    Cargo Van Sprinter 05

    Post it when you figure it out. That was one of the reasons I stopped driving my million mile ford diesel, but the restarts could take up to an hour of sitting...like it had no fuel at all...and no engine light

    How many Miles do Ford Alternators last?

    My single longest lasting replacement one was the Import Direct brand from O'Reillys auto parts...just about 400,000 miles...no idea why, probably a fluke but they're cheap GOOD junk All my Ford alternators would fail between 300,000 to 400,000 if we're talking original...buy the spare now and...

    Gauges what do you use

    I really like the idea of knowing what's up before the idiot light tells me the engine / tranny is fried. This isn't vehicle specific...what gauges did you add and why? Here's what I like, what do you run...

    New Sprinter scan tool

    If you have this tool, do the Internet update. Many new screens and Sprinter modules covered, and it goes alongside the old software so no functionality is lost. (I used the newer tool updater for MB II) I was able to see all the climate control sensors, my temp on the highway with windows down...

    Had the regular run to WV...was treated to an air show on the way there...someone in a stunt plane was pulling out all the stops over the QEW, loops rolls the whole bit...did a stall right over the highway and hung there for a few seconds, then buzzed low enough I could almost make him (her?)...

    Sprinter battery bank

    All done...mounted with bolts not self tapping screws....recommend everybody check their connections and grounds once a year even if working, there were a lot of corroded terminals even though mine was working...using a DMM is a great way to make sure your voltages and grounds are doing what...

    Sprinter battery bank

    Hmm. Only 2.5 volts thru the washer, 12.7 thru the cable...also found a bad ground, thru a seat bolt that must have gone nowhere...i used my laser printer yesterday (50 amp load) grounding thru the inverter case, that was safe :eek:
