Make sure you inspect your injectors, alternator, and serp belt tensioner and belt. Very common issues. Some have bad harmonic balancers and some didn't. I just had mine replaced recently. You can lose a engine if you continue to drive on a bad harmonic balancer.

PS3 in the truck, you guys don't mess around with the amenities! :)

Looking into getting this generator. I like the 2400 model but it is heavier and may not be able to have as many mounting options on a 06 Sprinter. Any ideas where this one could go? May want to run labtop at same time, don't think I would be using anything else while ac was on. Yamaha...

I use MB spec Liqui Moly. Runs around 10 bucks a liter. I change it every 40-60k, easier then a oil change. But the smell is not easier. Dispose this stuff immediately. I learned the hard way! :) LIQUI MOLY - Motor Oils, Additives, Car Care - Products - Hypoid Gear Oil (GL 5) SAE 85W-90

What kinda differential fluid are you using? I use 85w90 weight.

$1.25 A MILE FOR EXTENDED SPRINTERS according to Ceva recruiters.

San Antonio Tx, Austin Tx, Houston Tx, Dallas Tx, Laredo Tx, El Paso Tx :)

Guy in the UK on the Sprinter Forums had over 900k. But I hear there is a Sprinter with over a million in US.... not sure if that is true or not. Couple guys on here have stories of 800k. My two 2006's are still young in the 210-220k and climbing mark :)

I love this thread, you guys are giving away all your secrets! :) I guess it varies between cargo van and straight. 1. Chicago (Dominates every city) 2. Detroit (competes with Chicago aggressively) 3. Cleveland/Akron Oh 4. Charlotte NC (best upcoming fastest growing) 5. Possibly Atlanta but I...

Maybe they would be willing to send some of the freight they can't cover from shortage of drivers over to the expedite companies. I think a lot of drivers would be willing to work for .10 less a mile as opposed to sitting. :)

Gotta pay your dues!! :)

DaveKC where do you get a good contract, do you make your own or use one already in place for you and your drivers?

These trucks should be at 12-13 mpg by now, what is the hold up. I mines well just stick with a volvo d11 lowest hp and drive it slow with the cruise on.

I'm pushing 27 mpg with a truck that was designed in the 90's with a 2.7L engine that was derived off a engine from the late 70's. Technology still has a long ways to go till I can fork over 40 grand.

Re: Top 10 Best Expedite company's. The best are the ones that are hiring, take a look on the back page of the Expedite Now Magazine and that will be your answer. The ones that have fast settlements, empty moves, all DH paid is a plus.

Plenty more miles to go, are you staying local with Ceva?

https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/4623107002.html Nice build, just needs to connect the cab with box.

It means I wish I was in a better truck but if I can't pay cash for it then I won't do it. Financing just isn't for some folks. In the meantime I'll be in a 2006 Sprinter :)

Very well said! You can expect to spend $1500-2500 on a decent air ride seat and there is always the salvage yard if you're on a budget. Mercedes will not just sell Sprinter seats. I've already looked into buying suspension seats new from 14 model Sprinter. They will not sell them due to...

Wonder if they could hang with these... https://www.recaro-automotive.com/fileadmin/CONTENT_NEW_WEBSITE/pdf/kataloge/rau_cv_preisliste_d.pdf
