    Bring on Turkey-vember

    Dropped without incident...barely on time, shipper's nuts to send out of Toronto at 4 pm, adds hours of time...but that's why they need us I guess Camping at the Mountain Energy Travel Plaza, 3 miles from drop. I know there's a mountain of garbage here the employee's don't have the energy to...

    Bring on Turkey-vember

    The stars aligned. Toronto to North Carolina. When I can work there's nothing, when I can't they're busy...at least Murphy is staying away from the van

    How many miles on your Promaster

    Thanks to both of you for posting the "outcomes" I'm sorry it wasn't better, I've been following this. And thank you for sharing, this is the van I've narrowed down my replacement of my sprinter to (mostly due to mpg) Please post when a fix is found, or the lawsuit succeeds, I don't think your...

    Flying J/ Pilot Fuel Rewards

    I think if I can get it, and stop going on half hour detours for cheap fuel my life would be a lot easier...that's their justification for the higher price, they're right there when you need it I've never been afraid at the inner city cheap diesel stations, but I have been annoyed by ladies of...

    Boo ... its October

    I think you guys forgot about the sprinters. Last run I was trying to reset the triple abs light by pulling over and restarting. Restarted too soon, got going, and although it said D there was nothing, no 1st -5th, coasted to a stop and shut it down a little longer. Restarted and managed to get...

    2006 and earlier Sprinter cheap blower alert

    Update: blower "died" again Tore down motor and on close inspection, saw the brand new brushes were connected with brand new copper wire that seemed to be too long...it was shorting out in the internals ..so I carefully repositioned it and have had no problems since. Solved the mysterious code...

    Flying J/ Pilot Fuel Rewards

    Canada Oh Canada! Ontario Insurance Rates

    2006 and earlier Sprinter cheap blower alert

    Just thought I'd save someone else the aggravation if you are cheap like me and buy stuff off Ebay Bought a new blower and resistor this year, cheapest I could find on Ebay...chinese 10$ resistors do work, but the casing is not for the NA sprinters it seems so you have to glue it in with some...

    M11 ELC antifreeze

    I don't have one but thought it'd be fun to look it up. As long as it's fully formulated, which it sounds like, you don't need to add additives e.g. filter package until the first filter change. And no shop I know of would do 4 flushes much less distilled water so I think you're good Here's a...

    Boo ... its October

    A game it is. Natural gas heats a whole whack of North America and they don't put that price up for vehicles. Must be a whole lot of people stocking up on diesel to heat this winter. I know, just being sarcastic, if that's this year's media talking point excuse then that's what it is. Just...

    Boo ... its October

    Nobody answered my diesel question...its 2.45 - 2.79 around me and I chose to drive 2 miles farther for 2.29 Is this the long slow trip back up or what? Much more and I'll be looking at natural gas again...
