    Great truck found on truck paper

    I drove one of the brand new trucks that my truck was going to be traded in on before I bought it, and wow does my truck have way more power. The ride was similar, I thought mine had a rough ride because shocks and springs were starting to wear out, but it rode the same, so guess that is just...

    Sprinters & DEF

    Im going to throw my 2 cents in here, I have seen people with DPF issues and always took their Sprinter to a dealer for the oil changes. I have to wonder if they are not putting the correct oil in, for a DPF, using the wrong oil is very very bad. Dealerships will always use the cheapest oil...
