    Dodge Is Going To Fix Those Pesky Sprinter Problems

    Remember the thermostats? you had to run them under hot water before you installed it because 3 out of 10 were faulty? The new EGR has a siliniod that can blow...it's no big deal. Why oh why do people go to a dealer for an oil change? Just lazy and not too imaginative. Oil changes are like done...

    The Federal Reserve, Friend or Foe?

    Guess i fed you guys too much fodder to debate...But Thanks for the lessons. I don't think either one of you are 100% correct because of personal beliefs being intermixed with facts, so I'll take it all in the context of which it was written and go on to explore more of the workings of the U.S...

    The Federal Reserve, Friend or Foe?

    You Americans must be pretty disappointed and confused, besides angry that your government has degraded to this point? The great American lifestyle has denigrated to this level. Capitol Hill is giving you lip service, you write your letters and phone your Reps and still nothing changes for the...

    Items that could improve Fuel Mileage

    Ok Moot point taken eastern Iowa isn't as hilly as the west side...but none of the hills are that extreme and you shouldn't have to gear down on any of them...And it's true about a tail wind....My MPG's are up when coming back from Rapid City to Albert Lea when coming back into service...

    Items that could improve Fuel Mileage

    How are your SS tires working out? Any issues, problems, good feedback? Iowa is one of the flattest states and the wind is usually out of the west so you'd have a good tailwind. Only thing I can think of to support Phils thinking.

    Sun Visor versus Fuel Consumption

    .02 doesn't sound like much but in a unit your size it's a BIG savings...these are times to be practical not comfortable, if one is going to beat these tough times just got to Git'R' Done.

    Are you a thinker?

    Are you a thinker? I try it once in awhile and it usually gets me in trouble. I have a Republican friend with the same problem and I want to share his testimony with you: It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then to loosen up. Inevitably though, one...

    Diesel Stolen While Driver Sleeps

    I hope they make the locking caps better then when I was a teen...those caps they made for cars were a snap to pop off with the "right tool"!! The ones I've seen in the TS's don't look all that "secure" for someone who knows what they are doing. Better yet would be a cap linked to an alarm...

    Gasser Sprinter

    From a 2009 review... The SLK 350 carries what Mercedes says is a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that has undergone a major overhaul and now produces 300 hp (32 more than the previous version) and 265 lb.-ft. of torque. However, Mercedes says the high-revving engine also provides better fuel economy and...
