    FMCSA Says "Fung You" to Unsafe Bus Company

    When I was on the road and would see one of those busses, I would always think, that bus is a piece of crap, how do they get away with running it? Well, I guess someone finally noticed and took them off the road. Good for the FMCSA.

    New Sprinter 1st Oil Change Advice?

    I think the dealer service managers are the ones that think that all oils are the same....I bought a 2010 PT cruiser, they said that the first oil change was free, so I took it in there and they had an offer to pre-pay for 5 oil changes for 49.95. I thought that was a good deal so I asked the...

    Express Logistics

    Im approved to run with Express also, I have only hauled 3 loads for them, 2 coming out of Erie, and one picking up a package from the Baltimore airport. One thing I like about them is the fact that once you email/fax the copy of the BOL, you dont have to worry about sending in the original. And...

    Temperature Gauge on Sprinter Van

    One thing I noticed on my 2005 when I changed the radiator, there was a lot of junk between the radiator, the intercooler and the AC condenser, I bet in the heat of summer with the AC on, that would restrict alot of air flow and make the engine heat up more.

    Just did a quick search on Autotrader and found 3 2009 Sprinters, now those were only the Dodge's which I think was the last year for Dodge????? Probably more Freightliners for the 2009 model year but they dont list Freightliner.

    I will second that motion, going to drive my 05 until it rusts out and falls apart. then I will look for an 09, it does have a DPF, but there are aftermarket ones now that cost much less. I do all of my work on my vehicle myself, and for the regular stuff, the parts/fluids are more expensive...

    The new Walmart Supercube

    I think the person who wrote that article about how this truck fails the environment needs to take a chill pill, from what it sounds like to me, this vehicle was built as a proof of concept. If they like the results they are getting from this test and wanted to order lets say 500 trucks, I bet...

    iphone 5 Review from a trusted source.

    That is true, but it wont work for LTE, Verizon and ATT use different bands in the 700MHZ range for LTE, each carrier will get phones that only work on their licensed spectrum. Now if you were to get an unlocked iphone5, and swap the sim, both models support all the current CDMA, GSM and UMTS...
