Yep, sprinters are not good as company vehicles, the people who drive them have to pay attention and make sure little problems don't become major problems from neglect.....

Purchase some street sweepers so that they can clean the parking lots at the rest areas so they don't smell like......you know....

Does your sprinter graveyard have a bad transmission that you could sell the output shaft flange assembly from it???? I have a bad vibration on mine and I don't want to pay $275 for a new one....

Speaking of hoods, here is how I had to fix my hood: And here is the pic of my radiator repair

On my 2005, the parking brake adjustment is on the end of the brake handle, if you turn the little knob at the end of the handle clockwise, it will adjust it tighter. When I got my truck there was almost no resistance to apply the brake, found out it wasn't working at all, twisted that a few...

At least you were able to take a reset in a warm place!!! Just seen some pictures my daughter posted on Facebook of her car buried in snow in Ohio, glad I moved down here !!!

Didn't see your post until after I did it, but I did use the 1/4 inch tap and nipple, spread some jb waterweld on the threads and around the connection and everything seems to be good. Also i got the dayco 5080555 belt and it is perfect, I can see the tensioner and it is right in the middle...

Rockauto showed a different belt number in addition to the gates number that was wrong, went and searched it at autozone and low and behold, they could order it, 26.95, told me it would take like 4 days to get, but 2 days later they had it. Went right on without any problems, but in my attempt...

No diagrams on Google, can find pretty much everything else on there, but not that diagram.... Cut the old belt and measured it, 55.5 inches long, so Gates has it wrong, wonder if they are the ones that screwed it up or if they are just copying somewhere else.

I am going to have to check, the only other way I could think that the belt could be routed would take an even longer belt (or at least that's what it seems). There is no routing diagram anywhere I can find, but I have it going from the crank, up to the water pump, over to the alternator...

Ahhh yes, Havre MT, out in the middle of nowhere, must have a train broke down.....Took a load from GE in Grove City PA to there in my truck once.....

Ugh, I went to replace my tensioner and serpentine belt, didn't go to the dealer, but Oriley's show the belt as a K080514 Gates, and the tensioner as a 38659, so I went to Ebay and ordered both, now the tensioner was identical and went right into place, but the belt is too short when compared to...

Wow, that was fast, thanks!!!! I would have figured about 2 hours myself, but I didn't know if the book said that the radiator had to be removed, when I did it, I just unhooked the 2 side braces and leaned the radiator forward a little and removed the fan and shroud. Im at home in Lakeland...

Do you know how many hours labor the book shows to replace the front main oil seal for my 2005 268? I show that it needs special tool number 380100029, when I searched that number, it shows like $550 for that tool so it looks like I would be better just paying the dealer to replace it. I have...

All those signs I have seen for elk, I just wanted to see one once, but I never did see one....of course my luck if I would have seen one it would have been in front of me.....

I don't recall seeing signs that they take cards, there were 2 toll stops before OKC they were $4 each and then 2 stops going around OKC those last 2 were only $1.15 but there were no attendants so you had to have correct change.

That is for the single trip permit, I think it's easier to just get the 30 day permit which is a flat fee according to the GVW of the vehicle. I can't find the table for those charges online but I can't see the permit for a cargo van being more than $30 or so.

On the positive side it's going to be sunny and in the 70s!!! I hope I get a load heading home to Florida but either way I'm leaving Thursday morning, so I can start my new job Monday.

Registration or Use Fuel Permits Here is the link to the Arizona site.

Any commercial vehicle over 6000 pounds GVW that does not have apportioned plates with Arizona listed on the cab card needs to buy a permit when entering the state, I'm assuming you will be on I40 just stop at the weigh station and they will take care of you. There is a way to do it online...
