I don’t mean to rain on your parade, but they are the same vehicle and it only matters which dealer who you feel comfortable with. Yes it is true that there is 24 hour service at some freightliner dealers, but I talked to a few and they said that they will not service any Dodge sprinters...

Ali I drive a 1999 GMC G3500 Diesel, my fuel mileage is about 17 MPG and the cost per mile is 48¢. This cost includes everything to run the van and business but not wages or food. My intake is average 70¢ per mile, sometimes better. My average miles per month is 7000 but that may change for...

Ok I am wondering about something; How much time does it take for the dealer to change the oil in comparison to the quick lube place? The reason I ask is the labor charges are too high at the dealer and if the quick lube place takes 20 minutes to drain, change filer and fill than it seems that...

RE: Got Ripped off and do not want the same to hap All the times I spent time in the north hinter land aka Canada), I always sent in my vat/gst refund paper work. the duty free shop by the bridge in Detroit is privatly owned, or was a while ago. I worked with the owners son and learn a bunch...

I am wondering what ever happened to D-C's polcy that thier five star dealers need to be competive with other service centers? $110? do they go to Germany for the filter and oil?

Whiterabbit The test is really not too bad; I was totally unprepared for it and had to take it twice but I did pass. The second test had 40% of the same questions that were on the first test. I don’t think the pool questions are large to begin with. I would highly recommend you read the...

Whoa, wait a minute If you want to know what vehicle you can take your test in, ask your DMV. Different states and different testing facilities have different requirements and I know I can not take a test in a car in my state. Same with the hazmat endorsement, check with the state. I don’t...

simon says Don’t mean to yank your chain but you don’t know what you’re talking about. First I never saw or remember anyone dancing in the streets when Nixon resigned. Even the stupid hippies (war protestors, Free love, etc..) I knew weren’t dancing about it but rather stunned by it. I...

Thanks for the response. I am trying to find an email address for the company to propose a test to find out what, if at all the advantages of AirTabs have with the popular types of trucks we use, Cargo vans, Sprinters, Class 7 straight trucks and Class 8 straight trucks (using some of our own...

BigDiesel The problem as to do with idling the sprinter for any period of time. The EGR valve gets clogged with the carbon from the un-burnt fuel. This problem was supposed to be solved in the 2005 model but I have heard people with 2005s still having the problem. This truck was designed for the...
