    CSA 2010 and vans

    'zactly ..... ;) To anyone who believes that vans aren't regulated, try this one if ya really think DOT don't regulate vans: Haul freight with no authority, MC number, or the required insurance ..... And then let us all know how the DOT views that ...... :rolleyes:

    CSA 2010 and vans

    Yup - that's exactly it. And what should we expect ? ...... when we have all sorts of lawyers, bureaucrats, and Lord-knows-who-else (Joanie Claybrook ? :eek:) involved in making up this stuff ....... ..... as opposed to ? Yup, yup, and yup. Was talking to my wife day before yesterday ...

    CSA 2010 and vans

    Dennis, I would suggest that before you actually go spouting off in here about what you think you (or someone else) knows, you too, might also wish to avail yourself of the advice I gave to greg as regards the various definitions above (along with reviewing any applicable FMCSR's that would...

    CSA 2010 and vans

    Greg, I would suggest that you actually read the relevant FMCSR definitions with regard to what constitutes: 1. a commercial vehicle 2. a commercial motor vehicle Additionally you might want to have a look at the definition of what constitutes: 3. a motor vehicle Each one of these has a...

    CSA 2010 and vans

    Well, doesn't look like that if you read most of the CSA 2010 materials out there from FMCSA - they constantly refer to Commercial Motor Vehicle drivers .... Vans are not always commercial motor vehicles ..... although sometimes they can be ...

    Re: Sprinter and the backyard mechanic

    ...... or just too impatient :p ...... which is my son's problem - after trying it a couple of times and not getting the correct timing to achieve the result, he was ready to pull his hair out and threw in the towel ....:rolleyes: Me, I'd much rather master something I set out to do ...

    Re: Sprinter and the backyard mechanic

    Because if it's stuck at 9,999 it must be broken (no movement ..... ;)) FWIW, once you exceed the ASSYST recommendation and fail to reset it, the counter still should work and continue counting - it's just that it starts counting up in negative numbers. I once reset the ASSYST on one of...

    Re: Sprinter and the backyard mechanic

    As long as you understand that the above is really a PR answer (from Mobil) .... Mobil could easily publish the TBN if they choose to .... (the oil does have one) Of course, it's a differently engineered oil ..... it's specifically engineered to avoid poisoning emissions systems that come on...

    Obama "I am a Muslim"

    Obama "I am a Muslim"

    Re: Sprinter and the backyard mechanic

    I would be extremely leery of using the above oil for that length of mileage, particularly in a diesel application ..... unless one was using a bypass filtration setup .... Primarily because Mobil does not publish a Total Base Number (TBN) for that oil in their specs ...... and due to the fact...

    Re: Sprinter and the backyard mechanic

    My son recently had to do oil changes on his '07 and '08 Sprinters, so I decided to check with a couple of local dealers (1 Dodge/Mercedes and 1 Mercedes/VW) on oil price and availability. The Dodge/Mercedes dealer, who was one of the Dodge dealers slated to get the axe, has had a (recent)...

    Caterpillar claims C9 unsuitable to task

    This doesn't relate to Leo's situation since he apparently doesn't have a bypass on it, but I believe under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, CAT would actually have to prove that the bypass caused the problem in order to legally deny coverage .... Hold their feet to the fire LDB and make them...

    Yup - although it should really read as follows :D: "Why trade 1 tyrant 1000 miles away for 100 petty tyrants 1 mile away?" ;)
