    Gang initiation

    What if "gang initiation" is RTA bus driver code for "my drug deal went bad! They took my XTC and my money!"?

    Respect for the flag

    If you want to get an genuine, true blue (and red and white) American flag, get one made by Annin Flagmakers. Their American flags fly above the White House, Capitol Building and every other federal building in the country, above every US embassy in the world, used in every presidential...

    Dodge Promaster

    50 and 50? Wow. The perceptions and misconceptions about Sprinter never cease to amaze. Not so much for warranty work, but if you have an older year Sprinter, back when they were Freightliner and Dodge, there were 382 Dodge Sprinter dealers alone, plus the Freighliner dealers. Here's a PDF list...

    February, the short month !!!!!!!!!

    And you need to be able to laugh at those mistakes when they're funny, 'cause they're funny. This was hilarious. :D

    Hospital refuses patient release

    It's absurd, I agree, but it's true nonetheless. It's certainly something that can be researched and verified. It happens with alarming frequency. The reason is, reports of abuse are categorized into three broad disposition categories - substantiated (founded or valid - different states use...

    Respect for the flag

    Probably not. The headline grabber is the numbers the US Census Bureau released showing 94%, or $3.6 million worth of flags imported into the US were imported from China. The other 6% were imported from India (3%), Taiwan (2%) and Other (1%). That'll get the talk show hosts seething and fuming...

    2004 Sprinter Limp Mode

    Sorry, you confused me when you said, "It was the EGR valve," when describing the reason for the LHM.

    I see that. But you can't send it without inputting a Reason number. Yeah, they need to fix that so the Send button stays grayed out until all fillable fields are fully filled (and a check so that the return date isn't in the past).

    February, the short month !!!!!!!!!

    I do think on the Vehicle Service Status page, where on the left under Vehicle Information, it lists Vehicle ID, Vehicle Type, Current Status... it should also list Projected Return Status if the Current Status is Out of Service. But that's a Fleetvision thing. On a completely unrelated note...

    February, the short month !!!!!!!!!

    I just thought it was funny, how that message said be sure to do this, this and this, so we won't bother you... and after doing all that (which I always do anyway) it didn't make any difference. :D I have a feeling he's just looking at trucks that have been OOS for more than 72 hours...

    Changing companies?

    The Turtle Wax is good, any kind of GooGone, goop, 3M, will work. Just heat the lettering and peel, then use an adhesive remover to remove the adhesive, then a good degreaser to clean it up. For adhesive remover I use the Sprayway 894, and for cleanup (and more serious adhesive removal) Heavy...

    Obawacare Truth....Personal Experience

    Kinda, but not really. It's the subsidy you get, if qualified, that is based on your income. The rate of your insurance premium is not. Everybody gets the same MINIMUM coverage, not necessarily the SAME coverage. Depends on which plan they choose. Some have higher deductibles, some are lower...

    Obawacare Truth....Personal Experience

    Clearly, you have a grave misunderstanding of what Obamacare is and how it works. I can understand how being miffed at Obamacare in general would be the case, but I'm not sure that being mad because Obamacare forces insurance companies to write policies for pre-existing conditions isn't a...

    2004 Sprinter Limp Mode

    Yeah, 'cause everything else about a Sprinter makes perfect sense. :D LHM due to dirty EGR valve. Then they cleaned the EGR valve, and when they resinstalled the EGR valve the stripped the bolt holes on the EGR valvle, which caused not only a coolant leak but a boost pressure leak. Repaired bolt...

    Sooo, I'm OOS, Reason Code: 6-Repairs, with a listed "Projected Return to Service" date and time of tomorrow (Tuesday 02/25/2014) at 0900. Today (Monday 02/24/2014) someone from, I can only assume, Panther calls me and leaves a voice mail telling me he's checking on me to see how I'm doing...

    Hospital refuses patient release

    If you're going to make a statement of moral judgment like that, you need to explain it. The name of the game is survival of the species, and on this planet the way that's done is through propagation of the species. There is no homework involved, no written test, no license to obtain. It's a...
