations. In a few states it's 26,001 pounds or more. Michigan says "all trucks" but they have conflicting definitions within their own statutes. If you get stopped for not pulling into a weigh station in...

Ah, new information! :D Until you can actually get it weighed, I'd go with the MC published spec of 5539 curb weight.

Thus may come as a surprise, but they have places where you can go and get your Sprinter weighed. :smile:

Sprinters are named, at least in the newest lawsuit filed in April. ML 320 and 350, GL 320, E320, S350, R320, E-Class, GL-Class, ML-Class, R-Class, S-Class, GLK-Class, GLE-Class and Sprinters fitted with a BlueTEC diesel engines are involved. CO2 and other emissions are directly related to how...

No.

Beeeecuz the dragon took it away from you and won't give it back?

That's true of most stories about most carriers. It's the bad stories that are most often told, because that's where the complaints come from, and it's the bad stories that are most remembered. "My carrier gave me a load that I had no problems with and they paid me on time," is not one that's...

I carried two pallets of cheese from Wisconsin to Kansas City once. That was pretty bad. It was great at first, but after a few hours it got to be a little much. The worst was the pallet of powdered butterscotch flavoring from Cincinnati to Albuquerque. I used to like butterscotch.

A True Canadian would be comfortable in their slippers on the snow.

The FMCSA doesn't regulate, and thus have no authority to regulate, vehicles that do not meet the definition of a Commercial Motor Vehicle. Sulfuric acid (sometimes known as "battery acid") is a Class 8 hazardous material which requires placarding at 1,001 pounds or more, so unless you were...

The steel wheels is 177 lbf.ft ±7 lbf.ft (240 N.m ±10 N.m) The light alloy wheels is 138 lbf.ft ±14 lbf.ft (190 N.m ±20 N.m) Early on, like 10 years ago, the high torque of Sprinter wheels made people at tire shops really do a double-take on it. Whenever I had tires rotated or any work done I...

Don't go by color. The color doesn't matter as the correct chemistry comes in several colors. G05 coolant can be yellow, dark red red, light red, bluish-green, and even a dark blue. What matters is HOAT. It is just a cooling system that should have specific long life HOAT (hybrid organic acid...

It's not a bad idea. The mantra with Sprinter fluids really is "Stick to The List. Always stick to The List." But as with most anything, there can be exceptions, provided you make those exceptions with knowledge and intelligence. After the fuel itself, the engine oil and transmission fluid...

Yes. I'm due for another brake fluid change pretty soon, as it's been 5 years, or thereabouts. It's a 2-man job generally, and requires the special Sprinter/MB/Chrysler tool (or a DAD). You certainly don't want to get any dirt, oil or other contaminants in the brake fluid. A small drop in...

If you're raising yours, anything at 60 or higher will give you a lot of relief. Personally, I'd want it to be high enough that I could stand upright without hitting my head, but mainly anything over 56 inches will get you more freight, as there are a lot of things that are 54 inches tall...

As long as the fluid has not been exposed? They should be able to get their money back for whatever they paid to get certified. Brake fluid gets "exposed" the instant it gets installed into the vehicle. All Glycol based fluids, including brake fluid, is hygroscopic, which means it attract...

The rear end is gear oil is one of the few fluids that isn't all that critical, provided you stay right there in the 80W-90 and 85W-90 range. Most any API GL-5/MIL-2105-E SAE 90 Hypoid Gear Oil is going to fall into that range. You just don't want to go below 75W (viscosity at cold temps) or...
