    Just some sprinter observations

    Can anybody chime in here and tell me, does your signal assembly and key move slightly when the column is locked or does it not move? Was a secondary reason for taking it this far apart, they insisted on doing the u joint for safety....fusebox ignition key and signal / cruise all move slightly...

    Couldn't find my ECM. This is why First pic is all the aftermarket wiring I took out, from dead cb wiring to stereo/dvd/gps/dead backup camera, even a bunch of cat 5 cable! Last pic is why it's still apart...was a red wire hanging down under steering column, had .16 volt signal key...

    Just some sprinter observations

    Just some sprinter observations

    Ok Turtle...heres another hypothetical...as you know, the SKREEM module on sprinters will cause a "Start Error" when something goes wrong...leaving you with a dead Sprinter that needs modules shipped out at great expense, or a dealer repair at even greater expense. It's on my terror list of...

    Better gas mileage and no limp mode. Ask an Australian. Their T1N' s had no egr Oh, and if everybody did it, the air quality around cities might go down; then again, the large factories buying pollution credits put out so much there might be no noticeable difference at all...

    How many Miles do Ford Alternators last?

    My single longest lasting replacement one was the Import Direct brand from O'Reillys auto parts...just about 400,000 miles...no idea why, probably a fluke but they're cheap GOOD junk All my Ford alternators would fail between 300,000 to 400,000 if we're talking original...buy the spare now and...
