    Assyst -18000 miles?

    So...in case of a problem, for warranty you need to follow timed intervals and not use their own assyst system...now that makes sense :rolleyes: My diesel E350 went at least 30000 miles on Rotella conventional, with weekly makeup quarts, over 1,000,000 miles and was still running with zero...

    I was an expediter again for two days!

    You've got the time, and the equipment, look into being an independent. You could make a lot of drivers and customers haply while building up that 401k Didn't want to suggest it, I know how random your ability to work must be. It's free to check it out

    Assyst -18000 miles?

    Well mine was black at 2000 miles...:)...that could get expensive...not worried about that, I just wonder about engine longevity, my next van will be a 2014 4 cyl as soon as they sell for under $5000...so 2028 if expediting exists by then :D My egr stopped contributing to soot in the oil so I...

    Assyst -18000 miles?

    Oh the oil was definitely black...but I did not use a drop between changes... I saw some talk about MB going to 10,000 mile changes, that's part of why I'm asking...do they want money or do the engines actually benefit...

    Assyst -18000 miles?

    Just a check in here, I chickened out and changed the oil at 16,000 (mobil 1 European 0w40) but it says I have 2000 miles left, which would probably end up being 4000...timed change or trust assyst? Oil analysis, I'd rather just change it...

    Orlando Terrorist Attack: 50 Dead, 53 Injured

    On that subject, anyone who carries or owns a firearm should have regular and comprehensive training as part of that responsibility. So many preventable deaths due to shootings, the easiest solution to me would be for people to responsibly exercise their rights, restricting guns is not a...

    Orlando Terrorist Attack: 50 Dead, 53 Injured

    Thought they were bringing it...always keep my eyes open for the next van, but so far the only thing I see to replace the 2005 sprinter is a 2014 4 cyl...canadians need to deadhead cheap, I'm averaging 22 mpg mostly at 70 mph...

    I was an expediter again for two days!

    Then lay in bed is what you need to do. I have no idea what level medical coverage you have, luckily in Ontario hospital coverage is forced thru our taxes but when you leave, without private coverage, other than doctors visits you're not covered, we've got crazy out of pocket costs...

    I was an expediter again for two days!

    Something for paid work that doesn't involve driving on meds is possible too if you insist on punching a clock...you just have to change how you made a living. Easier said than done, I know I've got no suggestions that way, my occasional expediting income is supporting us while I care for...

    You'll find something you can do again. This is what disability was made for, no guilt, you deserve it and no one not in your situation can even imagine what you're going thru. The wife is 35 and has disintegrating joints from arthritis, as well as EDS HD, migraines, failing kidneys and liver...
