    Sprinter preventive Maint.

    The oil stain begins at the bottom of the filter, on the same side down the block...a year or two of ignoring it and I'll be able to see it better

    Possible treatment for my daughter's disease SMA-1, first ever...trying to get registered trumps going out for a silly delivery...should I dare hope? 2010 - head of pediatrics says "you're not trying to keep her alive because you think there'll be a cure are you?" :p (Maybe it's off topic...

    Now if everyone had listened to me and switched to natural gas...you could have put a tarp around the tanks and chopped the supply line...would have blown the load right out into your van :D (Lawyers note: this advice is purely hypothetical and humorous and could result in serious personal and...

    Cargo Van When to replace your van

    Bearing and overrunning clutch are fine, just the electronics bolted on are shot...cheap spare if I fix... I was inspired to check it out, it's still way underpowered (vw tdi 2.0 car motor in various power outputs) but they were complaining it only gets 37 mpg (imperial gallons) and the others...

    Expedite companies that lease on older vans?

    Maximum he can get, and I see the contracts as proof. Pay is good if the chitchat in here's accurate, and his direct customers are really good Our previous carrier in common stopped looking for backhauls years ago, so imagine all those runs you took with a guaranteed unpaid deadhead back home...

    Factory Espar is connected to factory starting battery. My "hybrid" deep cycles are happy being starter or deep cycles (simple marine batteries) and charge off a wire attached to the front battery post. Not ideal, but simple, effective, and they last 4-5 years. This gives me 2000 cold cranking...

    I don't know whether to run the Espar power source to my deep cycles or just leave them all connected...it risks running the starter battery down but it's zero effort because they're already wired to charge from the starter battery...anybody know the draw on the espar / coolant fan/ coolant...
