    Feedback needed for Sprinter

    Mine turned out to be a bad water pump seal. If large quantities of coolant is lost, that'll be something obvious, but if small quantities are lost at regular intervals, it's harder to track down, as it's probably only happening under full pressure. It might be a water pump seal, or even a...

    Seal on truck

    Re: Special Seal RE: Seal on truck Finally! Thank you for that. This thread has been grating me since someone started talking about seals with green balls. Clubbing these poor seals is bad enough, but the casual brutality of cutting these things with bolt cutters makes me want to cry.

    How Do You Pay Expenses

    My VISA check card ( checking account debit card) for almost everything, except for Comdata card for when I fuel at the TA. The only thing I spend cash-cash for is border crossings and any surprise tolls I run across, I usually keep a $20 on me for that. Works out great when people hit me up...

    Tripp ? Tripp ?

    Three or four years ago, whenever it was that ESPN had that big 25th anniversary, they did a piece on now many kids were named ESPN. Some were ESPEN, some were ESPIN, some were even just ESPN. I think one was ESPY. It was a hoot. Last report I saw said that ESPN knew of at least 22 kids named...

    Young Samuel, oh, OK, got it. One thing you need to be aware of, and if you're so inclined it's buried deep within the link that Scott101 provided, is that more than likely, the charging system of the truck will different than the charging requirements of those gel batteries. The truck's...

    Israel attacks Gaza, 195 reported killed

    I don't think they mean it. Among the many chants of, "Death to Israel," and "At your service, Gaza!" the tens of thousands of Lebanese Hezbollah supporters thronged a huge square and nearby streets in the militant group's stronghold south of Beirut, carrying Palestinian, Lebanese and yellow...

    power source

    well, just a few ideas, just tossing them out there.... you could use the gel cells under the bunk for power. Or, you could use the gel cells under the bunk for power, or, for that matter, you could just use the gel cells under the bunk for power.

    WOW!! A TAX on MILES DRIVEN is on the way!?!?

    "Wait, they are still going to keep the fule tax in place also!!" Yeah, "for vehicles not equipped to pay the mileage tax." You wouldn't be paying a mileage tax and a fuel tax at the same time. The problem with the mileage tax, among many, is that the 1.2 cents is based on the current 24...

    The UAW'S Use of the Bailout

    It's not even a case of taxpayer funds, really. This didn't just start happening. It's a case of astonishingly widespread and large scale greed and corruption from top to bottom in the UAW that affects what we spend on cars, parts and repairs, while all along trying to make us feel guilty and...

    Well, $1100 a month for a "van usage fee", which is really a lease, isn't really all that out of line when you consider that part of that would be the van payment, insurance and other expenses, plus a portion that would have to be set aside to cover any and all maintenance beyond oil changes...
