Sprinters are a whole new world...well to the US anyhows... You should read up on the history of them and get that North American diesel out of your head...ya get some bad habits...*LOL* If you are going to get a Sprinter it is a love to hate relationship..*L*

Sprinters had a BIG problem with the 04 and down because of the "dirty diesel" that America used pre ULSD rules..the egrs clogged up quite regularly...somewhere around 04 to 05 the NEW design self cleaning EGR's appeared....that really helped the problem for marginal idlers...

MB recommends idling at 2,000 rpm....ever heard these things at that high....sounds like a race engine!!

602,000 miles...and i have the original EGR...never been opened or had to clean it....:D

Absolutely..TS must be a management person....the program automatically tracks everyones income and is available with one click of the mouse...on a normal business day a good dispatcher has that split second to look... Dog..I gotta ask...just HOW many miles are you expecting/needing?

Look at my time stamp....just had a 3 minute hang up....while I waited for page to refresh/reload I checked my mail and was on Facebook....Firefox Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.16) Gecko/20110319 Firefox/3.6.16 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
