    Sprinter updates:good,bad &ugly

    Apparently the 05's have a redesigned EGR according to dealer.

    Sprinter 1 ton wheelwell intrusion solution?

    The Well conversion sounds safer to me as the dually has smaller wheels to lower the center of gravity, The single wheel has 16" wheels....putting a false floor would raise this and chance of tipping is increased.

    Sprinters

    The EGR problem is only here in North America. Its part of the pollution control system here because we still use dirty diesel fuel. It can be safely disconnected if theres a problem.
