Pre-booked for next 2 days!!! I can pay the ransom on my sprinter ....central ontario WV and points beteeen...

Negotiated a 1000 dollar cheaper price. Between that and 150 so far and 150 to repeat this at another shop since I'm on the road I gave the go ahead

So in for safety, mechanic said rotors were turned and they're not to be turned, so front and rear rotors, wiper blades, emergency brake cables are rotted, emergency brake out of adjustment, fan not working (heater fan) I explained it's not ontario law, just a mercedes tech bulletin . . . if...

Rustoleum Rust Reformer in US (tremclad here) rustproofing is Rustcheck green (thick long lasting in spray can) and normal rustcheck by the gallon for interior panels...not sure if rust check is available in US it's clear and non staining, safe for electronics

As a side note, sprinter 2500's had different metal thickness and chassis bracing than 3500 so 8550 is likely 8550. Tank will be useful only on lighter loads it seems And yes, all of you were right

Never get sleepy behind the wheel, that's why I do this. Except traffic. All my vans have had a hole cut in the door, or window removed, for a fantastic fan blowing right at my toes and a second one, portable 12v aimed at my face over 90 degrees. A bunk or comfortable area is a must in a van...

Going for it. I have 2 people that want it if it doesn't fit, it's 18" high and 36x36 bottom and 26x36 top, includes skidplate

In for safety...WOW what a nice ride compared to a ram van . . . fingers crossed

Back to the weight thing . . . i can title this sprinter for ontario at anything I want weight wise (with an actual mod to the suspension to make it a reality) I realize DOT would go by the door sticker but for locals . . . i doubt the frame on a 10000 plus box sprinter is anything different...

Unfortunately I live here . . . they won't let me in except to visit...planning on 60 miles per hour i'll have the road to myself

That's the range on a long and tall? Thanks Scott, usually that will work but some weeks have been Canada only

Told the carrier 2750. He's got a couple sprinters at 2000, some at 2500, and a couple at 3000. Obeying the law, this just doesn't seem fun anymore...first call was 2 skids at 3300 today. What's next, maturity? Responsibility? Paying taxes? Back on topic there's not as much depth back there as...

:popcorn2::starwars023:

True enough. Can't predict anything on the open road. What I'm seeing for freight now could be due to my 6 ft 7 inches cargo area and natural gas only van. When I'm empty tho, loading up with 1.89 diesel on the way home:D

And I'll be filling in NYS to save money! Still 25% to 40% cheaper depending whether I can go thru Irving or not ;) be paid back in a few tankfuls

Very helpful turtle exactly what I needed to know. Bobwolf only a newbie to open road (and sprinters) I had a route before. Think I'll have to make sure I'm legal and dump the tank to a drum at home before a heavy load, turn it down if I get stuck out with the aux full...lots of hassle to save a...

Thank God I didnt buy the Ford srw cube and add a 1000 lbs of propane and cng tanks to it

I do get all that. Just trying to figure out how the sprinter van fits in here, I've only driven in NY PA and OH up to now . . . never have I even considered being checked for weight, and the sprinter doesn't give you much...im trying to reconcile this with stories about people titling sprinters...

Ignore that. For ontarians under a CVOR yes otherwise it's not regulated here. Other provinces don't have CVOR. But all pickups and vans use commercial plates (black lettering instead of blue) I should retitle this thread to "like a moron I'm going to add a 500 pound gas tank and all the sudden...

Thanks . . . and to avoid posting another thread ;) I'm confused . . . i get that I don't need to scale, but I technically have canadian commercial plates....any truck or van not used primarily for personal transportation must here, separate of the under 10000 lbs . . . how does that work when I...
