    Sprinter Survey

    Ahhh ... got it ..... Personally, I wouldn't be inclined to do this myself ...... raising the center of gravity 11" would be significant I would think, although you would have six tires on the ground which would offset (but not eliminate) any increased instability to some degree. First place...

    Sprinter Survey

    No idea on 3 vs. 2 .... I only have 108", same as Turtle ... so I never get 3 full-length pallets (unless they can be stacked) - I sometimes do get 3 or more smaller pallets/tubs/bins. Again, on the tall freight (over 60") I dunno ... don't really track it - probably something on the order of...

    DOT/Trooper

    Very good post Turtle. Yes - this is true - however it is important to understand that the definition of a Commercial Motor Vehicle varies from section to section of the FMCSR's - in some instances, a van would be considered a Commercial Motor Vehicle (broad definition) and the regulations in...

    Sprinter Information

    Not all Mercedes dealers are going to be selling/servicing Sprinters, just as not all Dodge dealers did (I think there are around 100 in the US who will) - it requires a specific commitment from a dealer, in terms of technician training to service the vehicles, inventory, and probably space (the...

    gun grabbers at it again

    Careful - a little bit of self-delusion goes a very, very long way ..... :rolleyes: Yes, I have no doubt that at least in this respect you are correct - with a few more like: "kill first, question later ..." and "It's time to implement the border system the East Germans employed ....." ...

    gun grabbers at it again

    Picture an adolescent school kid, sitting at his desk and the teacher has just asked a question to which said kid believes he knows the answer (doesn't matter if he really does or not - just that he thinks he does :rolleyes:) ...... and he's sittin' there squirming and twitching like he forgot...

    Leo, I always make it a point to read what you write - some of it is actually good (business, etc.) - but usually when it strays into the area of politics ..... mostly you're the type of person that someone needs to keep an eye on.

    Life sure is getting silly....

    Yeah ..... uh-huh ...... :rolleyes: It's not hard to understand that with both praise and flattery being truly seductive, they are highly desired and sought after - but unfortunately, they both are cheapened immensely when they come from oneself ..... not to mention the pain one will have to...

    Advice on a 2003 Sprinter....

    I think OVM's went around 450K b4 he had to replace his .... and I think he paid less than $7K for the replacement, although I could be mistaken.

    Life sure is getting silly....

    Well, a snail certainly isn't profound .... but I hardly think that is what you meant. :D I'm quite relaxed, thanks - it's pretty much my chronic state. FWIW, as far as uproars go, I wasn't the one who replied using an emphatic "NOT" (as in "My statement was NOT incomplete.") And I never...
