    2004 Sprinter Limp Mode

    Depending on the market, a Dodge dealer will generally be in the $90-$120 an hour labor rate, and a Mercedes dealer will be in the $105-$130 an hour range. It's not that much of a difference when you consider a Mercedes dealer has the expertise that doesn't waste a lot of labor hours. It's the...

    Cab Cleaning

    I know there's Mark's Detailing in Holland, MI that's pretty good. Does interior and exterior detailing. Interior starts at $125, but for a truck with a sleeper (+42 inches) it's gonna be closer to $250-$300. Wick's Sterling Trucks in Omaha has a truck wash and day spa where they'll detail...

    2004 Sprinter Limp Mode

    If the Valparaiso Dodge dealer is one that's very experienced in Sprinters, they're probably fine. But if they, too want to replace the resonator "and see what happens" because they don't know for sure where the leak is coming from, then my recommendation would be to hobble on over to...

    2004 Sprinter Limp Mode

    If you have a boost pressure leak which causes the limp home mode (LHM), when in LHM the turbo won't function, in order to prevent you from doing some real damage to the engine. When the turbo isn't functioning, the actuator won't function, either, because, you know, the turbo isn't functioning...

    Hollywood then and now

    I believe it was Thomas Jefferson who once said, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of innocents and people we just don't like living in other countries." Or something like that.

    Air Guns in Canada Basically, if the gun shoots a projectile at a muzzle speed of over 500 feet per second OR generates more than 4.2 foot-pounds of energy, it's considered a firearm that must be licensed, registered and everything else just like a real gun.

    onan question

    The RPM increase would indeed use more fuel than the Espar. By a lot. With an Onan and a ceramic heater, you've got three energy conversions going on (fuel-->mechanical-->electrical-->heat), whereas with the Espar there's just the one conversion (fuel-->heat).

    You mean those 146 year old bleachers who's direction has been dictated by its own politics since 1982? :D

    Self Protection

    A Super Soaker has the power and range over pepper spray, too. And the exact same stopping power as wasp spray.

    Hollywood then and now

    Excellent example of history repeating itself. I have little doubt that if we are attacked by a foreign power, or need to go fight a foreign war to defend our way of life, or dare I say, actually defend the Constitution of the United States, there will be no shortage of Hollywood elites or...

    Self Protection

    If by "their will never" I assume you mean "they will never," and by "they" I assume you mean wasps. If so, then yes, wasp spray is safer to use on wasps for self-defense than is pepper spray, and it's better to use wasp spray on wasps than it is to use pepper spray, and wasps will never hear...

But that is your public record. In reality, your driving record is your record FOREVER. That ticket your received when...

    Hollywood then and now

    That's an easy one - it's exactly the same number of Hollywood elites who get drafted to fight in a World War, plus those who joined up to beat the draft because of peer pressure from everyone around them who got drafted.

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

    Western Kentucky. My front yard. First we had freezing rain. Then it rained for 24 hours, which promptly froze. Then more freezing rain. Hasn't been above freezing in 4 days, so it's all still here. No snow, though. That white stuff on the ground that looks like snow is just frozen water.

    Republican or Democrat? Take This Quiz.....

    FWIW, I scored a solid 75% Libertarian. Apparently, I'm a big fan of personal liberty and responsibility, of truth, justice and the American Way envisioned by The Forefathers.

    412-366-6165 [email protected] I'd give you Wayne Rod's number, too, who I hear is supposed to be pretty good, but over the last year I've called him 6 times, left voice messages every time, and he has yet to call me back.
