    DEF fluid is dead!

    Along with the pollution control breakdowns that afflict newer Sprinter and others. This hit me sideways, it's from a manufacturer that I made a complete break with, old or new vehicle (a junior tech forgot to fill the antifreeze in our MPV at a recall service, we were phoned to come pick it...

    Didn't I mention the turbo resonator and hoses? Funny, that subject came up in conversation.

    Uber Freight

    Well spit it out, UBER. Do you have cargo van loads and what are the rates? That being secret sets off my bull**** alarms I am pro-app and eagerly awaiting a finished product. Kind of useless to me when my company keeps me loaded every day at above bid board rates tho

    Congrats to all in the 6500 mile club this week :eek: I'm afraid to post what I'm doing. I put the "ME" in TEAM Let's just say I'm still gainfully employed...

    Color spectrums for long night runs

    I found the light thing interesting. One van, I made all the interior lights red (even the dash lights) and had far better night vision than before. Of course, a newer van with the brighter halogen reflector lights kinda made a bigger difference than red interior bulbs. So I find the light...

    2012 Mercedes Sprinter 144" 3.0 Diesel Opinions

    Yeah, I used to agree. Bought my 2005 Sprinter for that reason. And yes, I still think its better than the new one. But after replacing the transmission control board, e brake cables, steering u joint, engine wiring harness, alternator, starter, fan clutch, blower motor, egr (well kinda sorta)...

    MAY all your dreams come true!

    Good timing to fix this then (not hot in Ontario...yet...) Think it was broken. Turned down a $700 run yesterday, but grass cut, buick and sprinter fixed, laundry and dishes done, kids know my name again, and allowed to sleep in the house! Wife was sick and instead of telling me she just put...

    Can you get a commercial ticket in a Sprinter?

    He started a thread on Sprinter Source too. Yes it was speeding that brought things on. I basically told him the same things

    MAY all your dreams come true!

    Wife-o-meter says I have over $10,000 into mine in a year, but that includes purchase price. I bought it as a basket case stuck in second gear Training to own one of the newer vans. My E350 Ford needed nothing for 1 million miles in engine or transmission.

    MAY all your dreams come true!

    I feel a little better now. After spending $1700 myself (no labor cost) it worked great for a few thousand miles and now it falls on its face below 2000 rpm with clouds of black smoke. My guesstimate, along with the under and overboost codes, is a cracked seam on the turbo resonator. Holds 70mph...

    MAY all your dreams come true!

    12 hours unbroken sleep was nice on a busy week. Forgot to mention...after crossing Alexandria Bay if you hit "avoid tolls" in Google, and you happen to be headed to West Virginia, you'll be treated to a spectacular Sunday drive of scenery, driving thru and on the edges of a valley that...

    MAY all your dreams come true!
